Common Water Problems in Palm Beach & Broward County Homes

No two homes in South Florida have exactly the same water. A condo on city water in Boca Raton and a ranch on a private well in Loxahatchee face very different problems. Here are the most common ones we see across Palm Beach & Broward County.

Problems by water source

Problem	What you notice	More common on	Learn more
Hard water	Spots, scale, poor lather, stiff laundry	City water and wells	Hard water
Chlorine taste and smell	Pool-like smell, off-tasting drinking water	City water	Chlorine taste
Iron	Orange stains on fixtures, walls, driveways	Wells	Iron staining
Sulfur	Rotten egg smell	Wells	Sulfur smell
Low pressure	Weak flow, no water	Wells	Pump repair
Dry-feeling skin and hair	Tight skin, dull hair after showers	City water and wells	Dry skin & hair

Why problems often come in pairs

South Florida water rarely has just one issue. City water often brings hardness plus chlorine. Well water often brings hardness, iron and sulfur together. That is why a single product off the shelf rarely fixes everything.
