What a whole-home system addresses here
- Disinfectant taste and odor: the 2025 report shows a highest running annual average of 2.6 ppm, with samples up to 3.7 ppm.
- Color from natural organics: the City reported a secondary-standard color reading of 20 units against a standard of 15. Carbon media is commonly used for organic color, taste and odor.
- Comfort at every tap: showers and laundry, not just the kitchen.
What it is not for: Lauderhill water is already lime softened at the plant, so a whole-home filter is not a softener, and it does not replace a certified drinking water system for specific contaminants.
Chlorine or chloramine? Test before you buy
Lauderhill's report lists its disinfectant as chlorine and describes the plant's process as disinfection without naming the chemical form. Some South Florida utilities use free chlorine and many use chloramine, which needs different media. Jorge measures free and total chlorine at your tap; a big gap between the two points to combined chlorine. That reading decides the media, so the system is matched to what is actually in your pipes.

The systems Living Water installs
Living Water installs Puronics whole-home systems for city water, the Clarius iGen and Goodspring lines, which Living Water describes as removing chloramine and chlorine. Puronics has made water treatment equipment since 1947. Product details are on the city water system page.
Sizing for a Lauderhill house
Lauderhill has everything from Inverrary single-family homes to townhomes and garden condos. For a whole-home system the questions are the same:
- How many bathrooms run at once at peak time?
- What size is the main line and where does it enter?
- Is there room at the entry point, and an outdoor or garage location protected from the sun?
- Does your irrigation tap off before or after the filter? Filtering sprinkler water wastes media.
In a condo, the association usually controls the main, so an under-sink system is often the right answer instead.
Pairing with drinking water
Many households add under-sink alkaline reverse osmosis at the kitchen for drinking and cooking. The whole-home filter improves every tap; the RO system goes further on the water you drink. Compare them on whole-house filtration vs. reverse osmosis.
