Whole House Water Filtration in Canyon Lake, TX

Chlorine taste, sediment, cloudy water or odor at every tap? A point-of-entry filter treats all the water coming into the house.

Whole House Filtration in Canyon Lake

A whole-house filter sits where the water enters the home and treats every drop that follows, so the shower, the laundry and the ice maker all get the same water as the kitchen tap. In Comal County that solves a few different complaints. On a city or water-district supply, the most common one is the chlorine taste and smell the utility adds to keep the water safe, which a carbon filter removes. On wells and on older district lines, it is sediment and grit that clog aerators, wear out appliance valves and turn the water cloudy after a pump cycles or a main is worked on. We install whole-house water filtration systems across the county, sized to the home’s flow so the pressure does not drop when two showers and the dishwasher run at once. That means picking the right media and the right housing for your water: a sediment stage, a carbon stage for chlorine and taste, or a backwashing filter for a well that keeps throwing sand. We test first, so the filter you get is the one your water actually needs, and we install it with a bypass so the house is never without water during a cartridge change.

Water treatment in Canyon Lake

Canyon Lake wraps around the reservoir north of New Braunfels, a ring of lake communities, weekend houses and full-time homes set into steep, rocky hills above the water. Very little of it is on a city water system; most homes run on private wells drilled into the Hill Country limestone, and a few are on small community systems. That makes Canyon Lake the heart of our well water work. The water out of these wells is hard, and depending on the property it can carry iron that stains fixtures and the limestone where sprinklers hit, a sulfur smell that is strongest at the hot tap, or sediment that clogs aerators after the pump has been working. Second-home owners from Startzville to the north shore notice the smell first when they open the house after a few weeks away. Buyers under contract call us for a test because they have never owned a well. We test, then build the treatment in the right order for what is actually in your water: sediment, iron and sulfur removal, softening, and UV where a bacteria test calls for it, with an RO unit at the sink for drinking water. We service the softeners and filters already in place too, including the ones installed by whoever sold the house.

Common Water Problems in Canyon Lake

The water problems we see most around here, and how we handle them.

Sulfur smell when the house has sat empty

Weekend places around the lake sit unused for weeks, and the rotten-egg smell of hydrogen sulfide builds in the water heater and the lines. Owners notice it the moment they open the house. An oxidizing filter ahead of the softener removes the sulfur at the source, so the smell is gone whether the house is lived in or not.

Iron staining on fixtures and limestone

Dissolved iron is common in the wells on these hills. It is clear from the tap and turns orange when it meets air, so it streaks toilets, tubs and the rock where the sprinklers land. A properly sized iron filter in front of the softener takes it out; a softener alone fouls trying to.

Buyers who have never owned a well

Many Canyon Lake buyers are moving from a city and are on a well for the first time. We test during the option period, including a lab bacteria sample, explain the results and quote only the treatment the water calls for, so the well becomes a known quantity instead of a worry.

Whole House Filtration in Canyon Lake: FAQs

Do you cover the whole Canyon Lake area?
Yes. We cover Canyon Lake and the communities around the reservoir, including Startzville, Sattler, Canyon City, Hancock, Cordova and the subdivisions up the hills. Tell us where the property is and how the access looks and we will come prepared.
Our Canyon Lake well water smells like rotten eggs. Can it be fixed?
Yes. The smell is hydrogen sulfide, and it is a very common complaint on wells around the lake. We test to see how much is there and whether iron is riding along with it, then install an air-injection or media filter ahead of the softener that removes it. Most homes are smell-free from the first day.
Is well water at Canyon Lake safe to drink?
Most of it is, but the only way to know is a lab bacteria test, and that is the one test every well owner should have at purchase and after any flooding or well work. If the test comes back clean, treatment is about hardness, iron, sulfur and taste. If it does not, a UV disinfection unit is the standard fix and we install those as part of the treatment train.
What is the difference between a whole-house filter and a water softener?
A softener removes hardness minerals so you get less scale and better soap performance. It does nothing for taste, odor or sediment. A whole-house filter removes particles, chlorine taste and odor but does not soften. Many Comal County homes on city water end up with both: a filter for the chlorine and a softener for the limestone hardness. On a well, the filter stage protects the softener from grit.
Will a whole-house filter lower my water pressure?
Not if it is sized correctly. Pressure loss comes from housings that are too small for the home’s flow or cartridges that have gone too long without a change. We size to your plumbing and peak demand and install gauges so you can see when a cartridge is loading.
Our water goes cloudy or gritty after the well pump runs. What filter do we need?
That is sediment, and the right fix depends on how much and how fine it is. Light sediment is handled by a cartridge filter; a well that keeps producing sand or silt wants a backwashing filter that cleans itself, or the cartridges will need changing constantly. We test and look at the well before recommending which.
