For concrete block (older), frame townhomes (newer) homes from the 1960s to 2010s with standard early PVC and galvanized steel (older), PVC (newer) plumbing, the install is straightforward. Jobs involving older copper or galvanized lines may take longer. We shut off water at the meter, tie into the main line after the meter, and run a bypass loop so future filter changes are easy.

A: University 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. In concrete block (older), frame townhomes (newer) homes across University Square, Terrace Park, Bruce B. Downs corridor, filtered water extends the life of water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines by 2 to 5 years. The taste difference is immediate, and it is usually cheaper than buying bottled water long-term.

A: Under-sink filters handle drinking water only and cost $450 to $1,500 installed. Whole-home filters treat every fixture, shower, and appliance and cost $1,200 to $3,500. For University homes on municipal water, a whole-home system is usually the better long-term value. If your water is only a taste issue (no hardness problem), an under-sink system can be enough. We test your water free before recommending a system.

A: We install Aquasana, Pelican, SpringWell, 3M Aqua-Pure, Culligan, and Kinetico. For University homes with standard water, we usually recommend whole-home carbon plus softener combos from SpringWell or Pelican. For drinking-water-only needs, 3M Aqua-Pure and reverse osmosis systems give excellent results. We match the system to your water test, not to whichever brand has the biggest rebate that month.

A: Filter change frequency depends on the system and your water conditions. Under-sink filters: every 6 to 12 months. Whole-home carbon: every 1 to 3 years. Reverse osmosis membranes: every 2 to 5 years. In University, standard water and Florida water generally has moderate mineral content that builds up over time shorten filter life compared to cleaner-water areas. We include annual filter checks in our Therapy Maintenance Plan so you do not have to think about it.

DIY installs often fail inspection or cause slow leaks in concrete block (older), frame townhomes (newer) homes. You can verify our license on the Florida DBPR site.
