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

Environmental Working Group (EWG) has identified contaminants in Pasadena’s water supply that exceed their health guidelines, including substances like arsenic and bromodichloromethane. It’s important to note that EWG’s standards are often more stringent than federal regulations. Additionally, a recent report highlighted that nearly 50 Texas public water systems have reported exceeding the new EPA limits for certain PFAS chemicals, though specific data for Pasadena was not detailed.

The most recent Pasadena Water Quality Report showed an average hardness of 12.9 grains per gallon, which is considered very hard.

Recent sampling conducted at Pasadena’s water treatment plants detected the presence of PFAS chemicals. The EPA is in the process of setting new MCL (maximum contaminant levels), which range from 4 to 10 parts per trillion. In numbers, that would be 0.00000000004 for PFOA and PFOS, individually to 0.0000000001 for PFNA, PFHxS, and HFPO-DA (GenX Chemicals). As you can see in the water quality report, many samples do not meet these standards. Click here to learn more about our whole house PFAS filtration systems.

Yes, Pasadena adds fluoride to its water supply to help prevent tooth decay. According to the City of Pasadena Public Works Website, “MWD’s water naturally has 0.1 to 0.4 parts per million (ppm) of fluoride, and is fortified to a final concentration of 0.6 to 0.9 ppm. Pasadena’s groundwater has natural fluoride levels of 0.3 to 1.4 ppm, so the resulting concentration is typically around 0.8 ppm in our community drinking water.”

Pasadena, Texas, sources its water from a combination of surface water and groundwater. The city purchases treated surface water from the City of Houston, which primarily comes from Lake Livingston, Lake Houston, and the Trinity River. Additionally, Pasadena utilizes groundwater from a network of local wells located within the city.

Pasadena, Texas water contains levels of nitrates, radium and other radioactive contamination, as well as HAA5, TTHMs and other disinfectant byproducts from chlorine or chloramine treatment. While none of these are typically above the EPA maximum contaminant level, they could be harmful.
