Hi, I'm Anthony Jory. As a father of three young children, I'm extremely passionate about the health and wellness of our little ones. After learning about how toxic our water is in Texas, I became obsessed with finding the safest option for our children.
From bathing to drinking to cooking, it's vital to use safe water. That's why I started Honest Water Co β to provide easy solutions to serious problems within every budget.
We service an 85-mile radius from Round Rock β covering everything from Waco in the north to New Braunfels in the south.

An 85-mile service radius from Round Rock covers the entire Central Texas corridor β from Waco in the north down through Austin to New Braunfels in the south. We install year-round with local techs.
Hundreds of installs across Round Rock. Limestone-fed water carries high calcium and magnesium that damages plumbing, dries skin, and shortens appliance life.
Cedar Park's water from the Jollyville Plateau picks up heavy mineral loads through limestone terrain. Costs $300β$500/year in extra soap and early appliance failure.
One of Austin's fastest-growing cities β same hard-water limestone. Even newer PEX plumbing can't protect fixtures from aggressive mineral content.
Tripled in population since 2010. All those new homes share one problem: hard water. Many homeowners notice scale buildup within months of moving in.
Often double the "very hard" threshold. Water heaters in Sun City and Berry Creek frequently fail 5β7 years ahead of schedule without softening.
Same Edwards Plateau supply. Municipal chlorine treatment dries skin, affects taste, and forms disinfection byproducts. We fix all of it.
The Bell County corridor pulls water from Stillhouse Hollow and Belton lakes β high in calcium and minerals from the Edwards-Trinity aquifer. We install regularly across Killeen, Harker Heights, Temple, and Belton.
Waco's water from Lake Waco runs hard through the city's older infrastructure, with significant chlorine and sediment. Our Waco-area installs handle both city and well water for homes inside the 85-mile reach.
The Edwards Aquifer feeds San Marcos and New Braunfels β naturally hard, occasionally elevated in nitrates depending on the area. We service both Hays and Comal counties year-round.
"Honest Water Co of Austin did a fantastic job installing our water softener and filtration system! We live in Elgin, TX and were dealing with hard water issues. The team was professional, explained everything clearly, and completed a clean, efficient installation with no mess. Already seeing great results β softer water, no more spots on dishes, and better skin/hair feel. Highly recommend!"
"We have some of the worst hard water in our area and recently had Honest Water Co install the entire home water system with reverse osmosis under the sink for a great deal. Ethan worked with us on a reasonable price for digging and installing the water loop as well. Lifetime warranty was a big plus. Alberto (plumber w/ 20 yrs experience) respected our home and made sure the system was running perfectly. Softer water, better skin and hair, no more hard water buildup β and we no longer have to buy plastic bottles!"
"Something I never do, but I clicked on an Instagram ad for Honest Water Co of Austin and I'm sure glad I did. Got a near immediate response from Ethan on a Saturday morning. He came out a few hours later and quoted a water softener, pre-sediment filter, under-sink RO, and trenching β thousands of dollars cheaper than other companies. Monday Alberto came out and completed the entire job by himself. My water feels amazing. Knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. Absolutely recommend!"
"The name says it all. Ethan did an excellent job of explaining the process to me. The installer was very knowledgeable about the water softener and the installation. They were great and on time! Will recommend!"
"Big shoutout to Honest Water Co! Ethan was awesome β dude knows his stuff and explained everything in plain English, no sales pitch. Texted me back quick, crew showed up when he said he would, and pricing was totally reasonable. No games or hidden fees. Install was clean and they walked me through how to use everything before they left. Water's been perfect since. If you need a water softener, call Honest Water Co. Solid company."
"Great experience with Honest Water Co of Austin. Their pricing was the best, and the whole process was smooth and easy. Ethan was professional, knowledgeable, and helpful from start to finish. I recommend them for great service and fair pricing."
