Common Hidden Contaminants in Sarasota Water

Sarasota’s water supply is treated for safety, but several substances can still be present:

  • Chlorine and chloramines are used to disinfect water, but they can also affect the taste and smell.
  • Sediment and Rust: Old pipes or natural minerals can cause cloudiness or buildup.
  • Heavy Metals: Small amounts of lead, copper, or iron may enter water from plumbing.
  • PFAS (Forever Chemicals): Emerging contaminants found in small traces in some water systems.
  • Hard Water Minerals: Calcium and magnesium cause scale buildup, making soap less effective.

Many of these contaminants are invisible, which is why water testing and filtration are crucial.

How Water Filtration Systems Remove Contaminants

There are different filtration options depending on what you want to remove from your water:

1. Carbon Filters

  • Reduce chlorine taste and odor
  • Remove some organic chemicals
  • Improve water clarity and freshness

2. Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems

  • Remove dissolved solids, heavy metals, and PFAS
  • Deliver water that tastes clean and crisp
  • Ideal for drinking and cooking

3. Whole-House Filtration

  • Treats water at the point it enters your home
  • Reduces sediment, chlorine, and common minerals throughout every tap
  • Protects appliances and plumbing

4. Water Softeners

  • Not technically a filter, but it removes hardness minerals
  • Prevents scale buildup and improves cleaning efficiency
  • Often combined with filtration systems for comprehensive care
