Water Filtration System in Lockhart, TX

Abundant Plumbing installs water filtration and softening systems in Lockhart, and checks whether the problem is the water or the pipe it arrives through.

In an older house the plumbing is part of the water quality

Water can arrive at the property to standard and still pick up taste, colour or particulate on the way through aged pipework inside the house.

Water that looks rusty on first draw and clears as it runs has been sitting in corroded pipe. That is a pipe problem, not a supply problem, and filtering the result does not change what is happening upstream of the filter.

What we install in Lockhart

• Whole-home softeners for scale control
• Sediment and carbon filtration
• Point-of-use drinking water filtration
• Water testing on older properties
• Supply pipe assessment where discolouration points at the pipe

Whole-house or point-of-use

Whole-house treatment handles everything entering the property, which is what you want for scale and sediment affecting appliances. Point-of-use treats one tap and is usually the cheaper way to deal with drinking water taste.

Ordinary filtration does not soften water. Hardness is dissolved mineral and passes straight through a sediment or carbon filter. On an older property where the age of the plumbing is unknown, a test tells you whether you have a treatment question, a pipe question, or neither.

Whole-house or point-of-use

Point-of-use treats one tap and is usually the cheaper way to deal with drinking water taste. Many households do both, for different reasons.

Lockhart Water Filtration FAQ

My water looks rusty on first draw then clears. Why?

It has been sitting in corroded pipe. The supply is generally not the problem. The pipe between the main and the tap is, and that is a different conversation from filtration.

Will a filter fix water that tastes metallic?

It can improve it at the tap. In an older house a metallic taste often reflects what the water picks up from the pipework, and filtering the result does not change that.

Should older homes have their water tested?

There is a good case for it where the age of the plumbing is unknown. It tells you whether you have a treatment question, a pipe question, or neither.

What is the difference between whole-house and point-of-use?

Whole-house treats everything entering the property, which is what appliances need. Point-of-use treats one tap and is cheaper for drinking water quality.

Does filtration help with hard water?

Ordinary filtration does not. Hardness is dissolved mineral and passes straight through a sediment or carbon filter. Softening is what addresses it.
