Imagine you just moved into a new home in Palm Coast. You're excited, right? New beginnings, new memories to make. But then, you take your first shower. The soap won't lather. Your hair feels…weird. And that white film on your shower door? It's not just dust. That, my friend, is the not-so-grand welcome wagon of hard water.
It's a story I've heard countless times from folks right here in Flagler County. Many people in Palm Coast deal with hard water, and it can be a real headache. But what if I told you there’s a simple fix that can change your daily life for the better? We're talking about water softeners in Palm Coast. Our exclusive Encore Water Softeners are a game-changer.
Below you'll find details about the 6 services that we offer under our Water Softening Equipment Supplier category and then our 7 main categories of service (Water Softening Equipment Supplier, Water Filter Supplier, Water Purification Company, Water Treatment Supplier, Water Testing Service, Plumber and Well Drilling Contractor) with many other products and services under each. We have you covered for all of your water softening and purification needs in Palm Coast, FL.
I still remember the day a homeowner from the Hammock Beach area called me. She was almost in tears. White crust covered every faucet in her house. Her new dishwasher already had cloudy buildup inside. Her hair felt like straw no matter what shampoo she tried. She'd lived in Palm Coast for two years and couldn't figure out why everything felt different than her old home up north.
That's hard water. And in Palm Coast, it's a real problem.
Our water here runs between 15 and 25 grains per gallon (GPG) of hardness. Those minerals wreck your pipes, kill appliances early, and make your skin dry and itchy. Most people don't connect the dots until the damage adds up.
I've been installing water softening equipment since the 1990s. Back when the F Section was still being built and Grand Haven was mostly empty lots. I've seen what hard water does to homes near Linear Park, in the European Village, and everywhere in between.
This page covers water softening equipment, installation, repair, and maintenance services we offer. Find the service you need below. Each section explains who needs it and what happens next.
Soft water protects your home investment. It makes your skin and hair feel better. It stops the white crust and spotted dishes. And it saves you money by keeping your appliances running longer.
Let's fix your water.
Hard water damages your pipes and appliances. Our water softener installation in Palm Coast, FL removes calcium and magnesium that cause scale buildup. Installation takes 2 to 6 hours. We size the system for your home and connect it to your main water line.
Your softener stopped working or you're getting hard water again. Our water softener repair in Palm Coast, FL fixes broken valves, motors, and timers. Most repairs finish the same day. We carry common parts and restore soft water flow quickly on most brands of water softeners.
Regular checks prevent breakdowns and expensive repairs. Our water softener maintenance in Palm Coast, FL includes system cleaning, salt refills, and performance testing. We catch small problems before they become big ones. Annual maintenance keeps your water soft year-round. We maintain most brands of water softening equipment.
Resin beads wear out after 10 to 15 years. If your system uses salt but water stays hard, you need water softener resin replacement in Palm Coast, FL. We drain the tank, remove old beads, and install fresh resin. Your system works like new again.
Salt buildup and sediment reduce softener efficiency. Our brine tank cleaning in Palm Coast, FL removes sludge, salt bridges, and bacteria. Clean tanks mix salt solution properly and waste less salt. High humidity here makes regular cleaning necessary.
Cracks and broken float valves cause leaks and water damage. Our brine tank repair in Palm Coast, FL fixes damaged parts before they ruin your floors. We replace cracked tanks, repair connections, and stop salt water leaks fast.
Water softening fixes hardness. But hardness isn't the only problem in Palm Coast water.
Chlorine gives your water that swimming pool taste. It dries out your skin even after you've softened the water. City water in Palm Coast has chlorine added at the treatment plant. That's normal. But you can taste it and smell it.
Sediment is another issue. Especially if you have well water. Sand, dirt, and rust particles flow through your pipes. You see it in your toilet tank. It clogs faucet aerators. It wears out appliance valves faster.
Some homes deal with tannins. That's organic matter that turns water yellow or brown. Comes from decaying vegetation in the aquifer. Doesn't hurt you but it stains everything. Laundry turns dingy. Toilets look dirty even when they're clean.
Water filters remove these problems. Different filters handle different contaminants. We supply the right filter for what's in your water.
Whole-house carbon filters remove chlorine and improve taste. Sediment filters catch dirt and particles before they reach your appliances. Iron filters pull out the rust that stains your sinks and tubs.
We also supply under-sink filters and reverse osmosis systems. Those give you premium drinking water from one faucet. Great for cooking and making coffee.
I've supplied filters for homes from the European Village to Matanzas Shores. Some people just want better drinking water. Others need to filter out specific problems their water test revealed.
Filters need replacement every 6 to 12 months depending on the type. We supply the replacement cartridges and can install them for you. Or we show you how to do it yourself.
Clean water means more than just soft water. It means water that tastes good and doesn't leave stains.
Purification goes beyond softening and filtering. It removes contaminants that affect your health. Bacteria, viruses, chemicals, heavy metals. Things you can't see or taste but shouldn't be drinking.
Most city water in Palm Coast is safe to drink. The treatment plant does its job. But pipes between the plant and your house can add problems. Old pipes leach lead. Corroded pipes add copper. Even new construction sometimes has contamination from soldering flux or pipe debris.
Well water is different. Nobody treats it before it reaches your tap. Whatever's in the aquifer comes straight to your faucet. That might include bacteria from septic systems, fertilizers from lawns, or naturally occurring contaminants like arsenic.
We test for all of it. Then we design a purification system that removes what your specific water contains.
Reverse osmosis systems are the gold standard for drinking water. They remove 95 to 99 percent of dissolved contaminants. Install one under your kitchen sink and you have purified water for drinking and cooking.
UV purification kills bacteria and viruses. We install these after filtration systems. The UV light destroys microorganisms without adding chemicals. Perfect for well water in areas like Seminole Woods or out near the county line.
Whole-house purification combines multiple technologies. Sediment filters, carbon filters, water softeners, and UV systems all working together. Every drop of water in your home gets treated.
I've installed purification systems for families with immune-compromised members. For people with well water that tested positive for bacteria. For homeowners who just want the cleanest water possible.
According to the CDC, proper water treatment protects against waterborne illness and removes harmful contaminants. You can read more about water treatment methods at cdc.gov.
Your water might look clean but still need purification. Testing shows the truth.
Water treatment covers everything. Softening, filtering, purifying, and solving specific problems unique to your water.
Every house in Palm Coast has different water. I've tested two homes right next to each other on the same street. One had 18 grains of hardness. The other had 22 plus iron staining. Same well depth, same neighborhood, completely different water.
That's why we supply complete treatment systems tailored to what your water test shows.
Some homes need just a softener. Others need softening plus iron removal. Well water near golf courses often has fertilizer contamination that needs special treatment. Homes close to the Intracoastal sometimes deal with salt intrusion.
Iron is a big problem in Palm Coast Plantation and Old Kings Road areas. It leaves orange stains in toilets, sinks, and on driveways where you water plants. Even low levels of iron cause staining. A basic softener won't remove it. You need an iron filter or an oxidation system.
Sulfur makes your water smell like rotten eggs. That's hydrogen sulfide gas dissolved in the water. Common in deep wells. A carbon filter helps with small amounts. Higher levels need a specialized oxidation system that converts the sulfur to particles you can filter out.
pH problems affect pipes and fixtures. Water that's too acidic eats away at copper pipes. You see blue-green stains where water drips. An acid neutralizer raises the pH and stops the corrosion.
We supply treatment equipment from major manufacturers. Then we combine components into systems that fix your specific issues. Not everyone needs the same setup.
A home in Grand Haven with city water might just need a softener and carbon filter. A house in the C Section on well water might need softening, iron removal, pH adjustment, and UV purification.
We match the treatment to the problem. Nothing more, nothing less.
You can't fix water problems if you don't know what's in your water. Testing shows exactly what you're dealing with.
We offer free water testing. Takes about 15 minutes. We test for hardness, iron, pH, chlorine, sulfur, and total dissolved solids. That covers the most common problems in this area.
Hardness levels tell us how much calcium and magnesium your water contains. Most Palm Coast water runs 15 to 25 grains per gallon. Anything over 7 grains is considered hard. Our water is very hard.
Iron shows up in the test as parts per million. Even 0.3 parts per million causes orange staining. I've tested well water in the F Section that had 4 parts per million. Everything in the house was stained rust-colored.
pH measures acidity. Water should be between 6.5 and 8.5. Lower than that and it corrodes pipes. Higher and it tastes bitter and feels slippery.
Some situations need lab testing. If you're buying a house with well water, get a full lab analysis. Tests for bacteria, nitrates, arsenic, and other health-related contaminants. That costs money but tells you everything.
If someone in your house gets sick and you suspect the water, lab testing confirms or rules it out. We send samples to certified labs that test for hundreds of potential problems.
New well owners should test annually. City water customers should test when they notice changes in taste, smell, or appearance.
Testing before you buy equipment saves money. No point installing a softener if your water is already soft. No reason to add an iron filter if you don't have iron.
I've tested water in thousands of Palm Coast homes. From Matanzas Woods to Palm Harbor to Seminole Woods. Testing shows what's really there instead of guessing.
Know your water. Then treat it right.
We don't do standard plumbing repairs, only water purification and water treatment. However, installing water treatment equipment requires real plumbing work. You're cutting into the main water line. Adding drain connections. Running new pipes. Mounting heavy tanks. This isn't a DIY project.
We handle all the plumbing needed for water softeners, filters, and purification systems. That includes connecting to your existing pipes, running drain lines for regeneration discharge, and setting up bypass valves.
The main water line connection is critical. We install the treatment system where water enters your home. Usually near the water heater or in the garage. The system treats all water before it reaches your fixtures and appliances.
Every softener needs a drain line. When the system regenerates, it flushes minerals and salt water to a drain. That drain must meet local code. Wrong installation can cause sewage backups or code violations.
Some homes need pipe rerouting. Maybe your water heater is in the attic. Or your main line runs through a tight crawl space. We figure out the best location and run new pipes to make it work.
Well pump systems need special attention. The treatment equipment goes after the pressure tank but before the house distribution. Getting that sequence wrong causes problems with pressure and flow.
We also handle repairs to treatment system plumbing. Leaking connections, broken drain lines, failed bypass valves. Water leaks damage floors and walls fast. Quick repairs prevent expensive water damage.
Homes in the C Section and older Palm Coast neighborhoods sometimes have galvanized pipes. Those pipes are already corroded inside. Adding treatment equipment means checking the whole system and replacing problem sections.
Code compliance matters. Flagler County has plumbing codes for backflow prevention, drain connections, and proper venting. We install everything to code so inspections pass the first time.
We focus on water treatment plumbing. That's our specialty. We don't do general plumbing repairs, toilet replacements, or kitchen remodels. Just the plumbing work that connects water treatment systems.
We don't drill wells. But we fix the water that comes out of them.
About half of Palm Coast homes use well water. That means your water comes straight from the ground with no treatment plant cleaning it first. Whatever's in the aquifer flows to your faucets.
Well water in this area has predictable problems. High hardness, iron, sulfur, tannins, and sometimes bacteria. Every well is different but most have at least two of these issues.
Testing well water shows what treatment you need. We test on-site for common problems. For bacteria and chemical contaminants, we send samples to certified labs. The EPA provides guidelines for private well owners on testing frequency and contaminants to check.
Iron is the biggest complaint I hear from well owners. Orange stains everywhere. Toilets, sinks, driveways, sidewalks. Even your dog's white fur turns orange if he drinks from an outside bowl.
Sulfur makes water smell like rotten eggs. You smell it when you turn on the hot water. Guests notice it the second they walk in your house. Embarrassing and unpleasant.
Hard well water in Palm Coast typically runs 18 to 25 grains. That's very hard. It kills water heaters, clogs pipes, and makes cleaning impossible.
Tannins from decaying vegetation turn water yellow or brown. Stains laundry and fixtures. Looks terrible even though it's not dangerous.
We design treatment systems that handle multiple problems at once. Oxidation filters for iron and sulfur. Softeners for hardness. Carbon filters for tannins. UV purification for bacteria.
Well water treatment is different from city water treatment. Wells have no chlorine to work with for oxidation. Pressure and flow rates vary. The treatment system must match your specific well characteristics.
I've treated well water in every Palm Coast neighborhood that has wells. Seminole Woods, the F Section, areas near Old Kings Road. Different depths, different aquifers, different problems.
Your well might pump clean-looking water. But testing reveals what's really in it. Then we treat it so it's actually clean.
We live and work right here in Palm Coast. We understand the specific water challenges in areas like Indian Trails, Pine Lakes, Flagler Beach, Bunnell, and all over Flagler County. We're not some big company from out of town; we're your neighbors.
We explain things in a way that makes sense. You won't hear a bunch of complicated words you don't understand. We just tell you what's going on and how we can fix it.
We’ve seen it all. From the faint orange stains on a bathtub in a Belle Terre home, a tell-tale sign of iron in the water, to the endless scrubbing of cloudy glassware in a home near the European Village. We don't just sell equipment; we solve problems that make your daily life better.
What are your concerns? What problems are you having? We want to hear them. Every home is different, and we tailor our solutions to what you need.
We've been fixing water problems in Palm Coast since 1996. That's before most of the neighborhoods here even existed. I remember when they were still building out the F Section and Grand Haven was just getting started.
Three decades means we've seen every water problem this area has. Well water with iron that stains everything orange. City water so hard it kills appliances in five years. Sulfur smell that makes your whole house reek like rotten eggs.
We've worked in every Palm Coast neighborhood. Matanzas Woods, the European Village, Palm Harbor, Seminole Woods. The old sections near Belle Terre and the new construction out by Old Kings Road. Different areas have different water issues. We know what to expect before we even test your water.
Last month, a couple in the Cinnamon Creek area called us. They'd just moved from Pennsylvania. Their daughter's skin broke out in rashes after every bath. They thought it was the Florida heat. Turned out their well water had 22 grains of hardness plus chlorine. We installed a softener and a whole-house filter. The rashes cleared up in two weeks.
That's what local experience means. We don't just install equipment. We solve the specific water problems that happen in Flagler County.
We service every major brand. Culligan, Kinetico, GE, Whirlpool, doesn't matter. If it softens water, we can fix it. Most companies only work on what they sell. We work on everything.
Our wholesale pricing beats the big companies. Always. We don't have their overhead costs or salespeople on commission. Just honest pricing for quality work.
Palm Coast water typically ranges from 15 to 25 grains per gallon of hardness. The USGS classifies water over 7 grains as hard water, making Palm Coast water very hard. This high mineral content causes scale buildup, appliance damage, and dry skin.
Water softener installation typically takes 2 to 6 hours in most Palm Coast homes. We connect the system to your main water line, set up drain connections, and configure the settings for your home size and water hardness level.
Yes, we offer free water testing in Palm Coast. The test takes about 15 minutes and checks for hardness. We have very affordable paid testing to check for iron, pH, chlorine, sulfur, and total dissolved solids. This helps us recommend the right treatment system for your specific water problems.
We serve Palm Coast, Flagler County, Volusia County, St Johns County, and Duval County. This includes Ormond Beach, Daytona Beach, St. Augustine, and Jacksonville areas. We provide water softener installation, repair, and maintenance throughout Northeast Florida.
Annual water softener maintenance is recommended for Palm Coast homes. Regular maintenance includes system cleaning, salt refills, performance testing, and checking internal components. High humidity in Palm Coast can cause faster salt caking, making yearly service important.
We accept all major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. We also accept cash, checks, and offer invoice billing for commercial accounts.
Hard water costs you money every month. Wasted cleaning products. Dead appliances. High energy bills from scale buildup. A water softener stops all of that.
We offer free water testing. No charge. No pressure. We test your water, explain what's in it, and tell you what you need. If you don't need anything, we'll tell you that too.
Our wholesale pricing beats every competitor in Palm Coast. We've guaranteed that since 1996. Family-owned means no salespeople on commission pushing expensive systems you don't need.
Three decades of experience. Certified technicians. Service on all major brands. Your water should feel good and protect your home. Let's make that happen. Stop fighting hard water. Get soft water that works.
