Why Well Water Users in Texas Need Advanced Filtration Systems
Rural living has its perks: privacy, space, and often, access to your own well water. But if you’re a homeowner in Texas relying on well water, knowing what’s in your supply is essential. Across the Lone Star State, natural water sources can come with serious quality concerns, making advanced water filtration systems a must.
What’s Lurking in Your Texas Well Water?
Texas geology is rich in limestone, meaning well water often comes with a high mineral content—hard water. In areas like the Rio Grande Valley, levels can reach 15–18 grains per gallon (gpg), while San Antonio hovers between 12–15 gpg. That hardness doesn’t just leave spots on your dishes; it clogs plumbing, damages appliances, and dries out your skin and hair.
But hard water is just the start. Because private wells aren't regulated like municipal supplies, they can also harbor:
Bacteria and viruses from septic systems or agricultural runoff
Heavy metals like arsenic, lead, or iron
Pesticides and nitrates from nearby farming operations
Sulfur compounds, causing that familiar “rotten egg” smell
Why a Standard Filter Isn’t Enough
Simple faucet or pitcher filters won’t cut it for well water. To protect your household, you need a multi-stage filtration system tailored to your home’s specific water profile. That often includes:
Whole-home water softeners to prevent scale buildup
Chemical filtration to remove chlorine, sulfur, or iron
Reverse osmosis systems for purified drinking water
UV purification for microbial contaminants
Unfiltered well water can also wear down water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines, leading to expensive appliance repairs. Worse, long-term exposure to specific contaminants can affect your family’s overall health. An advanced water treatment system gives you peace of mind and better water, straight from the tap.

Professional service. On time. Great communication from office staff and Technician alike. They told me the amount due at the time of making the appointment, and then mount stayed the same all the way through the service. He even changed out some parts that were wearing thin At no extra charge.
I would have to say this was one of the best presentations I've had in awhile. I learned a lot about the water inside my home and about how that water is affecting my fixtures and family. I am so glad that we decided to go with RainSoft for our family. And a great big thank you to Frank for educating us and taking the time to answer all our questions!
The water quality test was conducted in a professional manner and Gina explained everything in simple terms. Thank you Gina!
