Beneath the surface
Magnolia - Penn Mill Place (CSWR) · PWS ID LA1103200 · 2025 water quality report
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. Iron filtration handles the staining before it reaches your fixtures. Penn Mill Place tests soft, so no softener goes in.
Get my written plan and priceYour water arrives with chlorine in it, at 2.3 parts per million. That is the disinfectant Magnolia - Penn Mill Place (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 24.8 milligrams per liter, about 1.5 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 Penn Mill Place Well. 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 5.72. 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.
