GE Water Filtration Alternatives in South Florida

What you are comparing against

GE Appliances' website lists whole-house filtration, reverse osmosis, single- and dual-stage systems, kitchen and shower filters, in-line refrigerator filters and salt-based softeners. Its buying guide stresses easy cartridge swaps and third-party certification from NSF, IAPMO or WQA. GE-brand systems are also listed on The Home Depot's website. These are retail products: you choose the model and handle or arrange installation.

Alternatives at a glance

The Living Water option

• Equipment: Puronics, a water treatment manufacturer since 1947.
• City water: whole-home purification (Puronics Clarius iGen and Goodspring), which Living Water describes as removing chlorine and chloramine.
• Hard water: ion-exchange softening for homes and businesses.
• Drinking water: multi-stage alkaline reverse osmosis under the sink with a dedicated faucet.
• Wells: treatment configured from the well's own test.
• Start: a free in-home water test with Jorge Canela, with professional installation and an itemized quote.
• Financing: available through Living Water's financing partners with a credit application; a co-applicant can apply with you.

When a retail unit may be enough, and when it may not

• Likely enough: you only want better-tasting drinking water at one sink, or you need a refrigerator filter.
• Worth a closer look: chlorine or chloramine odor in the shower, scale on glass and fixtures, orange stains from a well, or a sulfur smell. Those usually call for whole-home treatment sized from a test.
• Ask your utility: its annual Water Quality Report (Consumer Confidence Report) shows which disinfectant it uses and what it tested for.

Questions to ask before you decide

1. Has anyone tested my water, or am I guessing?
2. Is the exact model certified for the contaminant I care about? Check the listing.
3. How many filter changes per year, and who will do them?
4. Does installation need a permit where I live?
5. Is the quote itemized, and is the warranty in writing?
