Understanding Your Water Quality in Florida

Florida water isn’t bad – but it is challenging
From hard water minerals and chlorine taste to scale buildup and dry skin, many Florida homeowners experience water issues without realizing what’s causing them.

This page breaks down what’s actually in Florida water, how it affects your home, and what you can do to improve it.

Is Florida Tap Water Safe to Drink?

Yes, Florida tap water meets safety standards.
However, safe doesn’t always mean ideal.
Chlorine, minerals, and other treatment byproducts can affect:
Taste and odor
Skin and hair health
Plumbing and appliance longevity
That’s why many homeowners choose additional filtration or softening, not because the water is unsafe, but because it can be better.

What’s Typically Found in Florida Water?

Hard Water Minerals
Calcium and magnesium cause scale buildup and soap inefficiency.
Chlorine / Chloramines Used to disinfect water – responsible for odor and taste.
Sediment
Sand, rust, or particles from aging infrastructure.
Trace Contaminants
Small amounts vary by location and water source.

How Water Quality Affects Your Home

Poor water quality can impact more than just drinking water:
Appliances: Reduced efficiency and lifespan
Plumbing: Scale buildup in pipes
Laundry: Dull clothes and stiff fabrics
Bathrooms: Constant cleaning from mineral residue
