Whole-home softening and filtration, plus reverse-osmosis drinking water. Veteran owned and based in Crawford. We start with the published data for your address, then talk about what your home needs.
Every public system here publishes an annual water quality report. These figures come straight out of the current ones. Where a number is not published, we say so instead of estimating it.
The City of Waco's drinking water is entirely surface water from Lake Waco, treated by dissolved air flotation, ozone and filtration, then disinfected with chloramine that averaged 2.81 ppm across 2025. The finished water carries calcium of 44.9 to 45.7 mg/L and magnesium of 4.23 to 4.25 mg/L.
Woodway draws on six city wells in the Hosston Member of the Trinity Group Aquifer plus purchased treated surface water. It reports average total hardness of 66.46 mg/L as CaCO3, average sodium of 185.93 mg/L and average total dissolved solids of 584 mg/L. Waco, by comparison, reports sodium of 16.0 to 17.9 mg/L.
The City of Waco has removed all known lead service lines and publishes a searchable service line material map. Its 2025 90th-percentile lead result was 1.89 ppb against a 15 ppb action level. Woodway's UCMR5 sampling found no PFAS above individual or combined health-based thresholds.
Two stages on the main line, and a separate one at the kitchen tap. Which of them your house needs depends on what your water report says, and on whether you are on a public system or a private well.
A typical whole-home setup
Whole-home softening and filtration on the main line, plus under-sink reverse osmosis with its own faucet. Sizing follows the assessment.
Sits at the inlet and works on chlorine or chloramine and the by-products of municipal disinfection, a common cause of taste and odor complaints on a municipal supply.
Targets the calcium and magnesium that leave scale on fixtures and inside water heaters. Whether your house needs this at all depends on your system, and in this county that varies a great deal.
A separate under-sink stage for drinking and cooking water, with its own faucet. It handles dissolved solids that whole-home filtration is not designed to take out.
A private well is not covered by the annual Consumer Confidence Report rule, which applies to community public water systems. There is no published report to read, so the starting point is different.
Tell us your address. We pull the published report for whichever system serves you, or explain what applies if you are on a private well, and send it back in plain language.
We go through what the report says, what it does not cover, and what your options are. If your water does not need treating, that is what you will hear.
Work is scheduled around your household rather than a sales calendar. Flexible financing available, no credit check.
We read the published data for your address before recommending anything. You see the same numbers we do, with the source they came from.

Lake Waco, and nothing else. There is no well component to the city supply. The treatment steps and the current published figures are in the first card above, and the Waco page adds the lead service line results.
No, and it is worth knowing which system serves you before you spend anything. Waco is surface water. Woodway runs its own wells and reports very different sodium and dissolved solids, which the second card above sets out. Hewitt, Bellmead and McGregor are primarily groundwater, Robinson buys treated Waco water, and Lorena takes its base supply from Robinson. Each city page carries its own figures.
Private wells are not covered by the annual Consumer Confidence Report requirement, which applies to community public water systems, so there is no published report for your address. The Texas Well Owner Network, run by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension and the Texas Water Resources Institute, screens private well samples for total coliform bacteria, E. coli, nitrate-nitrogen and salinity, and recommends a screening every year. Groundwater in McLennan County comes primarily from the Trinity Aquifer, with the Brazos River alluvium also holding significant storage.
Waco and the surrounding McLennan County communities: Woodway, Hewitt, Robinson, China Spring, Lorena, McGregor, Crawford, Bellmead and West. Ben is based in Crawford. If you are just outside that list, call and ask.
