What this means at your house

Your water arrives with chlorine in it. That is the disinfectant Pontchatoula Water System (City of Ponchatoula) 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 1.7 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 report also shows manganese at 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.

Getting your numbers checked
