Products and services

• Water Softeners Ion-exchange water softeners that remove calcium and magnesium hardness minerals by replacing them with sodium or potassium ions, protecting plumbing, appliances, skin, hair, glassware, and fixtures from scale buildup. Sold to residential and commercial customers in North Central Florida.
• Reverse Osmosis (RO) Drinking Water Systems Point-of-use multi-stage RO systems (particle filter, activated carbon, RO membrane, re-mineralization filter) that force pressurized water through a fine membrane to remove lead, arsenic, nitrates, cysts, bacteria, and sediment, producing high-purity drinking water at the kitchen sink.
• Air Injection Oxidizing Filters (Iron & Sulfur Filters) Environmentally safe filters using catalytic carbon or iron-removal media combined with an air-charge chamber to oxidize and capture iron and hydrogen sulfide from well water without toxic chemicals. Targets well-water customers with sulfur odors and iron staining.
• Chlorination/Dechlorination Systems Chlorine-injection systems that disinfect well water, remove iron, hydrogen sulfide, tannins, organic matter, turbidity, and microbiological contamination, paired with an auto back-washing carbon filter that strips residual chlorine and disinfection byproducts before water enters the home.
• Ultra Violet Purification Non-chemical UV disinfection systems emitting light at 260 nanometers to deactivate bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoans, and cysts by disrupting their DNA, used as a chemical-free microbiological disinfection step for residential and commercial water supplies.
• Whole-House Carbon Filters Activated carbon filtration systems installed at the main water line using coconut shell, anthracite, or bituminous coal carbon to remove chlorine, chlorine by-products, organic compounds, radon, benzene, solvents, trihalomethanes, and VOCs from every tap in the home.
• Hydrogen Peroxide Systems Disinfection systems using hydrogen peroxide injection as an environmentally gentle alternative to chlorine for problem well water, effective at removing sulfur and sanitizing specific water chemistries.
• Low Pressure Membrane Systems Whole-home membrane filtration technology similar to RO but scaled to treat all incoming water, delivering super high-purity water at every tap with no stains, odors, scaling, or chemicals.
• Water Conditioners (Salt-Free TAC) Salt-free Template Assisted Crystallization (TAC) systems that alter dissolved limerock into a form that does not cling to surfaces or precipitate into scale, providing scale prevention without chemicals or salt and without removing minerals.
• Sanitizing Conditioners Self-chlorinating combined systems that integrate softening, iron and manganese removal, pH correction, and filtration in one unit, while killing and removing iron and sulfur bacteria that can incubate in softener beds.
• Water Testing Services On-site water chemistry testing, laboratory sample analysis, and a SimpleLab partnership offering in-home testing kits for coliform, E. coli, HPC bacteria, PFAS, lead, copper, nitrates, and comprehensive drinking water analysis, with results returned via email within 2–15 business days.
• Equipment Installation & Maintenance Services Professional installation, repair, and preventative maintenance of water softeners, filtration, RO, UV, and chlorination systems by factory-trained, nationally certified, non-commissioned company employees, including proactive maintenance scheduling and 24/7 support.
