Water Filtration Systems & Reverse Osmosis in Florida

FAQ

• Is the water test really free? Yes - no cost, no commitment, no sales pressure.

• Who is this for? Florida homeowners on city or well water.

• How long does a test take? Typically 30–60 minutes at your home.

• What happens after the test? You'll receive expert guidance on your options - there is no obligation to purchase anything.

• What contaminants are common in Florida well water?
  Florida well water can contain naturally occurring or environmental contaminants such as sulfur, iron, tannins, bacteria, manganese, sediment and pH imbalance. Some areas may also have concerns around PFAS or other chemicals depending on local land use, nearby industry, agriculture or historic contamination. The only way to know what is affecting your home’s water is to test it.

• How much does a reverse osmosis system cost in Florida?
  The cost of a reverse osmosis system in Florida depends on the type of system, installation requirements and whether you need an under-sink drinking water system or a larger whole-home solution. Many professionally installed systems can range from hundreds to several thousand dollars. Florida Water Analysis starts with a free water test so homeowners can choose the right system before buying.

• What is the difference between a water softener and a water conditioner?
  A water softener typically uses ion exchange to reduce hardness minerals such as calcium and magnesium, helping with scale, spots and appliance buildup. A water conditioner may treat water differently, often without salt, and is designed to alter how minerals behave rather than remove them in the same way. The right choice depends on your water test results and household needs.

• Does Florida tap water have PFAS?
  PFAS have been found in drinking water systems across the United States, including some areas of Florida. Levels vary by location and water source. Public water systems are required to monitor certain PFAS under federal drinking water rules, but homeowners may still want additional testing or filtration if they are concerned about drinking water quality.

• How often should a reverse osmosis membrane be replaced?
  Most reverse osmosis membranes are replaced every 2 to 5 years, depending on water quality, household usage and system maintenance. Pre-filters and carbon filters usually need changing more often. If water flow decreases, taste changes or the system has not been serviced recently, it may be time to check the filters and membrane.

• What counties does Florida Water Analysis serve?
  Florida Water Analysis serves homeowners across many Florida counties, including Brevard, Charlotte, Citrus, Collier, DeSoto, Hardee, Hernando, Highlands, Hillsborough, Indian River, Lake, Lee, Manatee, Marion, Orange, Osceola, Pasco, Polk, St. Lucie, Seminole, Sumter and surrounding areas.

• How long does a free water test take?
  A free in-home water test typically takes around 30 to 60 minutes. During the visit, a water specialist will assess your water, discuss any issues you have noticed, explain the results and provide clear recommendations. There is no cost, no commitment and no obligation to purchase a system.

• Is well water safe to drink in Florida without treatment?
  Some well water may be safe to drink, but private wells are the homeowner’s responsibility and should be tested regularly. Well water can contain bacteria, nitrate, sulfur, iron, tannins, hardness minerals or other contaminants depending on the area. Testing is the safest way to understand your water before deciding whether treatment is needed.

If you want cleaner, safer drinking water at home, the first step is understanding your water.
