Frequently Asked Questions

What does City of Pembroke Pines Utilities Department actually put in my Pembroke Pines tap water?

City of Pembroke Pines Utilities Department finishes water with free chlorine secondary disinfection at a running annual average of 3 mg/L. The most recent CCR (covering 2024) lists TTHM at 28 ppb and HAA5 at 24 ppb. Hardness is not on the CCR template, our on-site test typically reads 7 to 11 grains per gallon for Pembroke Pines homes.

Is Pembroke Pines water actually hard, and does it need softening?

Pembroke Pines finished water typically tests 7 to 11 grains per gallon, which is moderately hard to hard on the water-treatment scale. That level produces visible scale on glass shower doors, faucet aerators, and water heater elements within a year. Whether to install a softener depends on appliance load and household preference, not just the gpg number.

How often do filters actually need changing on Pembroke Pines water?

For Pembroke Pines homes pulling 7 to 11 grains per gallon water, sediment cartridges run six to twelve months and carbon tank media typically lasts five to seven years under chlorinated municipal supply. RO pre-filters change every six to twelve months and the RO membrane usually lasts three to five years on this feed water. UV lamps replace annually, no exceptions.

Will HydraGen Essentials service a system in Pembroke Pines that we did not install?

Yes, in most cases. We service the major residential brands and source replacement cartridges, RO membranes, and UV lamps for systems originally installed by other companies. If your unit is a proprietary system with restricted parts, we will tell you up front before scheduling.
