## How We Work

1. Free consultation: we pull your utility's Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) for insight into your specific water district, listen to your concerns, and survey the home to determine what a clean installation requires. We do not use water testing as a high-pressure sales tactic. Visual before-and-after checks are available for results verification.
2. Honest recommendation: sized to your home, water usage, and utility-reported hardness. If you don't need treatment, we say so.
3. Professional installation: typically 2-4 hours, performed by licensed and insured contractors. Clean work, labeled shutoffs, code-compliant.
4. Ongoing support: we service what we sell. Repairs and maintenance are for Filtration Brothers systems only — we do not service equipment installed by other companies, but we're happy to quote a replacement.

| Good | 1.5 cu.ft. water softener OR 1.5 cu.ft. catalytic carbon filter | $2,565 |
| Better | 2.0 cu.ft. mixed bed system (1.5 cu.ft. resin + 0.5 cu.ft. catalytic carbon) | $3,450 |
| Softener + Standard Carbon | Ships where the water district uses free chlorine; chloramine districts get catalytic carbon at the same price | $3,450 |
| Best (Dual Tank) | 1.5 cu.ft. water softener AND separate 1.5 cu.ft. catalytic carbon filter | $4,900 |

Upgrades and add-ons:
- Tankless reverse osmosis (under-sink drinking water system, IntelliClear Pro600, 7-stage, 600 GPD, 1.5:1 waste ratio, NSF-certified): $475 added to any package; standalone RO is $997 plus installation
- Tank upsize from 1.5 to 2.0 cu.ft. (0.5 cu.ft. additional media + larger mineral tank): $425 per tank
- Well water systems: 100% custom-built. Every well project starts with a $397 laboratory water analysis, and the system is designed and quoted from the lab results. We never quote a well system without them.

All package prices include free consultation, professional installation, and a 1-year front-to-back warranty.

## Houston Water Facts (from published CCR data)

- Houston-area hardness typically runs 120-234 ppm (7-14 GPG) depending on water district. Katy runs 150-210 ppm; Cypress 150-200+ ppm; The Woodlands ~160 ppm; Sugar Land 90-171 ppm across its four systems.
- Most surface-water systems (WHCRWA, NHCRWA, City of Houston) use chloramines for disinfection. Chloramines require catalytic carbon filtration; standard activated carbon is ineffective against them.
- Some groundwater-only districts (e.g. City of Tomball, parts of Sugar Land) use free chlorine, which standard carbon removes effectively.
- Arsenic has been detected in several Cypress-area MUDs (2-5.66 ppb, below the 10 ppb EPA limit). Reverse osmosis removes arsenic from drinking water.
- We cite official Consumer Confidence Reports (CCRs) with TCEQ system IDs on our location pages.
