Water Filter Worth Purchasing!

[2BNTV]

As everyone knows that when you first move here, you are inundated with water filtration company calls trying to sell system that may cost a lot of money. Sticking with the tried and true method of asking people I trust for referrals, I was referred to "Jimbo2012", for the Nova Water Filtration system.

I was using mostly tap water that had an after-taste, that left a lot to be desired. I decided to buy the water filtration system that Jimbo sells, and installs.

Jimbo installed the system, and he did an excellent job. It is installed in the garage with the incoming water line, so there is no bulky apparatus by the sink. Actually, all of the water coming into the house is filtered.

Now my guest don't ask for bottled water as the tap water is filtered and taste great.

I highly recommend this system and the excellent job that Jimbo performed. You can always PM him, on this forum.

Taste great and is less filing!!!

[pooh]

I agree, too....the water is great now.

That was the company I put in my favorites bar to call when we get there full time; good to hear another good review. Thanks.

Bob did my home yesterday. Nice to be able to drink from any of the faucets. Great guy as well as serving as President of the Long Island Club.

I had the Nova system installed last year and can say it is the best addition I made to the home. Water taste great, no scale in the shower, less detergent used and the filters last a long time w/o replacing them. The unit has a pressure gauge where the water enters the filters and there is another gauge after the filters. This way you do not have to guess as to when to change the filters. Once the pressure drops by 10 or more pounds at the second gauge, it's time to replace them. We haven't had to change them yet but will get them from Bob when the time comes!

Love our Nova installed last year. No more smelly, icky tasting water in the house.
Dollar for dollar the Best deal we found. We tried it at a friends home first and were convinced this was the best way to go.

[Bay Kid]

Jim will be at my home in 40 minutes for an install! Can't wait.

[GinTom]

so who is this company? Do they have a web site?

We will probably be down sometime in July - will you be making appointments during the summer months, Bob? If I remember correctly, last summer you were not, that's why I'm asking. Would love to get a system put in while we're there.

For what it's worth, I went a different route............I went with a Pelican whole house filtration system. Love it. For those who want to, worth investigating.

[Nova Filtration]

Sure check it out but the carbon is not the same type, the sediment filters are not the same.

As many have stated here on the forum the Nova Triple works very well at $495

Should be here most of the time, not an issue

Great! Will give you a call in advance to set up a time once we settle on the dates that we'll be there.

[eremite06]

We are very happy with Bob's filters.

[TNLAKEPANDA]

The NOVA whole house system is one of the best purchases we have made and definitely the most used! No more smelly water and the now filtered water taste great right out of the tap. We only keep bottled water for emergencies.

[gerryh1943]

I completely agree. The Nova Filter is the most cost effective solution I found. Our previous Villages home had water softener/filter in garage, and reverse osmosis under kitchen sink. It worked very well, but at a much higher cost. Jim's system is the best bang for my buck. And his followup service, if ever needed, is admirable.

I am in MN but retiring to TV, Do people have water softeners down there or need them ?

[tuccillo]

Many people have water softeners as the water is hard at about 12 grains per gallon measured at my house. It is really a personal choice as to whether you like soft water. The chlorine level is also high and the water is funky tasting to me but that is also a matter of personal choice. A carbon filter will remove the chlorine. I suggest you see whether you like the water and if not do a little research. The water is safe to use. Good luck with the move.

[jimbo2012]

the water is not that hard it measures 10.5 all over the villages.

The water as it is is not safe by true water quality standards.

Do a search here for Nova, you will read the results of many satisfied owners

[tuccillo]

Please quote the EPA water quality standards that state that the water in The Villages is not safe to drink. While the EPA is not perfect at least they have science behind their standards.

The hardness at my house is 12 grains per gallon based on a titration test, your results could be different. Regardless, anything over 10 grains per gallon is considered hard to very hard. Many people prefer soft water and it's benefits. It is, as I stated, a personal preference.

We had our system installed last week and the difference in the water is remarkable for drinking, washing and also in the dishwasher.

Thanks for taking the time to comment

[TrudyM]

The water may be safe but there is something in it I am allergic to. When we close on our house I will have to get a filtration system and hope what is bothering me will be filtered out. Every morning after I shower my eyes water for hours. If I wear swim goggles they don't so I have concluded there is something in the water bothering my eyes. If the filter doesn't do the trick I will be SOL.

You will also find cleaning your baths, shower, sinks, etc to be much easier since scale buildup is minimized.

[tuccillo]

Scale (white buildup on appliances) comes from the hardness in the water (calcium and magnesium ions). Unless you have a sodium chloride/potassium chloride based water softener or one the so-called "salt free" conditioners (aka TAC water conditioners) you will still get scale buildup if you have hard water. I don't know anyone with a TAC water conditioner so I am not sure how effective their crystallization technology is. Sodium chloride/potassium chloride water softeners are very effective in scale reduction as they drive the water hardness to zero.

[tuccillo]

It could be the chlorine in the water. It is pretty high at about 1.5 ppm. Do your eyes bother you in a chlorinated pool (not sure how "salt water pools" work - not all pools are chlorinated)? If not, then you may want to see an allergy specialist. If so, I would suspect the chlorine. A carbon filter will remove the chlorine.

Nova sounds like a great system. Would like to know are you a licensed plumber and do you have insurance.

All I'll say, without naming a brand, is that we have a potassium based R/O unit no scale buildup, no heavy metals in the water, and several jealous neighbors. Anyone with a neurological condition especially need to be sure they are eliminating heavy metals from their water supply.

[tuccillo]

When you say "potassium based" R/O, that implies a water softener using potassium chloride on the whole house water supply and an R/O on the kitchen sink, perhaps?? Yes, R/O systems take everything out - leave you with pure water and no dissolved solids. My dad has an R/O but only on the kitchen sink. To do a R/O for the entire house would cost a small fortune which is why they are typically only done for the kitchen sink. My dad's setup is pretty nice - probably a lot like yours??? Carbon filter to remove chlorine, water softener to remove hardness, and R/O on the kitchen sink - for cooking, coffee. Unfortunately they don't have the refrig water supply off of the R/O system - too hard to run the pipe to the refrig with a slab ranch.

I'd also like to know the same.
And I'd like to know the location of your storefront.

Water softener gone Nova system installed. Great water at last!

[tuccillo]

Water softeners and filters target two different issues. You now have a filter to remove sediment/chlorine. Chlorine gives water it's gnarly taste. A water softener removes hardness, which you can't taste but contributes to scale build-up, glass etching, using more soap, dry skin, etc. Many people have both since they address two different issues. Many people have neither. Many people have just one. Many people buy a "hybrid system" that contains both a water softener and a filter to remove sediment/chlorine.
