What is in the water

Our water filtration coverage in New Mexico runs to 72 ZIP codes in 19 cities. Large municipalities buy and treat water at scale and publish an annual quality report for the whole system, so what arrives at the tap is well documented — and the variation that is left is mostly in the pipework between the main and the tap.

We route water filtration calls in 72 ZIP codes across 19 New Mexico cities, in 6 counties.

What this site is

ClearTapCall is a referral service, not a contractor and not a laboratory. We connect homeowners with independent contractors for filtration and treatment installation. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands, and treatment equipment plumbed into a supply is often a permitted alteration — ask to see the permit. We carry out no work, we sell no equipment, we test no water, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything. Nothing here is a statement about the water at any address, and no page recommends a product.

Checking a credential in New Mexico

What that coverage looks like

How a water filtration job goes

Filtration is chosen from a test result, not from a taste. Hardness, iron, sediment and chlorine each call for different equipment, and a cartridge sized for one does nothing for the others. The order is always the same: find out what is in the water, then decide what has to come out of it, then size the equipment for how much water the house actually uses.

What the call asks about water filtration

Whether the supply is a public system or a private well, because the testing route is different.
What the water is actually doing — staining, scale, smell, taste, cloudiness.
Whether there is a test result already, from the annual report or from a lab.

Every New Mexico city we route in

8 cities, ordered by the share of housing built since 2000. Plumbing age decides what the water picks up between the main and the tap. Each page carries that city’s own numbers and the ZIP codes we route there.

Before you call

Filtration starts with knowing what is actually in the supply. The pages above set out which test result points at which kind of equipment.
