That pool taste in your coffee and ice is chloramine, the disinfectant this system uses. The staining in tubs and laundry has a cause in the report too.
What we'd do at your house

The Complete Home package: whole-home catalytic carbon for the chloramine 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. Iron filtration handles the staining before it reaches your fixtures. Whippoorwill Grove tests soft, so no softener goes in.

What this means at your house

Your water arrives with chloramine in it, at 1.8 parts per million. That is the disinfectant Magnolia-Whippoorwill Grove (CSWR) uses, and it is what people taste in coffee, in ice, and in the first glass of the day. Chloramine does not gas off in a pitcher the way chlorine does, so catalytic carbon is the piece that takes it out, at every tap in the house.

The hardness here is 13.4 milligrams per liter, about 0.8 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 Whippoorwill Grove Well 001 + Well 2. The report also shows iron above the aesthetic limit. That is the orange or dark staining that shows up in tubs, sinks, and laundry over time, and iron filtration is built for exactly that. The water runs acidic at pH 5.31. 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.

Boundary confidence: likely. Systems in this area interlock, so we confirm yours by address before we quote anything.
