Water filtration on Lido Key, St. Armands & Bird Key
These islands are on City of Sarasota water. The city already softens it at the plant, so most homes here want the chlorine taste gone and better drinking water. We quote a flat price in writing and install in a day.
What we see in Lido Key, St. Armands & Bird Key homes.
- 01
Chlorine taste
The city disinfects with free chlorine. A whole-house carbon filter takes the pool smell out of every tap and shower.
- 02
Byproducts
Chlorinated water can carry disinfection byproducts (TTHMs). Carbon reduces much of them.
- 03
Drinking water
An under-sink reverse osmosis (RO) drinking water system reduces PFAS, lead and dissolved solids and replaces bottled water.
Most homes here start with the Whole-house filter + Drinking Water, because the city already softens the water. Your utility's report and a quick call settle the final design. See all the systems and prices, or take the one-minute quiz. See whole-house filtration and the drinking water system, and read up on PFAS.
Every quote puts the price in writing, and the price on the quote is the price on the invoice. Standard parts and fittings mean any plumber can service it. How to compare water companies.
Your address decides your water.
Lido Key, St. Armands and Bird Key are inside Sarasota city limits, so the water comes from the City of Sarasota: deep Floridan aquifer wells, treated by reverse osmosis and softening at the plant, then disinfected with free chlorine.
Because the city softens it, many homes here don't need a softener at all. What people notice is the chlorine: the smell in the shower, the taste at the kitchen tap. A whole-house carbon filter handles that at every tap, and an under-sink drinking water system takes care of what you drink and cook with. We'll tell you honestly if a softener isn't worth it for your house.
Many homes here are condos or bayfront houses close to salt water. We use corrosion-resistant fittings, keep equipment inside and out of sight, plan around flood elevation, and work with your association's rules when there is one.

What Lido Key homeowners ask us.
Do I need a water softener on City of Sarasota water?
Often not. The city softens its water at the plant, so most homes here care more about chlorine taste and drinking water than scale. We'll look at your home and tell you straight if a softener isn't worth the money.
I'm in a condo. Can I still get filtration?
Usually. If the association doesn't allow whole-home equipment or there's no room for it, an under-sink reverse osmosis (RO) drinking water system and a shower filter cover what you drink and touch most. We'll look at your association's rules with you before you buy anything.
Will the equipment be on show?
No. We put the tanks in the garage, a utility room or under an elevated home, run the lines neatly, and leave nothing visible from the street. We use corrosion-resistant fittings near the water and plan where the tanks go with flood elevation in mind.
We're only here part of the year. Is that a problem?
No. The softener's metered valve only recharges when water has actually been used, so it doesn't waste salt or water while the house sits empty. When you come back after a few months away, run each tap for a few minutes to flush water that sat in the pipes. If a house watcher or property manager looks after the place, we can schedule the install and yearly service with them.
What does reverse osmosis actually remove?
Reverse osmosis (RO) is an under-sink drinking water system that pushes water through a very fine membrane. RO (drinking water) membranes reduce PFAS, lead, arsenic, nitrate, fluoride and most dissolved solids. Certification is claim by claim, so we install systems certified under NSF/ANSI 58 for the specific contaminants you care about, and we'll show you the listing.
Nobody is coming to sit at your kitchen table.
Most companies want to come test your water so they can sit at your table and sell. We don't need to: your utility publishes exactly what's in it, every year. The one visit before install day is a short look at where your water comes in, so the price we put in writing covers any extra plumbing work.
