Hammond, Tangipahoa Parish · PWS ID LA1105008
Greater Hammond water carries chloramine, and it tests soft at 5.8 milligrams per liter, about 0.3 grains. 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
Tangipahoa Parish Water District (TWD) · PWS ID LA1105008 · 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. 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. That is the disinfectant Tangipahoa Parish Water District (TWD) 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 white film on glasses and fixtures is the dissolved minerals the water carries, including sodium at 62.2 milligrams per liter, drying wherever the water evaporates. Reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink gives you clean drinking water, clear ice, and spot-free glasses at that tap.
The water here is groundwater, pumped from the aquifer under your feet.
