Free Water Testing in Pompano Beach: What an in-home test measures

Pompano Beach (population about 113,000 residents, in Broward County) is served by City of Pompano Beach Utilities Department (operates one lime-softening plant and one membrane filtration plant). Source water: Biscayne Aquifer groundwater pumped from two city wellfields, treated at two parallel facilities, one using conventional lime softening and one using membrane filtration. On-site testing of Pompano Beach finished water typically reads 7 to 11 grains per gallon for hardness.

Why a free in-home test makes sense here in Pompano Beach

Pompano Beach is actively expanding its membrane treatment plant specifically to remove PFAS and PFOS, a capital project the utility publishes ongoing test results for.

For Pompano Beach homeowners that translates into a specific set of treatment priorities. We commonly hear about:

  • Hardness scaling on glass shower doors and water heaters
  • Chlorine taste in cold drinking and ice water
  • Reddish or yellow staining on fixtures (iron)
  • Cloudy water at first draw (dissolved gas or sediment)
  • Soap that will not lather (high hardness)

What is in Pompano Beach water (notable details)

  • Pompano Beach has an active capital project expanding its membrane treatment plant specifically to remove PFAS and PFOS from the finished water supply; the city has secured grant funding toward the new facility and publishes ongoing PFAS monitoring data on the utility website (source)

Frequently Asked Questions

What does City of Pompano Beach Utilities Department actually put in my Pompano Beach tap water?

City of Pompano Beach Utilities Department finishes water with free chlorine secondary disinfection at a running annual average of 3.31 mg/L. The most recent CCR (covering 2024) lists TTHM at 27 ppb and HAA5 at 18 ppb. Hardness is not on the CCR template, our on-site test typically reads 7 to 11 grains per gallon for Pompano Beach homes.

Is Pompano Beach water actually hard, and does it need softening?

Pompano Beach 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.

What does HydraGen Essentials measure during a free in-home test in Pompano Beach?

We test hardness directly (in grains per gallon), free chlorine residual against City of Pompano Beach Utilities Department's published value, total dissolved solids on a calibrated meter, iron, and pH. The visit runs 20 to 30 minutes. You get the readings written down and an explanation of what each one means for Pompano Beach homes specifically.

Will the test pick up PFAS or lead in Pompano Beach drinking water?

Lab-grade PFAS and lead detection takes certified equipment and a few days of turnaround, not an in-home test. We pull City of Pompano Beach Utilities Department's most recent CCR with you. The 2025 report covering Pompano Beach lists lead at 1.1 ppb and PFAS results in the CCR table.
