Water 101
What's actually in Florida water?
Central Florida water is safe by EPA standards — but "safe" doesn't mean clean. Here's what a properly designed whole-house filtration system removes.
Chlorine & chloramine
Municipal disinfectants that give water a pool-like taste and dry out skin, hair, and clothes.
PFAS ('forever chemicals')
Persistent industrial chemicals increasingly detected in Florida groundwater. Linked to long-term health concerns.
Hardness (calcium & magnesium)
Causes scale on fixtures, shortens the life of water heaters, and leaves spots on dishes.
Iron & sulfur
Common in well water. Causes orange staining, metallic taste, and rotten-egg smell.
Sediment & turbidity
Sand, silt, and rust particles that clog appliances and cloud your water.
Lead & heavy metals
Leach from older plumbing. No safe level, especially for kids.
