Water softeners & filtration in Tequesta

Tequesta scores 5.5/10 on the Honest Water Score, our score built from official utility reports: it rates the treatment Village of Tequesta Water Utility publishes, and here the utility's own published hardness of about 100 to 120 mg/L sets the number. That places Tequesta in Tier 2 (Membrane plants and blends (nanofiltration / RO)) alongside Jupiter, Juno Beach and Palm Beach Gardens, against a county average of 6.1 across 29 scored locations. After an install, homes score 9.5+, and the free test gives your own starting number.

Village of Tequesta Water Utility supplies Tequesta, and its Village of Tequesta 2025 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report sets out the details. Source water: 14 wells, 10 surficial-aquifer plus 4 wells about 1,800 ft into the upper Floridan aquifer. Treatment: Direct filtration for surficial water, blended with reverse-osmosis-treated Floridan water. Disinfectant: Chloramine.

Village of Tequesta Water Utility is one of only two utilities in the county that publish a finished hardness figure: about 100 to 120 mg/L, about roughly 6 to 7 gpg. That counts as hard (finished water). It is the number leaving the plant; what reaches your Tequesta tap after your own plumbing is the number we measure.

Tequesta is supplied by Village of Tequesta Water Utility, whose report gives the source as: 14 wells, 10 surficial-aquifer plus 4 wells about 1,800 ft into the upper Floridan aquifer. 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.

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 Tequesta water and what it costs.

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 Tequesta before you decide anything.

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.
