When snow arrives late — as it has this fall — it shortens the melt season and changes how water flows through our watersheds. Reduced or inconsistent snowmelt can increase concentrations of calcium, magnesium, and other minerals, leading to harder water and higher Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels.
Municipal water treatment systems adjust for these fluctuations, but seasonal shifts still affect the water that reaches your tap. You might notice subtle changes in taste, increased spotting on dishes, or buildup on faucets and fixtures. These are all signs that your home’s water could benefit from better filtration and softening.

Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Install Water Filtration
Late snow and shifting weather patterns make now an ideal time to improve your home’s water quality before winter sets in. Here’s why:
Protect Your Appliances: Harder water can damage plumbing, water heaters, and dishwashers. Installing a Brita PRO Water Softener prevents scale buildup and extends the life of your appliances.
Improve Taste and Odor: As reservoirs adjust to lower inflows, chlorine and mineral variations can affect water taste. A Whole-House Water Filter removes sediment, chlorine, and odor for fresh, clean water from every tap.
Get the Purest Drinking Water: A Reverse Osmosis System delivers bottle-quality water directly from your sink — perfect for drinking, coffee, and cooking all winter long.
Stay Ahead of Seasonal Shifts: Colorado’s water changes with the climate, but your home can stay consistent. Installing filtration before peak winter ensures you’re protected no matter what happens with the snowpack.
If you’ve been considering a filtration upgrade, this is the season to act. Late snow years can stress the water supply and increase mineral content — but with Aqua Serve’s custom filtration systems, you can enjoy cleaner, softer, and better-tasting water all year long.
