Pilot Point, Texas's Home for Water Softeners, Water Filters,
& Water Delivery

Yes. Pilot Point’s tap water is treated to meet drinking water requirements, but trace contaminants, minerals, metals, 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.

Pilot Point provides groundwater from the Trinity Aquifer in Denton County. Groundwater can pick up naturally occurring minerals, metals, and other substances as it moves through soil and rock. That makes in-home water testing helpful for homeowners who want to know what is actually coming from their tap.

The disinfectant residual table shown for Pilot Point did not include specific chlorine or chloramine levels. However, public water systems commonly use disinfectants to help control microbes in the water system. If you notice a chemical taste or smell at the tap, a properly selected carbon filtration system can help improve taste and odor throughout the home.

Yes. Pilot Point testing reported Haloacetic Acids (HAA5) at 1 ppb and Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM) at 16 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 contaminants in Pilot Point water, including barium at 0.023 ppm, chromium at 8 ppb, fluoride at 0.196 ppm, nitrate at 0.0512 ppm, combined radium 226/228 at 1.5 pCi/L, lead at a 90th percentile level of 1.2 ppb, and copper at a 90th percentile level of 0.14 ppm. These results show why in-home water treatment can still be valuable for homeowners who want more control over their drinking water.

Lead was reported at a 90th percentile level of 1.2 ppb, and copper was reported at a 90th percentile level of 0.14 ppm. The information provided also listed 1 site over the action level for lead. Lead and copper can enter water through household plumbing, fixtures, and service lines, especially in older homes, which is why testing at the tap can be helpful.

Yes. Pilot Point reported chromium at 8 ppb. Chromium can occur naturally or come from erosion and industrial-related sources. Homeowners who want added protection for drinking water may want to consider a reverse osmosis system or another filtration option designed for trace metals.

Yes. Pilot Point reported combined radium 226/228 at 1.5 pCi/L. Radioactive contaminants can occur naturally in some groundwater sources. A local water test can help homeowners better understand what is present at the tap and whether a drinking water filtration system is the right fit.

Pilot Point reported nitrate, measured as nitrogen, at 0.0512 ppm. Nitrate is a contaminant many homeowners pay attention to, especially households with infants, young children, or anyone with specific health concerns. A reverse osmosis drinking water system can help reduce many dissolved contaminants at the tap.

PFAS test results were not listed in the Pilot Point 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.

Hardness levels were not listed in the Pilot Point water quality information provided. However, groundwater can often contain minerals that affect how water feels and performs in the home. If you notice spots on dishes, buildup around fixtures, dry-feeling skin, or soap that does not lather well, a local water test can show whether a water softener would be helpful.

Many Pilot Point homeowners can benefit from a water filter, especially if they want to reduce trace metals, radium, nitrate, disinfection byproducts, or concerns 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.
