The Proof
Why Do Bryan, TX
Homeowners LOVE Us?
We were noticing a strong disinfectant taste in our water and wanted to better understand what was coming through our taps. Since installing our RO filter, our drinking water tastes better and we feel much better about the water we use every day.
Our water always seemed a little off, especially when drinking it straight from the tap. Once we learned more about the chlorine levels and dissolved solids in the water, it made sense to look into filtration. The difference has been noticeable in both taste and overall water quality.
Even though the water meets standards, we still wanted to reduce trace contaminants and improve the taste. The testing process was simple, and the results helped us choose the right solution for our home. We’ve been really happy with the improvement.
Frequently Asked Questions for Water in Bryan, TX
Is SIs Bryan tap water safe to drink?
Yes, Bryan’s tap water meets state and federal drinking water standards. However, that does not mean the water is free of everything. Trace levels of contaminants and treatment-related byproducts can still be present in drinking water, which is why many homeowners choose filtration systems for added protection and better taste.
Is Bryan water hard?
Bryan’s reported hardness is relatively low at about 7.79 ppm as Ca/Mg, which would be considered soft water. Even so, other water quality factors like disinfectants, total dissolved solids, sodium, and taste-related constituents can still make treatment worthwhile depending on your goals.
Does Bryan use chlorine in its water?
Yes. Bryan uses chlorine disinfectant, with a highest average detected level of about 2.25 ppm. Chlorine is added to control microbes and keep water safe as it moves through the system, but it can also affect taste and odor. That is one reason many homeowners choose a drinking water filtration system.
Are disinfection byproducts found in Bryan water?
Yes. Bryan’s water testing detected:
- Total trihalomethanes (TTHMs): 42.3 ppb
- Total haloacetic acids (HAA5): 6 ppb
These are byproducts that can form when disinfectants react with naturally occurring organic matter in the water. The levels reported are within regulatory limits, but many homeowners still prefer to reduce them with filtration.
Does Bryan water contain PFAS or “forever chemicals”?
The PFAS compounds tested under UCMR5 were reported as not detected in Bryan’s water, thought there still may be trace amounts in any public water sources. Many homeowners still choose advanced filtration because PFAS monitoring continues to evolve and water quality priorities can change over time.
What other contaminants are found in Bryan water?
Bryan’s water quality testing detected several regulated and unregulated constituents, including:
- Barium: 0.111 ppm
- Chromium: 0.0133 ppm
- Fluoride: 0.62 ppm
- Nitrate: 0.05 ppm
- Selenium: 0.0078 ppm
- Gross alpha: less than 3 pCi/L
- Lithium: 22.8 ppb
- Sodium: 247 ppm
- Total dissolved solids: 680 ppm
Lead and copper testing also showed results below action levels, though it still appears in public water sources. That’s why many homeowners turn to RO systems.
Is lead a concern in Bryan water?
Bryan’s lead testing showed a 90th percentile level of 1.83 ppb, which is below the action level. Copper was reported at 0.207 ppm, also below the action level. Even with compliant results, some homeowners still prefer to add filtration for extra peace of mind.
Where does Bryan get its water?
Bryan’s drinking water comes from groundwater sources in the Simsboro Aquifer, located in Brazos County. Groundwater can carry different mineral and constituent profiles than surface water, which can affect taste, dissolved solids, and other water characteristics.
What is the pH and mineral content of Bryan water?
Bryan’s water is slightly alkaline, with a reported pH of 8.3. It also contains a noticeable mineral load, including 247 ppm sodium, 518 ppm total alkalinity, and 680 ppm dissolved solids, all of which can influence taste and overall water quality.
Should I use a water filter or softener in Bryan?
For many Bryan homeowners, a whole house water filter makes the most sense for improving taste and reducing chlorine and disinfection byproducts. A softener may not be as necessary here as in harder-water areas, but the right setup depends on your home’s water use, plumbing, and personal preferences. A free water test can help determine the best fit.
