Why Hollywood Homes Need Reverse Osmosis System Installation

Hollywood (approximately 152,000 residents, in Broward County) is served by City of Hollywood Department of Public Utilities. Drinking water comes from groundwater pumped from wells drawing from both the Biscayne Aquifer and the deeper, brackish Floridan Aquifer; Floridan water is treated by reverse osmosis and blended with treated Biscayne water before distribution. Hardness at the tap is moderately hard, the Biscayne and post-RO Floridan blend produces finished water typically in the 6 to 10 grains-per-gallon range, varying with seasonal source-blending ratios.

For most Hollywood homeowners that means visible scale on faucet aerators and showerheads within a year, water heaters that fail earlier than rated, and detergent and soap that never quite lather. A properly sized reverse osmosis installation fixes the water that arrives at every fixture in the house, not just the kitchen tap. For regional context behind these recommendations, see our Complete Guide to Reverse Osmosis article.

How Our Reverse Osmosis System Installation Works

Under-sink reverse osmosis systems for drinking water and ice. Removes chlorine, dissolved solids, lead, arsenic, fluoride, nitrates, and PFAS to bottled-water quality at the kitchen tap. Especially valuable in South Florida service areas where finished water can be high in TDS or sodium.

Every install starts with a real water test. We do not size off a utility average. The South Florida distribution loop carries seasonal variation, and the actual water at your kitchen sink may differ from the headline numbers in any utility's annual Consumer Confidence Report. For deeper background, read Complete Guide to Reverse Osmosis or our Reverse Osmosis System Installation service page.

Hollywood-Specific Considerations

Hollywood sits in Broward County. The water you drink, cook with, and shower in is treated by City of Hollywood Department of Public Utilities (see the utility's water-quality page).

Notable local water-quality details:

  • free chlorine secondary disinfection with TTHM and HAA5 reported within EPA limits in the city's annual water quality report (source)
  • Hollywood blends Biscayne Aquifer surface-treated water with deeper Floridan Aquifer water finished via reverse osmosis, which moderates sodium and chloride compared with straight Floridan RO finished water but introduces variability that homeowners often notice as seasonal taste differences (source)

For the most current numbers (free chlorine residual, total trihalomethanes, hardness, lead and copper at the tap), pull Hollywood's most recent Consumer Confidence Report directly from the utility. We bring a fresh on-site test to every consultation.

Water quality data on this page is sourced from the City of Hollywood Department of Public Utilities 2025 Consumer Confidence Report, covering calendar year 2024, published by the Florida Department of Health (CCR PDF).

Frequently Asked Questions

Why install reverse osmosis in Hollywood?

Reverse osmosis is the only point-of-use technology that consistently removes dissolved solids, lead, arsenic, fluoride, nitrates, and PFAS to bottled-water quality. For Hollywood homes, that means crisp drinking water and clear ice from the same line, without buying jugs.

How much water does an RO system waste?

Older RO systems wasted four gallons to make one. Modern systems we install run a one-to-one or even better recovery ratio thanks to permeate-pump or tankless designs. Over a year of typical kitchen use, the waste is comparable to one or two extra dishwasher cycles.

Will an RO system run my refrigerator water and ice?

In most cases, yes. We tee off the RO storage tank to feed the fridge ice maker and water dispenser, provided the run is short enough to maintain pressure. On longer runs we add a permeate pump.

How often do filters need changing?

Sediment and carbon pre-filters change every six to twelve months. The RO membrane itself typically lasts three to five years on South Florida feed water, longer when a softener is installed upstream.
