What’s actually in South Bay water
South Bay homes are on Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department. Floridan aquifer groundwater, drawn 1,000 to 1,200 feet down and disinfected with chlorine in PBCWUD's western service area. Florida groundwater comes up through limestone, so it starts out mineral-heavy — but how much of that is left by the time it reaches you depends entirely on what your supplier does about it first, and in this county that varies enormously.
Where it comes back hard you see it as spots on glassware, a white crust around the faucet aerators, film on the shower door and soap that will not lather. What you do not see is the same mineral coating the inside of your water heater, insulating the element and making it burn more energy for less hot water. Where it comes back already softened, the win moves to the tap you drink from instead.

The only way to know your number
City-wide averages tell you very little about your particular house — the age of your plumbing, your water heater and where you sit on the distribution network all matter. We test at your kitchen sink, free, and show you the result while we’re standing there.

Questions
South Bay water questions
Call us if yours isn’t here — a real person answers.
Where does South Bay's water come from?
South Bay is supplied by Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department — Floridan aquifer groundwater, drawn 1,000 to 1,200 feet down and disinfected with chlorine in PBCWUD's western service area. The supplier and the treatment they use are what decide how hard your water is and what else is in it, and they vary enormously across this county. That is why we test at your sink rather than quoting an average.
Do I need a water softener in South Bay?
The free test at your own sink answers it in about fifteen minutes. Where the water comes back hard, a softener is the biggest single change you can make to a house — no scale in the heater, no spotting on glassware, soap that finally rinses. Where it comes back already softened at the plant, we put the money where you will feel it instead: carbon filtration and reverse osmosis at the tap you drink from. Either way you finish knowing exactly which system fits South Bay water and what it costs.
How much does a water softener cost in South Bay?
It depends on your water hardness, the size of your home and where the equipment can go — so we do not publish one figure we would then have to walk back. What we will say is that installation is included, the system carries a lifetime warranty, and the free in-home test turns all of it into an exact number for your house before you decide anything.
How long does installation take in South Bay?
A whole-home system is usually a half day. An under-sink reverse osmosis system is around two hours. We clean up before we leave, and the price you agreed is the price at the end.
