That white film is caused by hard water minerals, mainly calcium and magnesium. When water evaporates, those minerals stay behind on faucets, glass, dishes, and shower doors. It’s extremely common in South Florida and one of the biggest signs you need filtration or softening.

Yes. Most areas in Florida — especially South Florida – have moderately to very hard water due to limestone aquifers. Hard water is safe to drink but causes scale buildup, soap inefficiency, and appliance wear.

Municipal water systems add chlorine to disinfect water and kill bacteria. While effective, chlorine can cause strong odors, unpleasant taste, and dry skin. Filtration removes chlorine while keeping your water safe.

Florida tap water meets safety standards, but “safe” does not mean “clean-tasting” or “ideal.” Many homeowners choose filtration to remove chlorine, sediment, and other contaminants that affect taste, smell, and long-term comfort.

Depending on location, Florida water may contain:

• Chlorine or chloramines
• Sediment and sand
• Hard minerals
• Sulfur odors
• Trace metals from aging infrastructure

A proper filtration system targets these at the source.

Yes. Hard water causes scale buildup inside water heaters, dishwashers, washing machines, and plumbing, reducing efficiency and shortening lifespan. Filtration and softening protect your investment.

Chlorine and hard water strip natural oils from your skin. Many Florida homeowners notice dry skin, irritation, and dull hair until they switch to filtered water.

Absolutely. Filtration removes chlorine, sediment, and impurities that affect taste, resulting in cleaner, better-tasting water straight from the tap.

That depends on your goals. Under-sink filters help drinking water, but whole-home systems protect every faucet, shower, appliance, and pipe in your home. Most Florida homeowners choose whole-home solutions for full coverage.

Every home’s water is different. A professional water evaluation looks at hardness levels, chlorine content, and household usage to recommend the right system, whether professionally installed or DIY.

Water softeners reduce hardness minerals (calcium & magnesium).

Water filtration systems remove chlorine, sediment, and other contaminants.

Many homes benefit from both, depending on water conditions.
