What’s really in your Lakewood Ranch water
Lakewood Ranch straddles the Manatee–Sarasota county line, so your water depends on which side your home sits on. Here’s the honest breakdown of both.
- Source: Lake Manatee (surface water)
- Hardness: about 8 grains per gallon — moderately hard; enough to scale fixtures and dull soap
- Disinfection: chloramine (chlorine + ammonia)
- PFAS: Manatee County tested all 29 PFAS in its 2024 UCMR5 round — every one came back below the lab’s reporting level
- Source: Peace River blend
- Hardness: about 7 grains per gallon — hard enough to notice on glass and skin
- Disinfection: chloramine
- PFAS: published at the Carlton plant — PFOA about 3.8 ppt, just under the 4.0 ppt limit
Both counties disinfect with chloramine, and that decides the right system: chloramine takes more contact time to remove than plain chlorine, so catalytic carbon is the correct filter — not the standard mixed-bed carbon most companies install. A properly sized softener handles the 7–8 grains of hardness on either side of the line. A softener does not remove PFAS — only reverse osmosis does — so if PFAS is your concern, we pair the whole-home system with an RO drinking-water unit.
The honest part: published county averages are a starting point, not your actual tap. Hardness and taste vary house to house, and neither county publishes a number for your specific home — which is why we test your water free, on-site, before recommending anything.
