Militia Aqua Refresh: Water Treatment, Softening and Filtration in Houston

They solve different problems, and most Houston houses want both. A softener removes the calcium and magnesium that scale your water heater and leave spots on your glassware. A carbon filter removes chloramine, which makes the shower smell like a pool.

Yes, when it is sized correctly. Houston disinfects with chloramine, which is harder to strip than plain chlorine and needs carbon media with enough contact time to work. An under-sink cartridge does nothing for the shower, where most homeowners first notice the smell.

Well water arrives untreated, so iron and sulfur come out first. Running raw well water straight into a softener fouls the resin and defeats the tank's purpose. We look at what your well is producing before recommending any stage.

For drinking and cooking water, usually yes. Carbon filtration and softening treat the whole house, but they pass dissolved solids that a reverse osmosis membrane holds back. The reverse osmosis system installs under the kitchen sink on its own faucet, and a remineralization stage puts balanced alkaline water on that tap.

We do. Militia Protection has served Houston neighborhoods since 2019 with home security and alarm work, and our water division uses the same crews from the same company. The technicians who put the system in are the ones you call when it needs attention.
