Citrus Park Water Filtration: Filtering Hillsborough County Chloramine in 1980s and 1990s Suburban Plumbing
Citrus Park water comes from Hillsborough County Public Utilities, which uses chloramine disinfection blended from Tampa Bay Water sources. Citrus Park taps test at 6 to 8 grains of hardness, TDS in the 200 to 290 ppm range, and chloramine around 3 to 4 ppm. Most Citrus Park homes (Logan Gate Village, Citrus Park Village, Country Run) were built 1980 to 1998 and many have first-generation copper supply now 30 to 40 years old, plus polybutylene risk on homes built before 1995. Filtration here protects what is left of the original plumbing and extends water heater life. FREE estimates and FREE diagnosis on every visit.

Three Citrus Park Specifics That Change Our Water Filtration Installation
Chloramine Plus Aging Copper Plus Polybutylene Risk
Hillsborough County Public Utilities uses chloramine, which is harsher on aging copper than free chlorine. Citrus Park homes built before 1995 also have a real chance of hidden polybutylene supply line behind the drywall. Polybutylene is sensitive to chloramine and chlorine, and aggressive disinfectants accelerate its failure rate. The Halo whole-home catalytic carbon stage removes chloramine at the main, which buys you time on both the original copper and any remaining polybutylene. We do not replace polybutylene with carbon filtration, but we do slow the clock on it.
Chloramine removal slows polybutylene and copper deterioration.
Moderate Hardness on Hillsborough Supply
Citrus Park water at 6 to 8 grains is moderate hardness. Water heater anode rods last 4 to 5 years instead of the expected 6, and most homeowners see some chalk haze but not severe scale. A softener is optional on Citrus Park, not essential. We give honest math at the FREE estimate: softener pays back in 8 to 10 years if you have noticeable hardness complaints (haze on glass, dry skin, soap film). If you do not, carbon-only is the right tier.
Softener is optional on Citrus Park water. Not pushed unless math justifies.
Permit and Inspection at Hillsborough Land Use Hub
Citrus Park water filtration installs require a Hillsborough County plumbing permit pulled at the Land Use Hub on Falkenburg Road. We handle the application, schedule the inspection, and meet the inspector. Standard inspection turnaround is 5 to 10 business days. Most Citrus Park installs complete same-day after permit issuance, with inspection scheduled the following week. We document the install location, equipment specs, and pressure-test results in our paperwork for your records.
Hillsborough County permit and inspection included on every install.
