We're starting in Broward County, and Fort Lauderdale is part of that coverage. If you want a whole-house filter or an under-sink reverse osmosis system installed, you call us, send a few photos of where the water comes in or of your open sink cabinet, and get one written price for a named system. A local plumber does the install. There is no in-home salesperson. Before you get into what system might suit your home, one thing is worth knowing about Fort Lauderdale's water supply: most of it changed treatment plants in September 2026, and that matters when you read the city's report.

What to know before reading Fort Lauderdale's water report

Fort Lauderdale's water comes from the Biscayne Aquifer, pumped via wells, according to the city's 2025 report. That report covers monitoring from January through December 2025, before the Prospect Lake Clean Water Center began feeding the system in September 2026. The city's announcement says the new plant was built to improve water clarity and taste. We have not found any monitoring results published after that change. So if you read the 2025 report today, you are reading about water treated at the old plants. If you want to ask about current conditions, the city's customer support line is 954-828-8000. The 2025 report is also available through fortlauderdale.gov. One more thing worth knowing: some Fort Lauderdale addresses are served by a Broward County water district, not the city's system. Your bill settles which utility you're on. If it shows a county district, the city's report does not describe your water.

Choosing between a whole-house filter and an under-sink system

The main question is where you want filtered water and what your home allows. A whole-house system sits where the supply line enters and serves the fixtures connected after it. Hose bibs and irrigation lines often branch off before that point, so they would not be on the filtered supply. An under-sink reverse osmosis system sits beneath a single sink and serves that tap only. It is a smaller job. Both are real options. If you want to think through the trade-offs, this guide on whole-house versus reverse osmosis covers the main differences. For a broader look at how a whole-house system works, see how a whole-house filter works. If you have questions about softeners, those are a different category entirely. The softener versus filter guide explains what each one does. We are not launching softeners as part of our current offer, but that page will give you a straight answer on whether a softener is even what you are looking for. The right system depends on your home's layout and what you want filtered water at. We do not make that call for you, but we can walk through the options on the phone.

How to get a price and schedule installation

We sell by phone. There is no showroom and no in-home salesperson. You call, send a few photos, and get one written price for a named system. We only give an install date once a local plumber has confirmed it. We have not been in business long enough to have built up a long list of customer feedback, but the price in writing is there from the start, and so is a number you can call if something goes wrong. If your home is on a private well rather than the city's supply, tell us when you call and we will be straight with you about whether we can help yet. We are starting with homes on city water. To get started, reach out here.
