What’s really in your Sarasota water

It depends on your address β€” and the difference changes what your system should do.

City of Sarasota
Source: Floridan-aquifer wells, treated by reverse osmosis & softening
Disinfection: free chlorine
Hardness: softened at the plant (still varies by home)
Good to know: no lead service lines; no PFAS detected
Sarasota County Utilities
Source: a blend of the Peace River / Manasota Regional supply, Manatee County, and the county’s Carlton plant
Disinfection: chloramine (chlorine + ammonia)
Hardness: about 7 grains per gallon (county-published) β€” β€œhard”
Good to know: publishes its own PFAS results

Which one you’re on depends on your address, and it changes what your system should do. County water is disinfected with chloramine, which needs catalytic carbon to remove β€” standard carbon barely touches it. City of Sarasota water is on free chlorine, where standard carbon is fine. We match the filtration to your actual address, not a template, and the free in-home test tells us exactly what you’re working with.

On PFAS, Sarasota County is one of the few local utilities that publishes its own results. Their 2025 testing showed PFOA at the Carlton plant at 3.8 parts per trillion, just under the EPA’s 4.0 limit (PFOS at 2.4) β€” compliant, but close to the line. A water softener does not remove PFAS; reverse osmosis does. If that’s on your mind, we’ll show you the county’s own data at your free test and can add an RO system for your drinking water. See Sarasota County’s water division.

What we most often find in Sarasota homes

Every job starts with a free on-site test β€” here’s what typically shows up around Sarasota, and what fixes it.

Spotty glasses & scale
Hard water spots glasses and chrome, and films skin and hair.
Chlorine / chloramine taste & smell
Your utility disinfects with chloramine β€” catalytic carbon or RO removes the taste and odor.
Shorter appliance life
Scale builds inside your water heater, dishwasher and fixtures, cutting their lifespan.

Sarasota water β€” common questions

Who provides Sarasota’s water?
Sarasota is served by the City of Sarasota’s own utility β€” well water treated by reverse osmosis and ion-exchange softening.
Is Sarasota water hard?
The City of Sarasota treats water with reverse osmosis and softening, so delivered water is soft-to-moderate β€” but taste and chlorine still vary by home. We test yours free.
Do you service Sarasota?
Yes β€” we’ve installed 35+ systems in Sarasota, and we offer a free in-home water test with a same-day reply.
Why is my water softener not working in Sarasota?
Common causes are a salt bridge in the brine tank, a fouled resin bed, a stuck valve, or settings lost after a power outage β€” if spots and scale come back, that’s the sign. Our own techs diagnose and repair softeners and filtration systems throughout Sarasota and the Suncoast. Call or text 941-266-8991.
Do you deliver water softener salt in Sarasota?
Yes β€” we offer salt delivery in Sarasota so you don’t have to buy, haul, and lift 40-lb bags yourself. It’s a convenient add-on for busy or larger households. Ask when you book your free in-home water test.
How long does a water softener installation take in Sarasota?
A typical install in Sarasota runs a few hours the same day, and our own tech does it β€” the person who tests your water is the one who sets up the system, no subcontractor handoff. For any job that needs a permit, we bring in the licensed plumber we work with.
Is Sarasota on city or county water β€” and does it matter?

Both exist here. The City of Sarasota runs its own utility (free chlorine, RO-treated wells), while much of the surrounding area is served by Sarasota County Utilities (chloramine). It changes the filtration that makes sense, so we test your specific address.

Does Sarasota water have PFAS?

Sarasota County publishes its own results β€” PFOA measured 3.8 ppt at the Carlton plant in 2025, just under the EPA’s 4.0 limit (PFOS 2.4). Compliant, but close. Softeners don’t remove PFAS; reverse osmosis does.

Why does catalytic carbon matter in Sarasota?

Because Sarasota County water is treated with chloramine, and standard activated carbon barely removes chloramine β€” catalytic carbon does. On City of Sarasota (free chlorine) water it matters less. We match the carbon to your water.

Do you cover Venice, North Port and the rest of Sarasota County?

Yes β€” we serve Sarasota and the surrounding county. Tell us your address and we’ll confirm and set up your free in-home test, usually same-day.
