Serving Tarrytown, Austin
Whole-home softening, lead-reducing reverse osmosis and filtration for Tarrytown’s established, high-value homes.
Tell us about your water — we’ll recommend the right system. No obligation.
Tarrytown is one of central Austin’s most established neighborhoods — beautiful, high-value homes, many built decades ago. That history brings two water concerns under one roof: hard city water, and aging plumbing that can add lead to the water on its way to your tap.
Tarrytown is served by Austin Water, sourced from the Colorado River via the Highland Lakes. Austin Water’s 2025 report lists it as moderately hard (averaging about 5.4 grains per gallon / 93 ppm), with chloramine disinfection. In older homes, the bigger concern is often the plumbing itself: pre-1986 pipes, brass fixtures and lead solder can leach lead into tap water, especially where water sits overnight.
Local water data: Tarrytown is served by Austin Water (Colorado River / Highland Lakes). State sampling (TCEQ) shows treated-water hardness around 90–110 mg/L — about 5–6 grains per gallon (moderately hard) — in line with Austin Water’s 2025 report (93 ppm, ~5.4 gpg), with chloramine disinfection. In older homes the bigger concern is usually lead from pre-1986 plumbing rather than the city supply. Hardness varies by reading and over time, so we confirm yours with an on-site water check.

A whole-home softener (or Enhanced Filtration) handles the hardness and protects your plumbing and appliances, while a reverse osmosis system at the kitchen sink is the most effective way to reduce lead in the water you drink and cook with. Regular maintenance keeps it all performing.

If your home predates 1986 or has original plumbing, it’s worth testing. Lead typically comes from old pipes, solder and fixtures rather than the city supply. Reverse osmosis at the kitchen tap reliably reduces lead in drinking water.
Yes — it’s the same hard Colorado River supply as the rest of Austin, which is why you see scale on fixtures and spotting on glassware.
No — by removing the hardness minerals that cause scale, a properly installed softener actually reduces buildup and stress on plumbing. We size and install for your home.
Usually a whole-home softener for hardness plus a reverse osmosis unit at the kitchen for lead and great-tasting drinking water. We confirm with a free estimate first.
Yes. We offer space-saving and twin-tank configurations and will design around the realities of an established home.
