The water is a little, not excessively, hard. If you chose a cartridge filter, not much difference in the companies. If you go for a water softener, than do your research. For us, a cartridge system was sufficient.

We have the Nova system, and are completely satisfied. Our tap water when untreated had a heavy chlorine taste/smell. The filtration system took care of that. If you're moderately handy, you can do the annual filter change yourself. I replaced mine at 26,000 gallons, which was right at one year of use. The used sediment filters were a disgusting brown in color, compared to the bright white new ones. Keep in mind, your fridge filter will take care of your drinking water, but you still bathe, wash clothes, and cook in that stuff. If you will be living south of SR44, you will want a whole-house filter system.

Our drinking water, out of the fridge, tasted good before and after installing a Pelican system, which we are very happy with. We chose that system to make it easier to prevent/remove the limestone coating everything without having to add bags of sodium/potassium every month or so.

The refrigerator filter is fine. I don’t have any problems with tap water either. South if 44. Units go on the golf cart side of garage from what I noticed. Make a decision after a few months.

The water is safe to drink, but it's very hard water. The person in your home doing daily cleaning around the faucets, etc will notice a residue or scale wherever water puddles, a ring around the toilet bowl no matter how clean, etc. which is hard to remove. Periodically, I use a de-scaler. I am considering a water conditioner, but it's hard to decide just what to get. Lots of confusing and contradicting info. If you don't mind the slimy feeling when rinsing off in the shower, then a water softener might do.

Nova might be a local company but they know the Villages water, homes and what is actually needed for a reasonable price. The owner actually lives here with us in the Villages. There have been some published issues but many have to do with other factors such as a faulty unmaintained expansion tanks for example. Nova being a local smaller company gives you great service. If there is ever an emergency they come right over day or night. They are highly recommended. The problem with the water in the Villages is it has a fairly high chlorine level so you will smell and taste this right away. That said i would recommend getting the Nova whole house filter to filter the chlorine and sediment from your water and after living in the house for a while, if you feel the water is too hard you can then add a Nova water softener. Hope this helps. |

cartridges Pelican repetitively sent salesman to my home and attempted to extort over $3500 for their system on the first call eventually offering the same for $1200 after several no answers Nova, has one published price, ethical practices, forthright customer service and a superior product at a much lower price I enjoy your posts and usually agree with you, you need to checkout Nova again |
