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. A certified lead-reduction filter goes on the drinking water tap, because of what the public report shows. Pruden Creek tests soft, so no softener goes in.

What this means at your house

Your water arrives with chlorine in it, at 2 parts per million. That is the disinfectant Magnolia - Pruden Creek (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 20.6 milligrams per liter, about 1.2 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 Well 1 (North) + Well 2 (South). The water runs acidic at pH 5.97. 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. The published report for this system carries a lead result: the 90th percentile result was above the federal action level. We put it on this page because it is in the public record and you should know it is there. Certified lead-reduction filtration at the drinking water tap is the piece that addresses it.

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