About Our Water Filters & Filtration in Spicewood
Out in Spicewood, municipal water isn't even an option for most homeowners. Your water comes from a private well drilled into Hill Country limestone, and that means it's your responsibility to treat it right. Untreated well water can carry iron, sulfur, hardness minerals, sediment, nitrates, and in some cases bacteria — none of which a standard pitcher filter is going to touch. Cold is on the Right tests what's actually in your water and recommends a filtration solution that fits both your water chemistry and your household's needs.
We've worked on acreage properties all across the Spicewood area — properties with long supply lines, pressure tanks, aging well casings, and everything in between. We know that getting it right the first time matters more out here, where calling a second company to fix the first one's mistakes means another long wait and another long drive out. We show up prepared, we install it correctly, and we make sure you understand exactly what your system is doing and why.

Water Filtration Services We Provide in Spicewood
Well Water Testing
Before recommending any filtration system, we test your well water to find out exactly what's in it. Spicewood well water commonly contains elevated iron, hardness minerals, hydrogen sulfide, and sometimes coliform bacteria depending on well age and casing condition. Testing takes the guesswork out and makes sure your filtration system actually addresses your specific water chemistry.
Whole-Home Water Filtration Systems
A whole-home system treats all the water entering your house before it reaches any fixture, appliance, or drinking tap. For Spicewood properties on well water, this is usually the smartest approach since sediment and minerals can damage water heaters, dishwashers, and plumbing fittings over time. We size and install systems based on your actual water test results and household usage.
Sediment Filters
Well water in Hill Country limestone formations frequently carries fine sediment and grit that wears on fixtures and clogs aerators. Sediment pre-filters are often the first stage of any multi-filter setup and they do a lot of work protecting everything downstream. We install and service cartridge and backwashing sediment filters sized for your flow rate and sediment load.
Iron & Sulfur Filtration
Rotten egg odor and orange staining on sinks, tubs, and laundry are telltale signs of hydrogen sulfide and iron in your well water — both very common in the Spicewood area. These contaminants require oxidizing filters or air injection systems, not just a basic carbon filter. We install the right type of iron and sulfur treatment for your concentration levels so the smell and staining actually go away.
Reverse Osmosis Systems
For drinking and cooking water, a reverse osmosis system installed at the kitchen sink gives you the cleanest water possible by removing dissolved solids, nitrates, heavy metals, and other contaminants that whole-home filters may not fully address. RO systems are especially popular in Spicewood where well water hardness and mineral content are high. We install under-sink RO units with storage tanks so you always have clean drinking water on demand.
UV Disinfection Systems
Bacteria and other biological contaminants are a real concern in private wells, particularly after heavy rains when surface water can infiltrate aging well casings common on older Spicewood properties. UV disinfection systems neutralize bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms without adding chemicals to your water. They're often installed as a final stage alongside sediment and carbon filtration for comprehensive protection.
Carbon & Activated Carbon Filters
Carbon filtration removes chlorine, chloramines, volatile organic compounds, and improves taste and odor — useful even on well water where organic compounds and tannins can cause earthy or musty flavors. We install both whole-home carbon filters and point-of-use carbon stages as part of multi-stage systems. Regular cartridge replacement keeps these filters performing at their best.
Water Softeners
Hard water is a fixture of life on Hill Country well water, and the calcium and magnesium load in Spicewood water is high enough to scale up water heaters and pipes faster than most homeowners realize. A water softener paired with your filtration system protects your plumbing investment and makes a noticeable difference in how your skin, hair, and appliances feel and function. We install and service softeners sized for your household and your water hardness level.
Filter System Maintenance & Cartridge Replacement
Even the best filtration system stops working properly when filters go too long without service. We handle cartridge replacement, media replenishment, and system inspections to keep your filtration running at full capacity. For Spicewood homeowners on well water, staying on top of filter maintenance is the difference between protected water and a system that's just taking up space.
Water Heater Protection & Filtration Integration
Unfiltered well water loaded with minerals and sediment is one of the leading causes of premature water heater failure in Spicewood homes. Integrating filtration and softening upstream of your water heater significantly extends its lifespan and maintains efficiency. We coordinate filtration installs with your existing water heater setup to make sure everything works together properly.
Filtration System Repairs & Troubleshooting
If your existing filtration system has stopped performing, is leaking, or is causing low water pressure, we can diagnose and repair it regardless of brand or configuration. Well water filtration problems don't fix themselves and often get worse, so getting a plumber out quickly matters. We carry common parts and can troubleshoot multi-stage systems efficiently to get your water quality back on track.

We Know Spicewood Homes
Spicewood is mostly acreage — cedar and oak country with long driveways, detached well houses, pressure tanks out back, and homes that range from decades-old ranch builds to newer custom construction. The older properties often have original well casings, aging galvanized or polybutylene supply lines, and filtration setups that were installed once and never touched again. We know what to look for on these properties because we've been out to enough of them to recognize the patterns.
The Hill Country geology here pushes a lot of hardness, iron, and hydrogen sulfide into private wells, and it varies enough from one side of a property to the next that we don't assume anything before testing. Being remote means Spicewood homeowners can't afford to have work done twice, and that's a standard we hold ourselves to every time we pull into one of these long gravel driveways. We treat your property and your water system with the same care we'd want for our own.

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!
