Hard Water vs Soft Water – How Knowing the Difference Can Benefit You in Tampa, FL

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.

Excellent company, thorough, responsive, and all around amazing!! I'm so happy with my new A/C unit, attic turbine, and solar hot water heater. It has already saved me money on my electric bill.

This company worked very hard to remove my very old water heater. They did an excellent job installing my new one. Very professional, and kind. Willing to answer my questions also. Thank you.

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% disappearance 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!

My experience with the team at Florida Energy Water & Air has been very positive throughout the whole process. I purchased the water treatment and air purification systems for my new home. Jack, the sales representative, did a very impressive job making the 2-hour demo fun, engaging, and interesting. I had no idea how much time had passed until it was over because he did such a great job keeping my attention. The installation was performed by Robenson a few hours later that same day! He was very professional and did a great job with the installation. I wasn’t a big fan of drilling a hole through my garage to run the water pipe, but he made the hole as small as possible and it looks like the house was built that way. He and his partner did a great job cleaning up after themselves. Finally, John was very friendly, professional, informative, and helpful during the post-installation quality inspection. Overall, it has been a very positive experience.
