Water Filtration in Melissa, TX
Catalytic media rated for chloramine, not just chlorine. This page covers it for homes in Melissa, on the supply the city actually runs.
What filtration has to handle in Melissa.
The media has to match the disinfectant, and here that is chloramine. Ordinary carbon barely touches it at household flow rates, which is the usual reason people fit a filter and decide filtration does not work. Catalytic carbon is the specification that does the job, and the bed has to be sized to your peak flow so the water is in contact with it long enough.
One thing specific to this city, melissa doesn’t sit on one supply. The city buys from two different district plants that draw from different lakes, and it runs its own Woodbine Aquifer well on top of that.

Asked locally.
Do I need whole house filtration in Melissa?
The media has to match the disinfectant, and here that is chloramine. Ordinary carbon barely touches it at household flow rates, which is the usual reason people fit a filter and decide filtration does not work. A free test at your tap settles it before anything is sized.
What does the install involve?
A free quote first, then one price for the whole job. Most whole house work is a half day with the water off for two to three hours. An under sink membrane station is usually two hours or less.
Who supplies Melissa water?
City of Melissa. Groundwater from the Woodbine Aquifer.
Do you service what you install?
Yes, and we service systems we did not install too. Salt and filter intervals go on a schedule so the same fault does not come back next year, and diagnosis always comes before parts.
