What this report does not rule out

PFAS cannot be seen, smelled, or tastedPFAS are a large family of long-lasting manufactured chemicals. They are often called “forever chemicals” because they break down very slowly.

This report does not include a usable PFAS result. No result is not the same as no PFAS. Certified kitchen reverse osmosis reduces PFOA and PFOS in the water used for drinking and cooking.

chlorine, 1.3 ppm, about 4 times the level some people can detect · The pool taste and smellCatalytic carbon takes it out
That pool taste in your coffee and morning glass is chlorine, the disinfectant this system uses. Everything here is published data for this water. The recommendation follows from it.

Water systems in this area interlock and no public map draws the line, so we confirm which one serves your address before we quote anything.

What we'd install

Based on the report, whole-home catalytic carbon for the chlorine at every tap. Reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink is optional, for drinking water and coffee. The whole-house recommendation remains the catalytic-carbon system either way.

What this does for your home
  • Reduces the chlorine taste and smell in showers, coffee, tea, and cooking water
  • Filtered drinking water from its own kitchen faucet
Cutaway of a water heater with sediment settled at the bottom
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.

It cannot say what is causing dry skin at your house. Hot water, soap, weather, and the disinfectant can all contribute, and the report only establishes that the disinfectant is present.

It publishes no hardness figure, so any softener conversation starts with a test at your tap, never with this page.

It cannot speak for the pipes inside your own walls. Lead sampling covers a handful of homes across the whole system, and your service line, solder, and fixtures are yours alone.

It says nothing about sediment at your particular faucet; annual reports do not measure what collects in one house.

Before anything goes on a quote, we ask what you are actually noticing and test whatever the published data cannot answer.
