# A New Braunfels softener service checklist

[Download the one-page quote worksheet (PDF)](https://newbraunfelswaterservice.com/quote-worksheet.pdf) Free to print and share. Record the details and compare two proposals.

## Gather these five details

- Property ZIP, permitting jurisdiction and public-water or private-well source
- Softener make, model, age and visible display message
- Household size and available water-test or service records
- Installation-space dimensions, access and existing connection details
- Repair, replacement or routine-service preference and timing

## Public resources for your property

Establish the water source and property jurisdiction before discussing a system. New Braunfels provides permit information, and TCEQ explains water-treatment specialist licensing and its exemptions.

- [New Braunfels permit information](https://newbraunfels.gov/3433/Permits) 

Describe the planned plumbing and system installation to the authority for the property; city limits and mailing address are separate questions.

- [TCEQ water-treatment specialist licensing](https://www.tceq.texas.gov/licensing/licenses/wtslic) 

Review the licensing categories and exemptions, then verify the credentials relevant to the business and work you choose.

## Five questions for the written proposal

Open a topic for the question to ask and what to compare.

### Assessment

**Ask:** What testing and diagnostic work is included?

A hardness result and a mechanical diagnosis answer different questions.

### Equipment

**Ask:** What capacity and model are proposed, and why?

Have the provider explain the sizing assumptions for the household and water source.

### Connections

**Ask:** Which plumbing, drain and electrical work is included?

Identify related trade work and who is responsible for arranging it.

### Setup

**Ask:** Who programs and commissions the system?

Ask for user instructions and the settings or records supplied at handover.

### Service terms

**Ask:** What callout, maintenance and warranty terms apply?

Distinguish a one-off repair from a recurring service agreement.

Preparation only. Do not disconnect plumbing or open equipment to complete this checklist. Local sources are independent of this website.

## Describe your project
