Water Treatment

Juno Beach, FL

Juno Beach is unusual for how few detached houses it has. Most of its housing is condominium and multi-unit buildings, many of them along Ocean Drive and A1A, with single-family streets and canal homes mostly toward the Intracoastal and US-1. That split changes the job more than the water does, because every home here gets membrane-treated water from one of the two utilities.

In a condo unit, the drinking-water tap is the natural place to start. An under-sink RO fits in the kitchen cabinet, needs no changes to shared plumbing, and covers the things people ask us about most: chromium-6, lead from older building pipes, and the taste of chloramine. If you'd also like chloramine out of the shower, a whole-unit filter is possible when there's room near your unit's supply line and the association allows it. We'll look before we quote. Our article on whether you need a whole-house filter and an under-sink RO walks through that decision.

In a house, the usual setup is whole-house catalytic carbon at the main line, RO at the kitchen sink, and a softener only if your hardness reading supports one. Houses also have the outdoor taps, pool fill lines and irrigation that condo owners don't deal with, so we'll ask where you want treated water and where you don't. There's no reason to filter the water that goes on the lawn.

Living a block from the ocean, you'll see white film on balcony glass, railings, outdoor showers and pool tile. Not all of it comes from the tap. Ocean spray dries into salt, which a rinse with fresh water mostly washes off. Hard-water scale is calcium and magnesium that stays behind where tap water evaporates. It builds up in rings, feels gritty, and doesn't rinse away. If it's on your shower doors and faucets inside the house, the tap is the likely source. If it's only on the side of the building facing the beach, it's probably salt.

Telling the two apart matters, because a water softener only fixes the second problem. Both utilities' nanofiltration removes much of the hardness before the water reaches Juno Beach, so plenty of homes here don't need one. Where your reading does show enough hardness to scale, a softener protects more than the glass. Scale builds up on water heater elements and inside dishwashers and washing machines, where you can't see it.

Pool and boat owners should know one more thing: water from a softener isn't meant for everything outside. Hose bibs for rinsing the boat, the dock or the beach gear can stay on the unsoftened line. We plan the plumbing so the outside taps get the water that makes sense for them.

Our free in-home water test is a 20-minute visit to your kitchen sink. It covers hardness, chloramine, iron, pH and total dissolved solids, measured at your own tap, so you're looking at your building's water rather than a utility average or a database entry. For buildings plumbed before 1986, we add a first-draw lead sample and arrange a certified lab test at no charge.

You'll see the readings and what they mean for your unit or house, and we'll recommend only what they support. In Juno Beach that's often an under-sink RO, sometimes carbon, and a softener only when the hardness number calls for one. Installed prices: $799–$1,200 for RO, from $1,495 for whole-house carbon, $1,495–$2,500 for a softener, and $3,200–$5,500 for all three.

Standard systems are usually installed on the day you decide. We're a local company based in Delray Beach. Our softeners use Fleck and Clack control valves and 10% crosslink resin suited to chloramine water, backed by a 5-year valve and 10-year tank warranty. For filter changes, salt or a repair later on, you call us directly rather than a national call center.
