Water softener installation in Palm Beach
We install water softeners in Palm Beach sized from a free test at your kitchen sink, with the softener and reverse osmosis package from $2,850 installed and a lifetime warranty. Palm Beach water scores 4.5/10 on our Honest Water Score today.
Palm Beach is on City of West Palm Beach Public Utilities, and like 13 of the county's 15 utilities it leaves finished hardness out of its report, so the free test at your sink is how you find out.
Palm Beach water
What Palm Beach’s water report means for a softener
Palm Beach water is treated by City of West Palm Beach Public Utilities. Treatment, per its own report: Coagulation and sedimentation, carbon and sand filtration, UV disinfection. Lake-fed surface water with no softening step in the city’s report. Hardness isn’t published, so only a tap test tells you.
The island. Big houses, long pipe runs, and a lot of owners who want the equipment out of sight, which is exactly what the faux rock and shed installs are for.
Going by the record, the likely starting point for a Palm Beach home is the Water Softener with Chlorine Filtration (best for: most homes on city water anywhere in Palm Beach County). The free test confirms it or changes it, and you see the exact price before you decide.

How to choose
Which softener for your Palm Beach home
The three tiers are a genuine engineering difference in softening capacity, not a trim level. More capacity means longer between regenerations, which means less salt and less water used getting there.

Questions
Palm Beach softener FAQs
What is the water score in Palm Beach, and what does a softener change?
Palm Beach scores 4.5/10 on the Honest Water Score, our score built from official utility reports, against a county average of 6.1. The score rates what City of West Palm Beach Public Utilities does before the water leaves the plant; a softener and carbon filtration take over at your house, and after an install Palm Beach homes score 9.5+.
Who supplies water in Palm Beach, and does it soften the water first?
City of West Palm Beach Public Utilities supplies Palm Beach from surface water, the county's only surface-water system, and its report lists coagulation, filtration and UV with no softening stage. Hardness is unpublished, so the free tap test is the number a softener is sized from.
What size water softener do I need in Palm Beach?
Size is driven by two things: how hard your water is and how much of it your household uses. Palm Beach is on City of West Palm Beach Public Utilities, which doesn't publish finished hardness, so the free test at your sink is the sizing input. Our Standard is 48,000 grains and suits most three to four bedroom homes; the XL is 64,000 and the Dual Tank is 96,000.
Will a softener fix the taste of my Palm Beach water?
Partly. Our whole-home systems pair softening resin with coconut-shell carbon, so they take out chlorine along with the hardness, and chlorine is usually what people are tasting. For drinking water specifically, reverse osmosis goes considerably further.
Do water softeners waste a lot of water?
A softener regenerates periodically and uses water to do it. Our systems use metered regeneration, which means it only regenerates when it has actually processed enough water to need to, rather than on a fixed timer. That's a meaningful difference in both salt and water use.
How much salt will I go through?
It depends on your hardness and usage. Most households top up the brine tank every one to two months. If you'd rather avoid salt entirely, our salt-free conditioner prevents scale without it, though it conditions rather than softens, and we'll be straight with you about that difference.
