New to Sarasota water? See the full breakdown β€” City of Sarasota vs Sarasota County, hardness, and PFAS β€” on our Sarasota water treatment & filtration page. Below is what it means specifically for a water softener.

Why Sarasota homes need softening

Most Sarasota homes deal with hard water β€” Sarasota County publishes its hardness at about 7 grains per gallon, firmly in the β€œhard” range. That’s what spots your glasses and shower doors, films your fixtures, and quietly shortens the life of your water heater, dishwasher, and every water-using appliance. A properly sized softener stops new scale from forming β€” and on county water, which is disinfected with chloramine, we pair it with catalytic-carbon filtration so you lose the chemical taste and smell in the same pass.

How our install works

Every install starts with a free in-home water test, so your system is sized to what’s actually in your water β€” never a one-size-fits-all box. The Hydrology tech who tests your water is the same person who installs it β€” no sales-rep-to-subcontractor handoff β€” and the plumbing is done with permanent ProPress connections, not push-on fittings. We use a Clack metered valve that regenerates based on your real water use instead of a timer that wastes salt and water. If a job ever needs a permit, we bring in the licensed plumber we work with.

Equipment, certifications & warranty

We install Puronics softeners, built by publicly traded Franklin Electric and serviced locally by us. The equipment is WQA Gold Seal certified and tested to NSF/ANSI 42 (chlorine and chloramine), 44 (hardness), and 372 (lead-free), with a limited lifetime warranty and a manufacturer-tested capacity rating of 2,000,000 gallons. Flexible financing with low monthly options is available, and checking your rate won’t affect your credit.

Water softeners we’ve installed across Sarasota

We’ve installed 35+ systems across Sarasota and the surrounding county β€” chances are we’re already on a street near you. Because we test and install locally, we know how the water actually behaves here, from the older neighborhoods near the city to the newer communities out east. Ask us who in your area we’ve already taken care of.

Common questions

How hard is Sarasota water? +
It varies by address and source, but most Sarasota homes on city water are hard enough to spot glasses and build scale β€” Sarasota County publishes about 7 grains per gallon. A free in-home test gives your exact number.
Does a water softener remove chlorine or chloramine? +
A softener’s job is hardness. To remove chlorine or chloramine taste and smell you want carbon filtration paired with it β€” and on county water that means catalytic carbon, which is what actually handles chloramine. We build both into the systems we install here.
Will a water softener remove PFAS from my Sarasota water? +
No β€” softeners handle hardness, not PFAS. Reverse osmosis is what removes PFAS at your drinking-water tap. Sarasota County’s own 2025 testing showed PFOA at 3.8 ppt (just under the 4.0 limit), so if that’s on your mind, ask us about adding an RO system.
Salt-free or salt-based β€” which should I get? +
Salt-based systems truly soften water; salt-free systems condition it. Which fits depends on your water and goals, and we’ll walk you through it after testing.
How long does a water softener install take? +
Most installs are done in a few hours by your own local tech, with clean, careful plumbing.
Do you install in Venice, North Port, and the rest of Sarasota County? +
Yes β€” we cover Sarasota and the surrounding county. Tell us your address and we’ll confirm and set up your free in-home test, usually with a same-day reply.

β€œWe’ve had our system now a month and absolutely love it and we can see and feel the difference immediately. My wife is a hair beautician with over 30 years of experience and definitely can tell the difference with the water which is important for hair and skin. Highly recommend this company and look forward to many years of clean, soft and healthy water!”

β€œWow 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. I’m thoroughly impressed with the company and the product!”

β€œI cannot say enough amazing things about this company and system! We had three companies come out and Hydrology stood out on every level. This company is very professional, answered every question we had and even gave us time to think without β€œpressuring” us to buy! Our water is fabulous the taste and feeling it leaves on skin I am wondering how I have went so long without this system! ”
