Water softeners and filtration in South County
We install water softeners, whole-home filtration and reverse osmosis in all 9 communities across South County, from Boca Raton to Manalapan, with the softener and RO package from $2,850 installed after a free 15-minute test at your sink.
Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach and the coastal communities between them. Boca's own utility softens at the plant and publishes finished hardness around 65 to 80 mg/L; its neighbours treat differently. That spread is exactly why we test at your sink instead of quoting a city average.
