Austin’s Water—It’s More Than Just “Live Music and Taco Trucks”
You love Austin for its music scene, the tacos, the parks, and of course, the endless sunshine. But there’s one thing you might not love: the quality of your tap water. Behind the hip coffee shops and vibrant live music, Austin’s water supply has a little secret: it’s hard. And not in the “cool, edgy” way you want—more in the “calcium and magnesium causing problems” way you don’t.
Sure, Austin might seem like a laid-back city, but its water quality is nothing to take lightly. From clogged pipes to skin irritation, hard water can sneak up on you and cause all sorts of issues. But don't worry—Dupure has your back. Let’s take a closer look at what’s really in your water and how we can help you fix it.
What Makes Austin’s Water So Hard?
Austin’s water is classified as hard water, which means it contains high levels of dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium. These minerals might seem innocent enough, but they’re the uninvited guests at your water party, causing more harm than good.
Here’s what hard water is doing to your home (and your skin):
-
Mineral buildup: Those white streaks around your faucets and showerheads? That’s calcium and magnesium causing limescale to build up on your pipes and appliances. This makes everything look dingy and can shorten the life of your water heater, dishwasher, and washing machine.
-
Clogged pipes: Over time, the minerals in hard water can cause a buildup inside your pipes, leading to reduced water pressure and eventually blockages.
-
Dry, irritated skin and hair: If your skin feels dry after a shower, or your hair’s been looking like it needs a little TLC, it could be because of the minerals in Austin’s water. Hard water strips away moisture, leaving your skin feeling parched and your hair brittle.
-
Soap scum: Hard water doesn’t play nice with soap, making it harder to rinse away completely. This leads to soap scum, which is not only annoying to clean but also leaves your dishes and surfaces looking streaky and dull.
In short? Austin’s water is hard on your home, your body, and your appliances.
Why Austin Needs Dupure Water Solutions
Luckily, there's hope! Dupure’s water solutions are designed to take the hassle out of Austin’s tough water. We offer a range of options to soften and filter your water, so you can stop worrying about limescale and dry skin and start enjoying cleaner, fresher water throughout your home.
1. Whole-House Water Softener: The Ultimate Solution for Hard Water
When you’re ready to take action against Austin’s hard water, a whole-house water softener is your best bet. It works by removing the calcium and magnesium from your water, leaving you with softer, cleaner water that’s easier on your pipes, appliances, and skin.
Why you’ll love it:
-
Longer-lasting appliances: Soft water means less mineral buildup inside your appliances, extending their lifespan and keeping them running smoothly.
-
Softer skin and hair: No more dry skin after your shower or frizzy hair that needs constant styling. Soft water is gentler on your skin and hair.
-
Cleaner everything: Your clothes, dishes, and surfaces will be cleaner and shinier, with no more soap scum or water spots to deal with.
2. Reverse Osmosis (RO) System: The Clean Water You’ve Been Looking For
When it comes to drinking water, Austin’s tap water leaves much to be desired. But with Dupure’s reverse osmosis (RO) systems, you can get clean, filtered water right from your tap. Reverse osmosis is a multi-stage filtration process that removes up to 99% of contaminants from your water, including chlorine, lead, and other harmful substances.
Why you’ll love it:
-
Fresh, clean taste: Say goodbye to the weird taste and smell of chlorine in your tap water. Reverse osmosis removes those pesky chemicals and leaves you with fresh-tasting water.
-
Filtered for safety: RO systems filter out heavy metals, bacteria, and other contaminants, ensuring you’re drinking water that’s safe for you and your family.
-
Convenience: You don’t have to worry about buying bottled water anymore. With an RO system, you have access to high-quality drinking water anytime you need it.
3. Under-Sink Filtration: Compact, Powerful, and Convenient
If you don’t need to soften all of your water, but you still want cleaner drinking water, Dupure’s under-sink filtration systems are a great solution. They’re compact, easy to install, and provide clean water right at your kitchen sink.
Why you’ll love it:
- Easy installation: Under-sink filtration is simple to install and takes up minimal space.
- High-quality drinking water: Just like the RO system, our other under-sink filtration systems remove impurities from your water, leaving you with safe, clean water to drink, cook with, and use in your coffee maker.
- Space-saving: If you don’t have the room for a whole-house system, this is the perfect solution for your kitchen.
