Whether you're concerned about safety, taste, or protecting your appliances, we offer water quality services built around what Oklahoma City homeowners actually need.
Oklahoma City uses chloramine as a primary disinfectant, and the water averages about 154 parts per million of hardness. Those are just two of many factors that affect what comes out of your faucet. Our comprehensive testing covers heavy metals like lead and copper, disinfection byproducts, PFAS chemicals, hardness, pH, turbidity, chloramine residual, and microbiological indicators like coliform bacteria, while also helping identify issues tied to groundwater and ground water for homes outside or near the edges of public water systems. Public water systems are regulated differently than private well or other source water, which is why source-specific testing matters.
Who should get tested? New homeowners who want a baseline. Families with infants or anyone with health issues. People noticing odd taste, odor, or discoloration. Homeowners in older properties where lead solder or aging pipes could be a factor. And anyone who simply wants peace of mind about the water their family drinks every day.
After testing, we sit down with you and explain what we found, what it means for your health and home, and what your options are, including for homeowners comparing results with bottled water options but wanting to know what is actually coming from their own tap. No pressure, just clear information.
Once we know what's in your water, we recommend the right filter or treatment system based on your water quality data, not just citywide averages. Options include activated carbon filters for chloramine taste and odor, reverse osmosis systems for removing contaminants like PFAS and heavy metals, and UV disinfection for microbial concerns. The major goal is to match the treatment method to the contaminant profile found in the home. Every system we install is sized and configured for your home's specific water quality conditions.
For example, if testing shows elevated disinfection byproducts, a quality carbon filtration system can reduce those compounds at the point of use. High levels of disinfection byproducts are linked to increased cancer risk over time, so reducing exposure where you can is a smart move for your family's long-term health.
Oklahoma City's water is moderately hard at roughly 9 grains per gallon. That's enough to cause real problems. Scale buildup in your water heater, mineral deposits on showerheads and faucets, soap that won't lather properly, and shortened appliance lifespans are all common complaints we hear from homeowners across the metro. It can also leave buildup on fixtures used for cooking and food preparation.
A whole-house water softener uses ion exchange to remove calcium and magnesium before they reach your plumbing. The result is cleaner fixtures, better-performing appliances, softer skin and hair, and less money spent replacing things that wear out too soon.
Getting your water tested and treated is straightforward. Here's what to expect from first call to clean water.
Give us a call or book online. We'll set up a convenient time for one of our certified technicians to visit your home. During the initial consultation, we'll ask about any concerns you've noticed, whether that's taste, odor, discoloration, or appliance issues, and collect water samples right from your taps.
We send your water samples to certified labs for detailed analysis. Water quality testing includes measuring pH, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen along with screening for specific contaminants relevant to Oklahoma City's water. We test for things like chromium 6, arsenic, lead, copper, PFAS, and disinfection byproducts. Certified lab results can also be compared with applicable water quality standards and drinking water standards where relevant. Oklahoma City's tap water averaged 141 parts per trillion of chromium 6, and chromium 6 levels reached 391 parts per trillion in some measurements. Arsenic in Oklahoma City water averages 2 parts per billion. Lead levels in Oklahoma City tap water were below 0.62 parts per billion. Results can vary depending on where the sample is taken and whether the water comes from a municipal supply or a private groundwater source. Knowing your home's specific numbers, rather than relying solely on citywide averages, gives you a much clearer picture.
Once results come back, we walk you through everything in plain language and provide upfront pricing for any recommended treatment.
If treatment is needed, we handle professional installation, test the system to confirm it's performing correctly, and make sure you understand how it works. We also provide ongoing maintenance and support so your system keeps delivering clean, safe water for years to come.
We're not a national outfit reading off a script. We live here, we know the local water system, and we understand the specific challenges that come with Oklahoma City's source water and distribution system. That local knowledge makes a real difference when it comes to diagnosing and solving water problems.
We provide water quality testing and treatment services across the Oklahoma City metro, including:
The city ensures drinking water quality through continuous monitoring and treatment processes across all 17 communities served by the Oklahoma City water utilities system. But what happens between the water main and your faucet is your responsibility, and that's where we come in.
Testing costs depend on what you need checked. A basic water quality screening covers the most common concerns like hardness, chloramine, and lead. More comprehensive panels that include PFAS, disinfection byproducts, and a full heavy metals profile cost more but give you the most complete picture. We provide clear pricing before any work begins, and there are no hidden fees.
We can often schedule your assessment within a day or two. Basic results come back quickly, while specialized lab testing for things like PFAS or detailed chemical analysis may take a bit longer depending on the date range and lab workload. We keep you updated throughout the process and review all findings with you as soon as they're available.
Yes. Every system we install comes with a manufacturer warranty, and we back our installation work with our own guarantee. We also offer maintenance plans to keep filters changed, membranes replaced, and softeners serviced on schedule. A treatment system only works as well as it's maintained, and we make that easy.
Oklahoma City's drinking water had zero violations in 2025, and the city meets all Environmental Protection Agency EPA drinking water standards under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Oklahoma City tested over 200,000 water samples in 2025 to verify compliance. The city also monitors PFAS chemicals in its drinking water well ahead of federal requirements. That said, the Environmental Protection Agency regulates contaminants in public drinking water systems based on legal limits, and some of those limits are less strict than what independent health organizations recommend. For example, disinfection byproducts in Oklahoma City water are linked to cancer risks at levels that are technically legal but above more conservative public health guidelines. Your water depends on what happens in your home's plumbing too. Older pipes, fixtures, and service lines can introduce contaminants that don't show up in the city's testing. That's why point-of-use testing matters.
Residents have experienced aesthetic water discoloration in Oklahoma City. Discolored water in Oklahoma City is caused by naturally occurring iron and manganese that can be stirred up in the distribution system, especially after hydrant flushing, main breaks, changes in water pressure, shifts in source water, nearby streams, or river conditions. It's usually temporary and not a health risk. Persistent discoloration may signal harmful sediment or metals and should be tested. Residents may report water quality issues to Oklahoma City Utilities Customer Service, and you can also call us for same-day testing.
Your family's health and your home's plumbing are too important to leave to guesswork. Better water quality helps protect both human health and your home environment. Oklahoma City utilizes a multi-barrier treatment approach to improve water quality at the municipal level, but knowing what's happening at your tap is the only way to be sure. That broader treatment work also supports natural resources and overall environmental quality, even though what matters most in daily use is what comes out of your faucet. Whether you're dealing with hard water damage, chloramine taste, or concerns about contaminants, Comfort Wave has the local expertise and the right solutions to help.
Source-water conditions in lakes, river systems, and the surrounding habitat can influence water quality before treatment, with effects on fish habitat, aquatic life, wildlife, and the wider environment.
