A: St. Petersburg water is standard and drawn from municipal sources. Florida water generally has moderate mineral content that builds up over time. Chlorine, sediment, and minerals affect taste, appliance life, and skin and hair condition.

The taste difference is immediate, and it is usually cheaper than buying bottled water long-term.

We test your water free before recommending a system.
