Water Filters & Filtration in Lakeway, TX
Lake Travis is beautiful. Your tap water should be too.
Lakeway homeowners have a unique relationship with their water. Whether your home draws from the city supply or a private well near the lake, the water coming out of your taps often carries minerals, sediment, and other contaminants that affect how it tastes, smells, and feels. Cold is on the Right installs and services whole-home and point-of-use filtration systems designed specifically for what Lakeway water delivers. We help families here get water they can actually trust, not just tolerate.

About Our Water Filters & Filtration in Lakeway
Lakeway sits right on the edge of Lake Travis, and that proximity shapes just about everything, including water quality. Homes built in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s along the lake often have older supply lines that can introduce sediment and metallic taste into otherwise treated municipal water. Newer builds out toward Lakeway's growing edges tend to rely on water that travels through long distribution lines, picking up hardness minerals along the way. Either way, the water reaching your faucet often needs more than what the utility provides.
Cold is on the Right has been working with Lakeway homeowners long enough to understand what filtration actually solves here versus what it doesn't. We don't oversell systems you don't need. We assess your water, listen to your concerns, and recommend filtration that fits your home and your budget. Whether you want a whole-home sediment filter, a reverse osmosis system under the kitchen sink, or a combination approach, we install it right and back it up for the long haul.

Water Filtration Services We Provide in Lakeway
Whole-Home Water Filtration Systems
A whole-home filter installs at your main water line and treats every drop that enters your house, from the shower to the ice maker. For Lakeway homes with older copper or galvanized pipes, this is especially valuable because it catches sediment before it reaches fixtures and appliances. We size and install systems that actually match your flow rate so you never notice a pressure drop.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems
Reverse osmosis is the gold standard for drinking water, removing dissolved solids, chlorine byproducts, and trace contaminants that whole-home filters may leave behind. We install under-sink RO units that fit neatly into Lakeway kitchen cabinets and provide clean, great-tasting water right at your tap. RO is a popular upgrade for families who've been buying bottled water and want a smarter long-term solution.
Sediment Filters
Sediment filters are often the first line of defense, capturing sand, silt, rust, and particulates before they reach your plumbing fixtures or downstream filtration equipment. Lakeway homes with older supply lines or homes near construction zones benefit significantly from a quality sediment pre-filter. We install and replace cartridge-style and backwashing sediment filters depending on what your water demands.
Carbon Filtration Systems
Carbon filters are highly effective at removing chlorine, chloramines, and the musty or chemical tastes and odors that can show up in treated municipal water. Lakeway's warm, humid environment can amplify those odors, especially in homes where water sits in lines during the heat of summer. Activated carbon systems, installed whole-home or at the point of use, make a noticeable difference quickly.
Water Filtration System Maintenance
Even the best filtration system stops working if the filters aren't changed on schedule. We offer filter replacement and maintenance service for all major brands, so you never have to wonder whether your system is still doing its job. For Lakeway homeowners who want one less thing to track, we can set up a maintenance schedule that keeps everything running without any effort on your end.
Well Water Filtration
Some properties on the outskirts of Lakeway and near Spicewood still rely on private wells, which can carry iron, sulfur, bacteria, and other contaminants that city water treatment doesn't address. We test well water and design multi-stage filtration systems tailored to what's actually in your supply. Getting well water right requires more than a generic filter, and we take the time to do it properly.
UV Purification Systems
UV purification uses ultraviolet light to neutralize bacteria, viruses, and other biological contaminants without adding chemicals to your water. It's a smart add-on for well water users and for Lakeway homeowners who want an extra layer of protection after heavy rains or flooding events near the lake. We install UV systems as standalone units or integrate them into an existing multi-stage filtration setup.
Water Testing and Quality Assessment
Before recommending any filtration equipment, we test your water to understand what's actually in it. Lakeway water can vary meaningfully depending on whether you're on city supply, a well, or a private water system, and guessing wrong leads to buying equipment you don't need. We provide straightforward, easy-to-understand results and honest recommendations based on what the testing reveals.
Water Softener Integration
Filtration and softening work best together, but they serve different purposes. We often recommend pairing a whole-home filter with a water softener to address both hardness minerals and sediment or chemical concerns simultaneously. Our team can design a combined system that handles both in a single, space-efficient setup.
Filtration System Upgrades and Replacements
If you have an older filtration system that's underperforming or no longer fits your household's needs, we can upgrade or replace it with modern equipment that's more efficient and easier to maintain. Many Lakeway homes have systems that were installed years ago and simply aren't keeping up anymore. We assess what you have, explain your options honestly, and handle the full installation.
Filtration for Water Heaters and Appliances
Unfiltered water loaded with sediment and minerals is one of the leading causes of premature water heater failure and appliance wear. Installing a pre-filter or softener upstream of your water heater protects the tank and heating elements from buildup that cuts efficiency and shortens lifespan. This is especially relevant in Lakeway, where hard water is common and water heater replacements happen more often than they should. Learn More

We Know Lakeway Homes
Lakeway's housing stock is a real mix. You've got established neighborhoods where homes were built in the 1970s and 80s, complete with galvanized steel pipes that are well past their prime and fixtures that have seen decades of hard Hill Country water. Then you've got newer sections closer to the 620 corridor where builders used modern materials but the water quality challenges are just as real. The lake proximity that makes Lakeway such a desirable place to live also means elevated humidity year-round, which affects how homes age and how water systems perform inside them.
When you've been working in a community as long as we have, you stop guessing and start recognizing patterns. We know which older Lakeway neighborhoods tend to have sediment issues from aging supply lines. We know that well water out toward Spicewood often carries iron and sulfur that needs a specific treatment approach. And we know that Lakeway homeowners aren't looking for a one-size-fits-all answer. This community has always valued relationships over transactions, and that's exactly how we operate too.

High Fives from Austin Homeowners
Graysen and Andrew from Cold is on the Right came out just a couple hours after I called and took care of cutting out my kitchen faucet. They were professional, friendly, and clearly knowledgeable, explaining everything in a straightforward way without any upselling or confusion. It was refreshing to get honest answers and excellent service so quickly. I’ll definitely be using them again for future plumbing needs.
Services: Faucet repair
Price assessment: Reasonable price
We contacted Cold is on the Right today with an urgent plumbing need. Their very professional and organized crew arrived within 30 minutes and fixed our issue. We called five other plumbing companies before them and no one was able to help us. Cold is on the Right will now be the first plumbers we call.
Services: Drain cleaning
We called due to slow drainage and apparently main line backing up into master bathroom shower and sink. There is an automated line that takes your information and apparently works very well. Plumbers Billy and Jeremy showed up promptly after we were informed they were being dispatched this morning, they stayed and worked until the problem was solved and advised on possible future repairs that would need to be done. They were professional, smart, respectful of our home, and efficient in their actions. Let us know what things would cost and were honest in their assessment of what would be needed next and how (un) likely our homeowners insurance would be able to help. I appreciate the service and the fair treatment by these gentlemen. Thank you.
Santiago and Kyle were amazing during our total HVAC system replacement. Kind, informative, knowledgeable and careful to ensure a smooth install. They were efficient and got my AC working before my family arrived for spring break. Now enjoying the cool air with family. Great pricing and quick turn around from quote to finished job. Thank you! 10/10 would recommend them to anyone needing HVCA or plumbing work.
These guys are prompt and very polite, and explain your options well without trying to upsell. We thought we needed three things replaced, but they showed us that one of the three just needed an adjustment rather than a replacement. Wonderful service!
