If you have hard water, Snowbird Heating & Cooling recommends a water softener in Davenport, FL. A point-of-entry system will soften all your water before it enters your home. That will protect your pipes, water heater, dishwasher, washing machine, and more from the effects of excess minerals. You may want to expand your system with whole-house water filtration as well. A water purifier will give you peace of mind your family is drinking and cooking with healthy water all the time. No matter your water treatment needs, Snowbird Heating & Cooling plumbers do it all.
"Our recent experience with Snowbird exceeded our expectations. Skylar did an excellent job determining the issues with our unit and explaining the pros and cons of repairing vs replacing it. They were very kind, courteous and respectful of our property by cleaning up after they were done. Do not hesitate to call Snowbird!"

Some of the most comprehensive products on the market include water softening and purification in one system. Generally, these are on-demand systems. That means that the unit is softening and filtering your water as you request it. On-demand systems are convenient because you get treated water from every faucet and tap, as treatment happens as the water enters your home. That said, they’re more challenging to size. The flow rate in gallons per minute must exceed your household’s peak demand. Otherwise, you’ll experience low water pressure and other issues.
Whether water is hard or not depends on the amount of calcium and magnesium in it. This affects the taste and the texture, changing water’s flavor for drinking, making coffee or tea, and cooking. The even bigger problem with hard water is that it builds up in pipes and appliances over time. It can lower your water pressure and decrease the efficiency of water-using appliances, causing more wear and tear. We install softeners that remove hard water minerals and prevent limescale build-up.
The role of a whole-house water purification system is to remove substances that are potentially harmful to people and pets. Most purifiers have a sediment filter to remove silt and other particulate matter. It’s common for these systems to have some form of adsorbent filtration, such as activated carbon. The carbon will capture unpleasant tastes and smells along with gases and chemicals on its surface.
There can be bacteria, viruses, and parasites in your water as well. Sediment filters with a small pore size can remove a lot of it. But if you want to remove over 99%, opt for a system with a UV lamp, which gives off a germicidal light.
Whole-house water filtration can remove many substances from your water:
Pathogens
Pharmaceuticals
Dirt and heavy metals
Chlorine and chloramine
Pesticides and herbicides
