I recently installed the Nova Whole House Water Filtration System. The company did an excellent installation. Prompt and reasonably priced at $599.00 installed.

I thought the saying was "Happy Wife, Miserable Beta Male" :)

172 mg/L is not bad...Excellent for Florida.

Since this thread is along the lines of water filtration.....I inherited a Villages house that has a water softener system. Unfortunately, no paperwork is available to learn how it works, but I do know the salt has to be refilled when the container gets to a certain level. Water is soft inside house and I understand how some folks might not like the slimy feeling after a shower. But even after ~17 years, the faucets all look brand new! Can anyone recommend a company to come out and evaluate it? To be honest, I'm not even sure what brand it is! But it works!!

IMHO, our GE fridge filter gives us the best tasting drinking water, right along with the great taste of Fiji bottled water. Most other bottled water, to me, has an awful taste. I would recommend some sort of gizmo to remove the calcium our hard water has. A scale blaster looks like it would work to keep the pipes free of scale build up. I really have to look into this.

Does anyone have one of these scale blasters installed in their home? If so, how is it working for you?

This is the system I have had installed for 2 years now. I did my research, and the filters in this system filter to lower microns than the Nova system. I installed myself in about 4 hours with a bypass.

I find the water in our area to be pretty good, but with the whole house filter, the water is excellent for drinking - better than many of the bottled waters I have tried. I am a home brewer, so a good water supply is crucial for good beer!

I added an electronic water conditioner as well (the Scale Blaster). It doesn't remove calcium, but makes the calcium clump up into larger particles. You don't notice the particles in the water, but it doesn't stick to the fixtures like it used to! Calcium is not bad for you - it just tends to leave tough to clean stains on all your fixtures.

Nova will not try to sell you a water softener. They have them available for people (like me) who are used to the softer water that they've lived with for a while.

Whole House Filter
 

In October 2019 Kiley and Sons installed a whole house sediment and carbon filtration system. I have been extremely pleased - no more chlorine tasting water. I don't use the Brita water pitcher now. It also saves on the refrigerator water filter as I only replace it about once a year now. The installer was efficient and provided a house cutoff within easy reach. Both filters can be purchased from Kiley or Amazon.

We bought a house that had a Nova system and we are very happy with it. My husband was planning on putting in a reverse osmosis and running a line to the fridge (so he could have better ice). I talked him into waiting and seeing what he thinks of the water here with the Nova. We both think that the water tastes great. I love not having a tank under my sink like with the reverse osmosis system.

Is there any place nearby to have water tested by an independent lab?
