Abita Springs water quality

The short answer

Abita Springs water is soft, free chlorine-disinfected aquifer groundwater. The fix: a whole-home carbon filter plus reverse osmosis for drinking water.

Abita Springs is famous for its water, and what comes out of your tap is soft aquifer water disinfected with plain chlorine. Here is what that means at your tap, and exactly what whole-home filtration does about it.

Easier on the parts that wear out

Sediment settles in your water heater and lowers its efficiency, and chlorine and chloramine embrittle the rubber seals, gaskets, and hoses inside your appliances over time. Filtering the whole house is gentler on all of it.
