Beneath the surface
Magnolia-Whippoorwill Grove (CSWR) · PWS ID LA1103165 · 2025 water quality report
Here is your system: whole-home catalytic carbon for the chloramine at every tap, plus reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink for the water you drink, cook with, and freeze. 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. It is the setup we put in most homes on this water, and it earns its keep every single day.
Your water arrives with chloramine in it, at 1.8 parts per million. That is the disinfectant Magnolia-Whippoorwill Grove (CSWR) uses, and it is what people taste in coffee, in ice, and in the first glass of the day. Chloramine does not gas off in a pitcher the way chlorine does, so catalytic carbon is the piece that takes it out, at every tap in the house.
The water here is groundwater, pumped from Whippoorwill Grove Well 001 + Well 2. 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 5.31. 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.
Boundary confidence: likely. Systems in this area interlock, so we confirm yours by address before we quote anything.
