Watch-fors
What households usually check
- hardness and calcium scale
- chlorine / chloramine taste
- private-well bacteria and hydrogen sulfide odor
- saltwater intrusion / high TDS on coastal wells
Steps
A practical path
- 1Find your Florida utility CCR and note disinfectant residual and any secondary aesthetic complaints.
- 2Well owners: test coliform and nitrate at a certified lab; strips are screening only.
- 3For drinking water, match carbon (taste) vs RO (dissolved ions / TDS) to the lab line items.
- 4Shower filters address chlorine feel — they are not drinking-water health filters.
