Whole-house treatment at the point water enters the home, not just one faucet.
Winter Park homes are served by the city's own municipal water system, not a private well, but municipal water can still carry hardness minerals and a chlorine taste that a whole-house filter or softener addresses at the point it enters the house, rather than at one faucet.
Whole-house treatment at the point water enters the home, not just one faucet.
The City of Winter Park runs its own Water & Wastewater Utilities department, serving roughly 23,000 water customers directly rather than through a private utility. Hardness and taste vary by source and by season, so the only way to know your specific numbers is a water test, which your plumber can run before recommending anything.
It varies by source and by season, and we'd rather you got your specific water tested than settle for a generic yes or no. A water test takes a few minutes during an estimate visit and tells your plumber whether softening, filtration, or both actually make sense for your home.
No. A softener uses ion exchange to remove the calcium and magnesium minerals that cause hardness (scale buildup, soap that will not lather well). A filter targets chlorine taste, sediment or specific contaminants. Many households benefit from both, installed together at the water's point of entry.
