No crunchy scale or stiff laundry · genuinely soft water, 0.4 gpgNo softener needed, ever
That pool taste in your coffee and ice is chlorine, the disinfectant this system uses. The water tests soft, so a softener is not part of what we would put in.
What we'd do at your house

The Complete Home package: whole-home carbon for the chlorine at every tap, plus reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink for drinking water, ice, and spot-free glasses at that tap. A pH neutralizer goes in ahead of it to bring the water back to balance. Pilot Street tests soft, so no softener goes in.

What this means at your house

Your water arrives with chlorine in it, at 1.3 parts per million. That is the disinfectant Magnolia-Pilot Street (CSWR) uses, and it is the taste people notice in coffee, in ice, and in the first glass of the day. Carbon takes it out at every tap in the house.

The hardness here is 6 milligrams per liter, about 0.4 grains. That is soft water by any measure, so a softener would have almost nothing to work on and we leave it out of the plan.

The water here is groundwater, pumped from Pilot St Well. The water runs acidic at pH 6.0. Acidic water works on copper plumbing, which is where blue-green stains around drains come from. A neutralizer brings the pH back to balance ahead of everything else.
