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. North Tangipahoa parish tests soft, so no softener goes in.
Get my written plan and priceYour water arrives with chlorine in it. That is the disinfectant Tangipahoa (Second Ward) Water District 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 2.2 milligrams per liter, about 0.1 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 the aquifer under your feet. The water runs acidic at pH 6.32. 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. Chlorine byproducts read at 1 ppb in the published report, within the federal limit of 80. Whole-home carbon reduces them, which is one more reason the carbon tank earns its place here.
