Your water
What’s actually in Greenacres water
Greenacres homes are on Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department (eastern system). Source water, per its report: Biscayne (surficial) aquifer, with Floridan supply at some plants. Florida groundwater comes up through limestone, so it starts out mineral-heavy, but how much of that is left by the time it reaches you depends entirely on what your supplier does about it first, and in this county that varies enormously.
Where it comes back hard you see it as spots on glassware, a white crust around the faucet aerators, film on the shower door and soap that will not lather. What you do not see is the same mineral coating the inside of your water heater, insulating the element and making it burn more energy for less hot water. Where it comes back already softened, the win moves to the tap you drink from instead.
What that means in Greenacres: Your water may be membrane-treated or lime-softened depending on address. Genuinely unknowable without measuring.

Who supplies water in Greenacres?

Source water: Biscayne (surficial) aquifer, with Floridan supply at some plants. Treatment: Lime softening plus ion exchange, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis, varying by plant. Disinfectant: Chloramine.
Is Greenacres water hard?
Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department (eastern system) leaves finished hardness out of its annual report, so the free test at your Greenacres sink is how you find out. What the report does list is the treatment: Lime softening plus ion exchange, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis, varying by plant. Your water may be membrane-treated or lime-softened depending on address. Genuinely unknowable without measuring.
Where does Greenacres' water come from?
Greenacres is supplied by Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department (eastern system), whose report gives the source as: Biscayne (surficial) aquifer, with Floridan supply at some plants. The supplier and the treatment they use are what decide how hard your water is and what else is in it, and they vary enormously across this county. That is why we test at your sink rather than quoting an average.
Do I need a water softener in Greenacres?
The free test at your own sink answers it in about fifteen minutes. Where the water comes back hard, a softener is the biggest single change you can make to a house: no scale in the heater, no spotting on glassware, soap that finally rinses. Where it comes back already softened at the plant, we put the money where you will feel it instead: carbon filtration and reverse osmosis at the tap you drink from. Either way you finish knowing exactly which system fits Greenacres water and what it costs.
How much does a water softener cost in Greenacres?
Our softener plus reverse osmosis package starts at $2,850, installed, with a lifetime warranty. Your water hardness, the size of your home and where the equipment can go can add to that, so the free in-home test turns it into an exact number for your house in Greenacres before you decide anything.
How long does installation take in Greenacres?
A whole-home system is usually a half day. An under-sink reverse osmosis system is around two hours. We clean up before we leave, and the price you agreed is the price at the end.
