Water & Grace is a faith-driven, veteran-owned filtration company based in Shreveport. We build custom systems that protect your family’s health at every water source in the home—drinking, bathing, cooking, and more.
We custom-build systems based on your city’s specific water quality. Our filters go
beyond taste—they remove disinfection byproducts (DBPs), heavy metals, chloramines,
and more. Every product is backed by third-party lab testing, and we handle all installation
and maintenance locally.
It means we operate with honesty, integrity, and a higher purpose. The entire vision for this company came during the second week of my annual Daniel fast—when I felt God calling me to serve others through clean water. Our mission is to protect families and bring peace of mind to every home we enter. And as a visible symbol of that commitment, we offer to install a garden size cross in each customer’s yard—by request—as a reminder that this is more than a service… it’s a calling.
Currently, we specialize in chloramine-treated municipal water in the Shreveport-Bossier
area. We do not yet offer well water systems but plan to in the future.
Not in the traditional sense. While whole-home filters treat 100% of household water, our
approach targets the water that directly affects your health. 70–80% of water that touches
the body is routed through the hot water heater—so our Hot Water Guard™ filters that
water before it’s ever heated. This lets us deliver premium filtration performance at just
25% of the cost of full whole-home installs, with better protection for your lungs, skin, and
health. When paired with The Waymaker™, our systems cover 90% of the water that
actually matters most—cooking, drinking, bathing, and cleaning—with the correct filter
media specifically engineered for chloraminated municipal water. And when combined
with our targeted add-on filters—like the Sink Shield™, Bathtub Guard™, and Garden
Shield™—you get precision filtration across 100% of the water you actually use. No waste.
No shortcuts. Just smart, strategic water protection at every key point of contact.
Definitely. Start with The Waymaker™ or Hot Water Guard™ and add-on filters like the
Bathtub Guard™, Sink Shield™, or Fabric Shield™ as you go. Our modular approach means
you can expand your system as your needs or budget grow—without replacing anything.
It’s the most flexible, future-proof water protection model available.
The Waymaker™ starts at $499 for a basic install, and the Hot Water Guard™ starts at $599
for basic install. Prices can range a couple hundred dollars depending on installation
complexity. Add-on filters range from $50–$199. Financing options are available starting as
low as $35–$50/month, making this one of the most affordable high-performance water
protection packages available.
Yes! While it’s designed as the final stage of The Waymaker™, it can be added to any standard 10” x 2” inline RO system using the appropriate fittings.
Our flagship 10-stage RO system removes over 99.9% of contaminants and includes the
Spring Core™ remineralization filter to add back healthy minerals. It delivers bottled-quality
water at every faucet it’s installed to.
A cold-line filtration system for your water heater. It removes chloramines, DBPs, and
heavy metals before water is heated—protecting your lungs, skin, and the heater itself.
Comes with a free Shower Shield™
Only The Waymaker™ and The Hot Water Guard™ are stand-alone systems. All others (Sink
Shield™, Garden Shield™, Bathtub Guard™, Fabric Shield™, etc.) are modular add-ons
designed for complete coverage.
Yes—The Waymaker™ uses a certified RO membrane and catalytic carbon stages, which
are among the only technologies proven to remove PFAS effectively.
We use CX-MCA catalytic carbon, KDF-55, KDF-85, Eco-Safe coral calcium, tourmaline,
calcite, magnesium oxide, and more—each selected for a specific purpose. All media is
NSF-certified and safe for daily use.
Pitcher filters and most fridge filters use basic granular carbon, which removes chlorine
taste but not chloramines, DBPs, PFAS, pharmaceuticals, or heavy metals. Our systems
use catalytic carbon, KDF redox media, and RO membranes—proven technologies for real
chemical removal.
Bottled water costs over $500/year on average, often comes from filtered tap water, and
may contain microplastics or be stored in heat-exposed plastic. Our systems provide
cleaner, fresher water directly from your tap—for pennies per gallon and zero waste.
Even legally compliant water can contain up to 100+ contaminants, many of which are
linked to cancer, hormonal disruption, or developmental issues. Our lab testing found over
30 contaminants above health guidelines in Shreveport and Bossier. Filtering is no longer a
luxury—it’s protection.
Yes—instantly. Shower water feels smoother. Drinking water tastes crisper. Dishes come
out cleaner. Even your pets and plants will prefer it. Most customers say they’ll never go
back.
Instead of filtering water you flush down the toilet, we target the water that touches your
body—showers, dishes, laundry, and drinking. This smart-point filtration model gives
better protection at one-quarter the cost of a whole-home system.
Yes. We have third-party lab test results available through Tap Score™:
• Test 1: The Waymaker™ RO Filters 1-6
• Test 2: The Waymaker™ RO Filters 1-7
• Test 3: The Waymaker™ RO Filters 1-8 with Spring Core™ mineral blend
Absolutely. As a veteran-owned company, we proudly offer special pricing for fellow
veterans and senior citizens. Ask us about our current offers during your consultation.
We offer two different RO tank sizes to accommodate homes with limited space. Most
installations fit easily under standard kitchen sinks. We’ll evaluate your layout during
consultation to ensure a perfect fit.
Most installs take about 3 hours. We handle everything—no subcontractors, no surprises.
My name is Matt Gammel. I’ve called Shreveport home for over 25 years, and I’m proud to serve the community I live in. I’m not just another business owner—I’m your neighbor.
Water & Grace isn’t just a business—it’s a calling that began during my annual Daniel fast, when I felt the Lord leading me to build something that would truly serve and protect others. In that time of prayer, God revealed that water was the way—clean, safe water could be my way of making a real difference in people’s lives, right here at home.
Water & Grace exists to honor God, deliver truth, and protect families. When we serve your home, we do it with honesty, integrity, and care.
