Most Texas homeowners don't think about their water until something's obviously wrong. Here are the signs you shouldn't ignore:

1. White buildup on faucets and showerheads

That's calcium and magnesium — aka hard water. Texas groundwater is some of the hardest in the country. It's eating your plumbing, your water heater, and your skin.

2. Your water smells like eggs or chlorine

Sulfur smell = hydrogen sulfide, usually from well water. Chlorine smell = your city's water treatment is working overtime. Both are fixable.

3. You just bought a house and have no idea what's in your water

Most home inspections don't test water quality. If you're on well water especially, you could be drinking iron, manganese, or worse without knowing it.

The fix isn't always a $5,000 whole-house system. Sometimes it's a $300 under-sink RO unit. The key is knowing what you're dealing with first.
