Hammond, Tangipahoa Parish · PWS ID LA1105010
Hammond Heights water carries chlorine, and it tests soft at 3 milligrams per liter, about 0.2 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. The published report also shows chlorine byproducts at 20 ppb, within the federal limit.

Here is your system: whole-home carbon for the chlorine 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 chlorine in it. That is the disinfectant Utilities Inc. - Hammond Heights (Nexus Water Group) 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 white film on glasses and fixtures is the dissolved minerals the water carries, including sodium at 161 milligrams per liter and a pH of 9.13, 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. Chlorine byproducts read at 20 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.
