Water Softener & Filtration in Cypress, TX
Cypress water quality depends on your MUD — and there are dozens. Hardness runs 150–200+ ppm, most areas use chloramines, and arsenic levels range from 2 to 5.66 ppb across different systems. We test YOUR water before recommending anything. Softeners from $2,965 installed.
"They tested our water and found completely different issues than what our neighbor had — turns out we're on different MUDs. Glad we didn't just guess."

Cypress Water Quality: It Depends on Your MUD
Cypress isn't served by a single water system. It's an unincorporated area split between two regional water authorities — WHCRWA (West Harris County) and NHCRWA (North Harris County) — and served by dozens of individual MUDs.
Some MUDs pull 100% groundwater from the Evangeline Aquifer. Others buy surface water from Lake Houston. Most blend both — and the ratios are shifting as subsidence regulations force MUDs toward more surface water (60% by 2025, 80% by 2035).
Your neighbor across the street may literally be on a different water system with different water quality. That's why we test before we recommend.
Water Quality Data — Typical Range Across Cypress MUDs
These are ranges based on four major Cypress MUD CCRs. Your actual water quality depends on which MUD serves your address.
| Contaminant | Cypress Range | EPA Limit | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hardness | 150–200+ ppm (est.) | None (not regulated) | Hard — causes scale |
| Disinfectant | Varies by MUD | 4 mg/L | Free chlorine OR chloramines |
| TTHMs | 30–56 ppb | 80 ppb | 38–70% of limit |
| HAA5 | 6–47 ppb | 60 ppb | 10–78% of limit |
| Arsenic | 2–5.66 ppb | 10 ppb | Up to 57% of limit |
| Nitrate | 0.06–0.65 ppm | 10 ppm | Well below |
What This Means
All four Cypress MUDs we analyzed meet EPA standards — but the profiles are dramatically different depending on where you live.
- •Hardness across all MUDs ranges from 100–220 ppm — enough to cause scale buildup in pipes, water heaters, and appliances everywhere in Cypress.
- •Chloramines vs. free chlorine is the biggest variable. Most WHCRWA-connected MUDs use chloramines — requiring catalytic carbon ($3,850 with softener). Some groundwater MUDs use free chlorine — standard carbon works ($3,450 with softener).
- •HAA5 at Bridgeland hit 47 ppb — that's 78% of the EPA limit and the highest we've seen across all our Houston-area research. TTHMs at Coles Crossing hit 56 ppb — 70% of the limit.
- •Arsenic was detected in every MUD — up to 5.66 ppb at Bridgeland (57% of EPA limit). The EPA requires special health advisory language above 5 ppb. RO is the best defense for drinking water.
- •PFAS detected at Copperfield — three compounds (PFBA, PFHxA, PFPeA) at low levels. Lithium at 20.9 ppb avg also detected — above the 10 µg/L health reference.

Water Quality by Subdivision
Here's what the actual lab reports show from four major Cypress communities. Your MUD determines everything — from what's in your water to what kind of filter you need.
Bridgeland (MUD 419/418)
ChloraminesBlended — WHCRWA surface + Evangeline wells
Coles Crossing (MUD 364)
Free Chlorine100% Groundwater — Evangeline Aquifer
Copperfield (MUD 208)
ChloraminesBlended — Evangeline GW + WHCRWA surface
Towne Lake (MUD 500)
Chloramines100% Surface Water — WHCRWA
These are representative samples. Cypress has 30+ MUDs. If your subdivision isn't listed, your water may be similar to the nearest system above — but we can't guarantee that. We test on-site before recommending any system.
