You can't fix what you haven't measured. A NorthStar specialist visits your home, tests your water right at the tap, and walks you through every number — hardness, chlorine, pH, and contaminants. Then we design the exact system your home needs. Zero pressure, zero obligation.
A complete picture of what's flowing into your home — explained in plain language.
Calcium & magnesium levels that cause scale buildup and dry skin.
Disinfectants that affect taste, odor, skin, and hair.
Acidic or alkaline water that can corrode pipes or leave deposits.
Sediment, lead, arsenic, PFAS, and other trace concerns.
Type your city or zip code for an instant profile of your water: hardness, total dissolved solids, pH, chlorine, iron, and contaminant risk flags for PFAS, arsenic, lead, and nitrates — plus a combined quality score.
Houston, TX
Harris County • Houston Metro • Municipal Average
Multiple issues detected. Whole-home filtration + softening + RO drinking water advised.
Total dissolved solids
Range 7.2–7.8
Home goal < 0.2 mg/L
Staining & taste
Linked to immune, thyroid, and developmental effects. Found in many Texas utility systems.
Naturally occurring in Texas aquifers. There is no truly safe level — long-term exposure is linked to cancer. Ion exchange (softening) and reverse osmosis both remove it.
Trace only (below EPA 10 ppb limit). Still worth filtering out.
Leaches from older service lines and home plumbing. No safe level for children.
Runoff from fertilizer & septic. Dangerous for infants at elevated levels.
Low — typical for treated municipal supply.
Recommended NorthStar Solution
Full multi-stage treatment: Whole Home Filtration + Smart Softener + Reverse Osmosis drinking water. Engineered for high hardness and contaminant load.
Estimates are based on typical published municipal utility averages, known regional contaminant concerns, and common well conditions. Your exact readings can vary by neighborhood, utility, and season — a free on-site test gives you precise lab-grade results.
Hard water doesn't just damage your home — it drains your wallet. Scale-clogged heaters waste energy, appliances die years early, and plumbing repairs pile up. See what a NorthStar system puts back in your pocket every year.
