The Importance of Water Filtration in Florida Homes
Florida's limestone aquifer and chloramine treatment create a unique set of water problems.
Limestone means hardness
Much of Florida's groundwater flows through limestone, picking up calcium and magnesium along the way.
Chloramine is the norm
Tampa Bay utilities use chloramine for disinfection. It lasts longer in pipes but is harder to remove than chlorine — it takes quality carbon.
Wells have their own issues
Private wells in north Pinellas, Pasco and Hernando often have iron and sulfur. A dual-tank well system targets both.
