Slidell, St. Tammany Parish · PWS ID LA1103148
Monterey water carries chlorine at 1.5 parts per million, and it tests soft. The white film people here find on glasses and fixtures is the dissolved minerals the water carries, and a softener would never touch that.
Beneath the surface
Magnolia - Monterey Subdivision · PWS ID LA1103148 · 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. Monterey tests soft, so no softener goes in.
Get my written plan and priceYour water arrives with chlorine in it, at 1.5 parts per million. That is the disinfectant Magnolia - Monterey Subdivision 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.
This system reports soft water, so a softener would have almost nothing to work on and we leave it out of the plan. What people here notice instead is white film on glasses and fixtures. It is the dissolved minerals the water carries, including sodium at 68 milligrams per liter, drying wherever the water evaporates. Reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink substantially reduces it in your drinking water, your ice, and the glasses you rinse at that tap. Shower glass and the dishwasher run on their own plumbing, and the routine that works there is a habit we hand you free.
The water here is groundwater, pumped from Tap at Monterey Well.
