Aubrey, Texas's Home for Water Softeners, Water Filters,
& Water Delivery

Aubrey’s tap water is treated to meet drinking water requirements, but trace contaminants, chlorine, metals, sodium, dissolved solids, and treatment-related byproducts can still be present. That is one reason many homeowners choose water filtration for better taste, added confidence, and extra protection at the tap.

Aubrey provides groundwater from the Trinity Aquifer in Denton County. During a water emergency or extreme shortage, the city can also receive surface water from the Upper Trinity Regional Water District through a Mustang Water Supply line. Groundwater can pick up naturally occurring minerals and metals, while surface water can be affected by runoff, organic material, and seasonal changes.

Aubrey reported chlorine as its disinfectant residual, with an average level of 1.97 ppm and a detected range of 0.59 to 4.0 ppm. Chlorine helps control microbes in the water system, but it can also create a chemical taste or smell. A properly selected carbon filtration system can help reduce chlorine taste and odor throughout the home.

Yes. Aubrey testing reported Haloacetic Acids (HAA5) at 2 ppb and Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM) at 1 ppb. These byproducts can form when disinfectants react with organic material in the water. Many homeowners choose whole-house carbon filtration to help reduce unwanted tastes, odors, and treatment-related byproducts before water reaches the tap.

Testing detected several regulated and monitored contaminants in Aubrey water, including barium at 0.017 ppm, chromium at 0.0017 ppm, cyanide at 21.5 ppb, fluoride at 0.653 ppm, nitrate at 0.0559 ppm, copper at a 90th percentile level of 0.0841 ppm, and lead at a 90th percentile level of 0 ppb. These results show why in-home water treatment can still be valuable for homeowners who want more control over their drinking water.

Copper was reported at a 90th percentile level of 0.0841 ppm, and lead was reported at a 90th percentile level of 0 ppb. The report also listed 1 site over the action level for lead. Lead and copper can enter water through household plumbing, fixtures, and service lines, so testing at the tap can be helpful, especially in homes with older plumbing.

Yes. Aubrey reported cyanide at 21.5 ppb. Cyanide is not something most homeowners expect to see in a water quality report, so it may be worth discussing during a local water test. A reverse osmosis drinking water system can help reduce many dissolved contaminants used for drinking, cooking, coffee, and ice.

Yes. Aubrey reported sodium at 219 ppm. Sodium can affect the taste of drinking water and may matter for households watching sodium intake. A reverse osmosis system can help reduce sodium and other dissolved substances at the tap.

Aubrey reported total dissolved solids at 500 ppm, total alkalinity as CaCO3 at an average level of 298.5 ppm, sulfate at 126 ppm, chloride at 16.3 ppm, calcium at 1.54 ppm, and iron at 0.05 ppm. Dissolved solids and minerals can affect taste, clarity, and how water performs in the home. A water test can help determine whether a whole-house filter, reverse osmosis system, or combination system is the right fit.

Aubrey reported total hardness as CaCO3 at 5 ppm, which is low compared to many North Texas water supplies. That means a water softener may not be the main need for every home. However, a local water test can still help determine whether your home would benefit more from filtration, reverse osmosis, or another treatment option.

Aubrey’s water quality information listed 0 total coliform positives and 0 fecal coliform or E. coli positives. Even when routine microbiological testing does not show an issue, many homeowners still choose filtration for added peace of mind, especially for drinking water, cooking, and ice.

PFAS test results were not listed in the Aubrey water quality information provided. That does not mean homeowners are not concerned about PFAS. Testing requirements and water quality priorities can change, and many families choose advanced filtration, such as reverse osmosis, for added protection against a wider range of potential contaminants.

Many Aubrey homeowners can benefit from a water filter, especially if they want to reduce chlorine taste, sodium, dissolved solids, cyanide, lead concerns, or issues tied to household plumbing. A local water test can help determine whether a whole-house filter, reverse osmosis system, water softener, or combination system makes the most sense for your home.
