South Florida's water ranks among the hardest in the nation — 14–22 GPG from the Biscayne Aquifer. WaterLux installs salt-based and salt-free softener systems that protect your plumbing, extend appliance life, and eliminate scale buildup across Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade counties.
South Florida tap water averages 14–22 GPG (240–375 PPM) of dissolved calcium and magnesium — the Biscayne and Surficial Aquifers that supply Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade counties produce some of the hardest municipal water in the United States. WaterLux has treated this specific water chemistry since 2011 and configures every system to the hardness levels at your address.
WaterLux offers three categories of water softening systems starting at $1,200 installed, all sized specifically for South Florida's 14–22 GPG hardness range. Every system includes a free pre-installation water analysis, professional installation, and a 1-year service warranty.
Best for: Most South Florida homes. Uses ion exchange to completely remove calcium and magnesium. Highest performance for very hard water (18+ GPG). Requires periodic salt refills every 4–8 weeks.
Best for: Renters, those with sodium dietary restrictions, or eco-conscious homeowners. Uses Template-Assisted Crystallization (TAC) to neutralize scale without removing minerals. No salt, no wastewater, no electricity.
Best for: Larger homes (3,000+ sq ft), high-water-use households, or homes with 20+ GPG hardness. Ensures 24/7 soft water — one tank regenerates while the other is in service. Zero downtime.
A water softener reduces water heater energy use, extends appliance life, and cuts soap/detergent costs. Most South Florida homeowners recoup their investment through energy and product savings within 3–5 years.
