Water Filtration in Lakewood Ranch, FL

Get Cleaner and Better-Tasting Water

Everyone wants to feel confident that their water is clean and safe to use. While municipal water goes through a treatment process, our local geology and other factors can still affect its quality. Property owners are also responsible for monitoring the quality of water that comes from private wells, which are not regulated. You might notice issues like a strange taste or smell, or perhaps you see stubborn spots on your dishes. These are signs that your water could benefit from additional treatment.

Types of Water Filtration and Softening Solutions We Offer

We offer a variety of water filtration solutions to address your specific water quality concerns, whether you have a private well or get water from a municipal supply. Our experts at Culligan Water Of Sarasota can help you select the best system for your home or business so that you can enjoy peace of mind whenever you turn on your tap.

Whole-Home Water Filters

A whole-home water filter, also known as a point-of-entry (POE) system, filters water right where it enters your home. This means every tap, shower, and appliance receives filtered water. Whole-home filters can remove a wide variety of contaminants, including chlorine, chloramines, pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, and sediment like dirt and rust.

Filtering your water at the source protects your plumbing and appliances from build-up and corrosion, which helps them last longer. It also promotes healthier skin and hair by removing harsh chemicals that can cause dryness and irritation. Whole-home filters can also improve the taste and smell of your water by eliminating odors caused by chlorine or sulfur.

Whole-Home PFAS Filters

PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a group of man-made chemicals sometimes called "forever chemicals" because they break down very slowly. For a comprehensive solution to these contaminants, we offer whole-home filters that remove up to 99% of PFAS. These systems filter your water at the point it enters your home or business, protecting every tap and water-using appliance.

Reverse Osmosis Filters

Reverse osmosis is a highly effective water purification process that uses pressure to force water through a very fine, semi-permeable membrane. This membrane acts as a barrier, trapping contaminants and allowing clean, treated water to pass through. 

Reverse osmosis systems can remove a wide range of dissolved solids and other contaminants, including lead, arsenic, and nitrates. While a reverse osmosis system is a powerful tool for getting the cleanest drinking water, it is typically a "point-of-use" system, which means it filters water for a single faucet, such as the one at your kitchen sink.

ClearLink™ PRO

The Culligan® ClearLink™ PRO is a convenient and innovative wireless control system that works with a reverse osmosis filter. It eliminates the need to drill a dedicated hole in your countertop for a separate filtered-water faucet. 

With the ClearLink™ PRO, you get filtered water from your main kitchen faucet with the simple push of a button. When you’re done using filtered water, the system switches to unfiltered water, helping you save filtered water and reduce water waste. The system also includes an integrated filter life gauge, which lets you know when to replace your filters, and an LED backlight that indicates when filtered water is flowing. 

Water Softening Systems

Hard water contains a high concentration of dissolved minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, which can cause a variety of problems in your home. Our water softening systems address these issues by removing the hardness minerals from your water supply. These systems use a process called ion exchange, where hard water passes through a tank containing resin beads. The beads attract the calcium and magnesium ions, releasing sodium or potassium ions in their place. This process gives you softened water at every tap. Softening hard water helps prevent scale build-up on pipes and appliances, allows soap to lather more effectively, and leaves your skin and hair feeling smoother.

Signs You Should Consider Installing a Water Filtration or Softening Solution

Identifying problems with your home's water quality is the first step toward finding a solution. Many signs can point to issues with your water supply, from visible warnings like spots on your dishes to problems you cannot see, like the presence of harmful contaminants. 

Consider scheduling a free water test if you notice any of the following issues:

• Unpleasant taste or odor. Your water should not have a noticeable taste or smell. A chlorine smell can indicate a high level of chlorine in your municipal water supply. An earthy or musty smell can point to organic matter, and a rotten egg smell often indicates hydrogen sulfide. A whole-home water filter can remove these contaminants, leaving you with clean, fresh-tasting, and odor-free water.
• Cloudy or discolored water. Water that looks cloudy or has a noticeable color, such as brown, yellow, or rust-colored, is a clear sign that you have contaminants in your water. This discoloration can come from sediment, rust from old pipes, or other particles. A whole-home water filter effectively removes these visual impurities, giving you clear water from every tap.
• Spots on dishes and glassware. If you see cloudy spots, streaks, or a white film on your dishes and glasses even after they come out of the dishwasher, you likely have hard water. These spots are mineral deposits left behind when the water evaporates. A water softening system removes the minerals that cause these spots, giving you cleaner, clearer dishes.
• Stiff or scratchy laundry. Hard water minerals can build up in the fibers of your clothes, making them feel stiff, scratchy, and rough. Over time, this mineral build-up can also cause clothes to fade more quickly. Installing a water softener allows detergents to work more effectively, helping your laundry come out cleaner and feel softer.
• Low water pressure. Mineral scale from hard water can build up inside your pipes over time, narrowing the opening and reducing water flow. This can result in a noticeable drop in water pressure throughout your home. A water softening system prevents this scale from forming, protecting your plumbing and maintaining consistent water pressure.
• Dry skin and hair. The minerals in hard water and other contaminants can leave a residue on your skin and hair, which prevents moisturizers and soaps from working correctly. This can leave your skin feeling dry, itchy, or irritated and your hair looking dull and lifeless. A water softener removes these minerals, helping you achieve softer skin and shinier hair.
• Visible limescale build-up. Limescale is the hard, chalky build-up you see on faucets, showerheads, and inside appliances like your coffee maker or water heater. This white residue is a result of calcium and magnesium deposits from hard water. Seeing this build-up means you have hard water, which a water softener can effectively address.
