Water in Austin is Very Hard
According to our proprietary data, the average total water hardness in Austin is 12.5 grains per gallon (gpg), which falls in the very hard range. This means there’s a lot of calcium and magnesium in the water here — two minerals that can build up over time and leave behind residue in your pipes, appliances, and fixtures. This buildup can make things less efficient and even shorten the life of your home’s systems if left unchecked.

A recent analysis by Environment Texas Research and Policy Center reveals significant water quality concerns affecting Texas schools and childcare facilities. The study examined testing data from 1,509 schools and daycare centers submitted to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), finding that 1,175 facilities (78%) reported lead levels above 1 part per billion at least one tap. This threshold represents the standard recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics for safe drinking water.
The findings highlight the importance of water filtration solutions for Austin area families, as lead exposure poses serious health risks to children’s developing brains and nervous systems. According to the EPA, even low levels of lead exposure can cause learning disabilities, impaired hearing, and behavioral problems in children. Some Austin school districts have already begun addressing this issue by installing lead-filtering hydration stations, demonstrating the practical value of water treatment systems in protecting children’s health and development.

Frequently asked questions
-
Austin’s water averages 12.53 grains per gallon, which falls in the very hard category. This level of hardness can help dry out your hair and may reduce soap effectiveness, making it harder to get a good lather. A water softener can help restore balance to your water, potentially giving you softer, healthier-looking hair and helping improve your daily washing routine.
-
There are many benefits to filtering your water. It can help safeguard your health, prolong the life of your plumbing and appliances, enhance clothing longevity, and eliminate the need for single-use plastic water bottles.
-
Water filters and water softeners both help improve water quality by removing certain unwanted materials. Water filters focus on contaminants and chemicals, and often work by forcing water through some kind of barrier to trap debris and allow only cleaner, clearer water to pass through. Water softeners, on the other hand, work more like a magnet, pulling away minerals and impurities that cause hard water.
-
Does your water taste or smell bad? Are you experiencing hard water stains on your appliances, or scale buildup on your shower head? While there are many signs that you may need a water filter, the best way to determine whether you need water treatment is to schedule a free water test from our local office in Austin.
-
Reverse osmosis (RO) is a drinking water purification process that helps remove unwanted substances from tap water by pushing water through a special barrier called a semipermeable membrane. This barrier blocks heavy metals (like lead), arsenic, PFAS, chlorine, and chemicals, so only purified water is passed through. The result is water with 99.9% of all contaminants, sediments, and particles removed, making crisper, cleaner, and safer drinking water.
