What makes HSW different than other companies?
There are so many factors to determine exactly what you need regarding a softener and if you need more than just a softener. At HSW we “DO NOT SELL COOKIE CUTTER SOFTENERS”. Each house or business we go to we test the water and determine what type of system is needed. We have many different operating valves to choose from and different sized units as well. This is essential so we can provide not only great consistent water, but also good flow rates. If a company provides soft water but also cuts your water pressure in half, is that still acceptable?
We have many different types of softener medias to choose from and we build ALL OF OUR UNITS at our warehouse. That ensures that a properly configured system is installed.
HSW provides a free no pressure consultation. We do not hard sell our services. A site survey ensures we have all the info we need to make a proper recommendation; which is why we cannot provide a full quote over the phone. We are happy to discuss and give you some ballpark figures if you would like to call our office. We want to design and provide the best system for your needs and budget.
Since 1987 HSW has been providing a personal sales relationship with our customers without obligation.

About Homer’s Soft Water Team Members
Kevin Davitt | Owner of HSW
Kevin was born and raised in Victoria, Texas. He met his wife Leah when they were both teenagers. Kevin started working for Homer Blake in March of 2000 right after he proposed to his daughter. Kevin and Leah married in April of 2001.
Kevin continued to learn more about the industry of water filtration and was able to take on more responsibilities in the company. In 2005 Kevin was the primary sales rep for the company. In 2009 he started managing the company. In 2016, Kevin had the opportunity to purchase the company from His Father-in-law.
Kevin currently holds a TCEQ Class III Water Treatment Specialist License, and he regularly attends seminars learning new treatment methods and also understanding how and why the water quality is changing. Kevin is still doing all of the initial sales calls and consultations because it is his favorite part of his job, getting to meet people and figuring out what they need to get their problems fixed. His approach is just how Homer did it, very laid back, non-pushy, and focuses on education and explanations of the treatments rather than a hard sell style.
Kevin and Leah have two kids, Jaxson and Carli. When Kevin is not working he enjoys being with his family, playing with his son and daughter, and taking family trips. Kevin loves history, including researching world history and pre civil war era American history. He also loves his New York Yankees and New York Giants.
James Moore | General Manager
James Moore is the other of the two sons-in-law who continues on in the family business originally founded by Homer Blake, their father-in-law. James has been involved in the water filtration and treatment industry since 1996, and currently holds a TCEQ Class III Water Treatment Specialist License and a TCEQ Class D Water Operator License. During his time in the industry, he has had the opportunity to install and service both residential and commercial filtration equipment, as well as specialized disinfection equipment such as Chlorinators and UV Systems.
As a husband and a father of one son, during his days off he enjoys to spend time outdoors with his family. An avid bird watcher and traveler, James seeks any opportunity he can to get away and enjoy all that nature offers including the State and National Parks. One of his mottos is: “Sometimes the best therapy is to just get in the car, and take a road trip with no specific place in mind and enjoy the simple things in life”.
If you happen to call HSW concerning a technical issue, it is very probable James will be one of those with whom you speak. As with the rest of the company, if he doesn’t know the answer, he will acknowledge it and get back with you once he does.
Amie Michalec | Office Manager
Amie has been with Homer’s Soft Water since August 2011. She brought with her a broad range of office and customer relations experience. Amie has a great eye for detail, and her love for our customers and giving them the best service possible really shines through!
When not working at HSW, Amie spends her time with her teenage daughter and their pets – 3 cats and 2 bettas. When it is time to relax, she loves being in the hill country or anywhere near the water, especially where the rivers are lined with cypress trees!
Feli Ramirez | Lead Technician
Feli joined HSW in early 2014. Feli does a lot of the heavy lifting for HSW, literally. He handles the salt and service routes and assists on installs and service work. We keep him very busy!
