Hard Water
Houston is no stranger to hard water. We may enjoy clean, reliable water from our taps and fixtures, but this water often has elevated levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium, other substances like chlorine and possibly even trace amounts of dirt and other debris in it as well. While this water may be safe to drink, it’s not ideal, not perfectly healthy, and often has a funny taste and texture. Plus it can leave your clothes feeling rough and scratchy, make your food taste strange, and even leave pesky water spots on your glassware and dishes. If you’re tired of dealing with this problem in your home’s water system, let Mrs. Water help you find the solution!
Hard water, characterized by a higher mineral and sediment content, originates from rainwater absorbing residual minerals as it percolates through heavy limestone (Calcium Carbonate). This phenomenon is particularly prevalent in Houston due to the city's water sourcing methods. Houston retrieves runoff rainwater from lakes such as Lake Conroe, Lake Houston, and Lake Livingston, which then undergoes treatment at local plants. The mineral particles present in hard water, akin to microscopic rocks, pose significant challenges and risks of damage to plumbing systems. Initially, they manifest as a film often mistaken for soap scum but is actually mineral residue. The city of Houston utilizes chloramines, a disinfectant formed when ammonia is added to chlorine, to treat drinking water at a rate of 4.9 ppm, exceeding the EPA's maximum allotment by 0.9 ppm.
As chloramines work to dispose of harmful bacteria, they strip away natural oils from the skin and hair, causing excess drying. Chloramine water also interacts with beneficial chemicals in skin and hair care products, reducing their absorption and effectiveness. Mrs. Water’s filtered and descaled water minimizes the risk of skin irritation and allergic reactions, providing a hydrating and refreshing effect and leaving the skin feeling soft and supple.

No Metals or Minerals
Houston's aging water infrastructure, currently in the process of gradual replacement, poses concerns regarding water quality. With tap water running through ancient pipes, whatever resides in these pipes goes directly into your cup. This raises questions about the cleanliness and purity of drinking water. Mrs. Water's systems ensure your drinking and bathing water is pure, addressing common plumbing issues and safeguarding against potential contaminants. By filtering out metals and minerals, our systems provide peace of mind regarding water quality, especially in areas prone to plumbing problems and infrastructure issues.
Better Taste and Smell
In addition to addressing water hardness and contaminants, filtering water also improves its taste and smell. With Mrs. Water’s filtration systems, you can enjoy crisp, clean water that enhances your drinking and cooking experience, free from unpleasant odors and flavors associated with untreated water.
