Whole-Home Water Filtration in Coral Springs

Same disinfectant, different water

All three provider reports we reviewed list chloramines, at averages of 2.7 ppm (City, 2025), 2.9 ppm (CSID, 2024) and 3.66 ppm (NSID, 2024), each below the 4.0 maximum. The water behind that disinfectant is different:

• City of Coral Springs: lime-softened Biscayne Aquifer water. The 2025 report lists total dissolved solids at 194 ppm.
• CSID: mostly reverse osmosis water, with 10 to 15 percent blended back to add alkalinity and hardness.
• NSID: nanofiltration and reverse osmosis, from Biscayne and Floridan Aquifer water.

So the chloramine stage is common to most homes, while a softening stage is something to decide from the test, not assume.

What Living Water installs

Living Water's city water systems use Puronics equipment, a manufacturer since 1947. The Clarius iGen and Goodspring systems are described by Living Water as removing chloramine and chlorine for the whole house. Options:

• Chloramine and taste/odor filtration for every tap.
• A softening stage only if the test shows hardness worth treating.
• An under-sink alkaline RO for drinking water.

See the city water system page.

Installation in a Coral Springs house

In a single-family house with a garage, main-line installation is usually straightforward; townhomes take more planning. Jorge checks:

• Where the main line enters and space for the tanks.
• A drain and outlet, if the system needs them.
• Whether irrigation branches off before the house, so sprinkler water is not filtered unnecessarily.
• The bypass valve location for service.

During the July chlorination period

Each July the four Coral Springs providers temporarily change their chlorination method; in 2026, July 13 to 27. You may notice a chlorine taste or odor, and hydrant flushing can cause temporary discoloration and lower pressure. A carbon-based whole-home system keeps handling chlorine during those weeks. If water is discolored, run cold water until it clears and wait before doing laundry.

Before you buy

• Ask which contaminants the exact model is certified to reduce, under which NSF/ANSI standard.
• Ask for the rated capacity and flow rate.
• Ask how and when media is replaced.
• Get an itemized quote: equipment, labor and plumbing separately.

Do you need it?

Not to meet standards; your provider's water already does. Most people choose whole-home filtration for the way water smells in the shower, tastes from any faucet and feels in laundry. If your only concern is drinking water, an under-sink RO may be enough. See whole-house vs. under-sink.
