Jupiter, FL

PFAS: The Town has tested for PFAS since EPA's third unregulated contaminant round and says every compound has come back below the test method's minimum reporting limit. It credits its nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes, which are among the treatments regulators consider most effective for PFAS. Read the Town's PFAS information page for its monitoring history.

Disinfection byproducts: These form when the disinfectant reacts with natural organic matter in the pipes. The highest running averages in 2025 were 4.82 ppb HAA5 at a Dunes Edge Road site and 1.58 ppb TTHM at a site on US-1 in Juno Beach, far under EPA's limits. The Environmental Working Group's health guidelines are much stricter (0.1 ppb for HAA5 and 0.15 ppb for TTHM), which is why some online reports flag them. Catalytic carbon reduces both if you'd like them lower.

Lead and fluoride: A 2024 inventory of every service line, including the customer's side, found no lead service lines in the Town's system. Any lead would come from older solder or brass fixtures inside a home. Fluoride is not added; the 0.088 ppm the report lists occurs naturally in the shallow aquifer.

That's why we measure before we quote. On Town water, many homes test low enough that a softener isn't needed, and we'll tell you so. A softener earns its place when your reading shows real hardness, when you're on a private well, or when spots and crust keep coming back on glass and fixtures.

Two local situations fool people. White crust on a shower door may come from a private irrigation well wetting the glass or the walls, not from the Town supply. And orange streaks on stucco, pavers and driveways usually mean iron from a sprinkler well. Both are fixable at the well rather than inside the house.

Where a softener is right, we size it to your measured grains and household, not a chart. Well water with iron needs an iron filter ahead of the softener so the resin isn't fouled; put them in the wrong order and the softener resin wears out early.

The pool-like taste and smell most people notice is the disinfectant. The Town uses chloramine, a mix of chlorine and ammonia that lasts longer in warm pipes, and it averaged 2.99 ppm in 2025. For about three weeks each summer the Town switches the whole system to free chlorine to clean the mains; in 2026 that ran from July 14 to August 4. The Town says the water stays within drinking water standards during the switch, but many people taste and smell a stronger chlorine note while it lasts.

A whole-house catalytic carbon filter is built for this. Ordinary carbon handles free chlorine but struggles with chloramine, while catalytic carbon is designed to reduce both, so the taste stays steady through the switch. It also protects softener resin from chloramine.

Jupiter was incorporated in 1925, but most of its 61,000 residents live in homes built during the growth decades that followed. The Town's service lines came back lead-free in its 2024 inventory, so the lead question here is about what's inside your walls. Homes built before 1986 can have lead solder at copper joints, and older brass faucets can add trace amounts to water that sits overnight. Our free lab lead test answers that for your kitchen tap, and an RO system or a filter certified for lead reduction handles it if anything shows up.

Condos along A1A and the Intracoastal usually have no room or approval for whole-house equipment, so an under-sink RO and a shower filter are the practical answer. Single-family homes in Abacoa or along the river can take a full system in the garage, and we'll check with your association first if it needs to sign off.

Every job starts with a free water test at your tap, not a regional average. We measure hardness in grains per gallon, chloramine, iron, pH and total dissolved solids. For wells we add a bacteria screen and recommend a certified lab panel for nitrate and anything else your land use suggests.

The recommendation usually follows directly from the numbers. A Town customer with low hardness and a taste complaint gets carbon and maybe RO. A well owner with iron, sulfur and high hardness gets a staged system. A softener that's too small for its water regenerates every few days instead of weekly, wasting salt and wearing the resin, so we size to your measured demand.

Most installs happen the same day and take about 2 to 6 hours, depending on how many stages go in. We use Fleck and Clack control valves backed by a 5-year valve warranty and a 10-year tank warranty. Afterward we handle filter changes, system checks and softener salt delivery throughout 33458, 33469, 33477 and 33478.
