Reverse osmosis removes 95–99% of dissolved contaminants from South Florida water — including fluoride, nitrates, arsenic, PFAS, lead, and chloramines. WaterLux installs under-sink and whole house RO systems across Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade counties, starting at $400.
Reverse osmosis forces water through a semi-permeable membrane with pores 0.0001 microns wide — small enough to block virtually all dissolved contaminants. South Florida's Biscayne Aquifer water typically tests at 200–500 PPM total dissolved solids; WaterLux RO systems reduce this to under 20 PPM, producing water cleaner than most bottled brands.
