Water softeners & filtration in Highland Beach

Highland Beach scores 8.5/10 on the Honest Water Score, our score built from official utility reports: it rates the treatment Town of Highland Beach Water publishes.

Town of Highland Beach Water supplies Highland Beach, and its Town of Highland Beach Annual Water Quality Report sets out the details.

Treatment: Full reverse osmosis, with hardness and alkalinity added back for stability. Disinfectant: Chlorine.

Town of Highland Beach Water leaves finished hardness out of its annual report, so the free test at your Highland Beach sink is how you find out. What the report does list is the treatment: Full reverse osmosis, with hardness and alkalinity added back for stability. Typically the least hardness left at the tap, though utilities re-add some minerals for pipe stability and none publishes the finished figure.

Highland Beach is supplied by Town of Highland Beach Water, whose report gives the source as: Own brackish Floridan aquifer wells, about 1,200 ft deep, the community has run its own plant since 2004. 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 Highland Beach 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 Highland Beach 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.
