Based on the report, whole-home carbon for the chlorine at every tap. Add reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink if better drinking water is part of why you're calling. If it isn't, the carbon system stands on its own, and the quote prices the two on separate lines.
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.
U.S. Dept. of Energy Energy Saver; ASTM D6284.Your water arrives with chlorine in it, at 2.2 parts per million. That is the disinfectant the Abita Lakes system uses, and it is the taste people notice in coffee, in ice, and in the first glass of the day. For context, swimming pools are kept between 1 and 3 parts per million of chlorine. This water arrives in that same range. Carbon takes it out at every tap in the house.
The water here is groundwater, pumped from Well 1 at Abita Lakes East.
Each finding decides a piece of the package, including the pieces we leave out.
| The report shows | At your house | The answer | Why that one |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlorine at 2.2 ppm | The taste and smell in coffee, ice, and the first glass of the day | Whole-home carbon | Chlorine sticks to carbon on contact, and a full-size tank gives the water that contact time. |
