1. Mineral Hardness & Scale
North Texas tap water averages 6 to 15 GPG of dissolved calcium and magnesium. This mineral hardness leaves scale inside water heaters, ruins plumbing fixtures, and dries skin.

2. Chloramine Disinfection
Most DFW cities disinfect with chloramines (chlorine + ammonia) for long distribution pipelines. While necessary for sanitization, it causes chemical odors and is absorbed through skin during showers.
3. EWG Health Guidelines
While DFW utilities meet federal legal standards, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) tracks disinfection byproducts (like TTHMs and HAA5) that exceed independent, science-based health guidelines.
Published Mineral Hardness
8.5–12.0 GPG
Hard to Very Hard
Causes heavy scale in tankless heaters, spotted dishware, and calcium buildup on faucets.
Primary Disinfectant
Chloramines
Chlorine + Ammonia
Creates a chemical smell and strips natural skin and hair oils during hot showers.
EWG Science Benchmark
15 Exceedances
Exceeds Health Guidelines
Complies with EPA federal standards; exceeds independent scientific cancer-risk guidelines.

How ClrWtrCo Filtration Solves Municipal Water Concerns
View Full System Architecture →A primary 3-stage whole-home system targets sediment and chemical disinfectants at the point of entry, with modular add-ons for scale conditioning and kitchen drinking water.
Primary: Whole-Home (Stages 1–3)
3-Stage Chemical & Sediment Barrier
Sequential 5-micron sediment filtration, coconut shell GAC, and catalytic carbon block eliminate 99%+ of sediment, chlorine, chloramines, and chemical byproducts across every tap and shower.
4-Stage Whole-Home Upgrade
Salt-Free Scale Conditioning
Upgrades the whole-home system with TAC media to transform dissolved calcium into inert crystals without salt bags, electricity, or wasted water. (5-stage UV disinfection also available).
Kitchen Point-of-Use Add-On
Under-Sink Reverse Osmosis
Optional kitchen add-on purifies drinking and cooking water down to 0.0001 microns, removing nitrates, fluoride, lead, and heavy metals. Note: Point-of-use only — treats kitchen sink water, not the whole home.
Why At-Tap Testing Matters
Municipal Reports Measure the Plant. We Measure Your Tap.
Water quality reports reflect samples taken as water leaves the treatment facility. As water travels through miles of aging city mains and into your home's unique plumbing, mineral concentrations and chemical residuals change.
Know Exactly What's In Your Home's Water
A ClrWtrCo water specialist visits your home, tests your tap water with digital meters you can read yourself, and explains your practical options with zero sales pressure.
