Sarasota whole-home filtration
Whole-home water filtration
in Sarasota.
We have installed more than 35 systems in Sarasota. The same local tech who tests your water installs the system. No subcontractors.
One system, every tap
Whole-home means treated water everywhere — shower, kitchen, laundry — not just one faucet. Softening for the hardness plus catalytic carbon for the chloramine, in a single pass.
What whole-home filtration actually needs to handle in Sarasota
Your water comes from City of Sarasota, disinfected with free chlorine — no chloramine, at softened at the plant, so we measure at your tap. Because it is free chlorine rather than chloramine, a plain GAC filter does the job here and catalytic carbon earns nothing.
Sequence matters more than brand. Carbon first, to take out the disinfectant and to stop it shortening the life of the resin behind it. Then the softener, sized to your actual grain figure rather than a regional average. On a well the order changes again: iron and sulfur come out before hardness, never after.
One limit: chloramine reduction is a design claim, not a certification. NSF/ANSI 42 covers chlorine taste and odor. There is no chloramine certification to hold up, and anyone showing you one is overselling — including us, if we ever do.
Locally: downtown and the older neighborhoods often mean a tight side-yard or a utility closet rather than a garage, and we check the main size on the pre-war homes before quoting.
Figures are from City of Sarasota’s own published water quality report. Where a utility does not publish something, we say so rather than estimate it. The water test is free and carries no obligation.

Built for Sarasota water
Sarasota County runs about 7 grains per gallon and disinfects with chloramine, so we size the softener and the carbon bed to handle both. City of Sarasota (free chlorine) is treated a little differently — we match it to your address.
The systems we install
Our flagship Puronics Defender 30C or the value Hydrology Essentials, both sized to your water. Want PFAS handled at the drinking tap too? We add reverse osmosis.
Systems we install
Sized to your water after a free test — not a one-size-fits-all box.

“I cannot say enough amazing things about this company and system! We had three companies come out and Hydrology stood out on every level.”
“We’ve had our system now a month and absolutely love it. My wife is a hair beautician with over 30 years of experience and definitely can tell the difference with the water.”
“Wow, I can definitely feel a difference in my hair, skin, and when I wash my hands. I knew getting a water softener was a priority and I’m so glad I decided to go with Hydrology.”

What hard water does to a home: the Battelle study →
What does whole-home filtration do? +
It treats every tap in the house — softening hardness and filtering chlorine/chloramine taste and odor — instead of just one faucet.
Softener or whole-home system — what’s the difference? +
A softener handles hardness; a whole-home system adds catalytic-carbon filtration for chlorine/chloramine. Most Sarasota homes want both, in one system.
Does it cover my drinking water? +
It improves every tap. For the highest-purity drinking water (and PFAS reduction), we add a reverse-osmosis unit at the kitchen.
Why does catalytic carbon matter in Sarasota? +
Because county water is chloraminated, and standard carbon barely removes chloramine — catalytic carbon does.
How much does a whole-home system cost? +
It depends on your water and home. We test first, quote transparently, and offer financing with low monthly options.
