What is the difference between hard water vs soft water? If you live in Tampa, Florida, understanding the distinction can make it easier for you to both identify and address various hard water problems you may be having at home. The term “hard water” simply refers to water that contains high levels of dissolved minerals – typically, calcium and magnesium. Hard water is created whenever water percolates through underground deposits of limestone and chalk. According to the city, the hardness of the Tampa municipal water supply fluctuates between 140 to 300 parts per million. Water is considered hard when mineral concentrations exceed 120 parts per million. At Florida Energy Water & Air, our team is standing by ready to help you say goodbye to hard water problems forever.

Tony Spinney was an awesome installer! He was on time, very pleasant, and explained everything thoroughly. He was very accommodating. He changed the install layout to fit our system in our tiny 1 car garage. So grateful!

Tony, the technician/plumber from Florida Energy Water & Air, was most pleasant, knowledgeable, professional. He arrived on completed the replacement of very old water heater including nearly 100% disappeance of the "knocking noise" in less than an hour, and cleaned up the work area very nicely at the end. I highly recommend his and FEWA to anyone needing these kind of services. Thanks Tony !
