Why this installation is sized differently here in Pembroke Pines

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.

What size whole-house filtration does a typical Pembroke Pines home need?

For a typical Pembroke Pines home pulling 7 to 11 grains per gallon water from City of Pembroke Pines Utilities Department, we usually size to peak flow of 8 to 12 gpm with a catalytic carbon tank for chlorine reduction. Sediment pre-filtration is sized to the service line. The 3 mg/L chlorine residual is the driver for carbon media selection, not a generic spec sheet.

Do I need a softener with my whole-house filter in Pembroke Pines?

At 7 to 11 grains per gallon, most Pembroke Pines homeowners notice scale on glass shower doors and faucet aerators within a year. Whether to add a softener upstream of the carbon tank depends on appliance load (especially tankless water heaters), aesthetic preferences, and whether you want sodium or potassium regeneration. We size both together when both are warranted.
