πŸ’§ City water homeowners β€” do you need both a whole house water filter AND a water softener, or just one?

It's one of the most common questions we get, and the answer depends entirely on your water.

Here's the short version:

πŸ”΅ A water filter makes your water cleaner β€” removes chlorine, chloramines, PFAS, and chemical byproducts

πŸ”΅ A water softener makes your water softer β€” removes hardness minerals that cause scale, spotted dishes, and dry skin.
They solve different problems. They are not interchangeable.
For most US city water homeowners the answer is both β€” and the order you install them matters more than most people realize.

(Hint: the carbon filter always goes first, or you'll shorten your softener's life significantly.)

We also break down why KDF media falls short for city water, when a salt-free conditioner makes sense, and whether softened water needs to be filtered for drinking.

Is your well water trying to tell you something?πŸ’§

Orange stains on your sinks. A rotten egg smell. Cloudy water or a strange metallic taste. These aren't just annoyances β€” they're warning signs that something in your well water needs attention.

Here are 7 signs your well water may have a problem πŸ‘‡

πŸ”΄ Orange or rust-colored stains on fixtures and laundry
πŸ”΄ Rotten egg or sulfur smell
πŸ”΄ Cloudy, murky, or discolored water
πŸ”΄ Metallic or bitter taste
πŸ”΄ Scale buildup on faucets and appliances
πŸ”΄ Slippery or slimy feeling water
πŸ”΄ Sudden change in water pressure or flow

The good news: every one of these problems has a solution β€” and it starts with knowing what's actually in your water.

For a limited time, mail in your own water sample and get a free General Mineral Analysis from our lab β€” no kit needed, just a clean bottle and your well water.

πŸ’§ Buying an iron filter for your well water? Getting the size wrong is one of the most common β€” and expensive β€” mistakes homeowners make.

Too small and it can't keep up with demand. Too big and it won't backwash properly. Either way you're back to rusty water and orange stains.

The right size comes down to three things:

βœ… Your well pump flow rate (GPM)
βœ… Your iron level (from a water test)
βœ… Your home size and peak water demand

We just published a complete step-by-step guide walking you through exactly how to size an iron filter for your well β€” including a sizing chart, what to do if your flow rate is too low, and when you need pre-treatment ahead of the filter.

Not sure what's in your well water? Start with a water test. Clean Water Store offers everything from low-cost test kits to certified lab tests with SimpleLab. We also offer a very low cost General Mineral AnalysisπŸ’§

🚰 Those orange stains on your fence, driveway, or siding? Your sprinklers are doing that β€” and scrubbing them off is just temporary.

The problem isn't your irrigation system. It's iron in your well water. And every time your sprinklers run, they're spraying dissolved iron that oxidizes on contact with air β€” leaving rust stains on everything it touches.

The good news: there's a permanent fix. And it starts with knowing your iron level.

Gerry from Clean Water Store breaks it all down in our latest blog β€” why your water can look crystal clear and still cause staining, the difference between polyphosphate injection and iron filtration, and how to choose the right solution for your home.

Not sure what's in your well water? Start with a water test β€” lab analysis starts at just $10 at our lab πŸ’§

πŸ’§ Do You Know What's Actually in Your Water?

Most homeowners either skip testing entirely β€” or grab a cheap strip kit from the hardware store and think they're covered.

The problem? The contaminants that matter most β€” bacteria, lead, arsenic, PFAS β€” are completely invisible. No taste. No smell. No color. You'll never know they're there without a real test.

We just published our Ultimate Guide to Testing Your Water β€” a complete step-by-step breakdown for both city water and well water customers:

βœ… What to test for and why
βœ… Lab tests vs home test strips β€” when each makes sense
βœ… How to get a professional mineral analysis for as little as $10
βœ… The difference between certified and non-certified lab tests
βœ… What your results actually mean β€” and what to do next
βœ… When to go deeper with a full panel (PFAS, arsenic, VOCs, bacteria)
βœ… A simple decision table so you always know where to start

Whether you're on a private well or city water, this guide walks you through the whole process from start to finish β€” no guesswork.

Does your yard smell like rotten eggs the moment the irrigation turns on? 😧

Your water at the tap might seem fine. But the second it gets sprayed through a sprinkler head β€” broken into thousands of droplets and exposed to air β€” that hydrogen sulfide gas escapes all at once across your entire yard.

It is not your equipment. It is your well water. And there is a fix.

Gerry explains exactly what causes it and how to treat it in our latest blog post and video.

Ever wonder what actually happens inside your iron filter?πŸ’§

This is the 7500 Pro-OX Iron Filter System β€” and here is exactly how it works.

Unfiltered well water enters the tank, passes through Turbidex and Pro-OX Lite media manufactured right here in Texas, and comes out clean and iron-free at every tap.

The Pro-OX Lite media lasts years longer than traditional greensand. The ceramic disc valve handles over 150,000 backwash cycles. And the whole system runs on less than 20 watts of power.

No chemicals. No salt. Just clean water.

Ready to find out if this is the right system for your well water? Start with a water test or give us a call at 888-600-5426.
