Why the job is narrower here
Water from the Hood Road plant has been through nanofiltration or low-pressure reverse osmosis. Those membranes remove most of the hardness and much of the dissolved material that drives equipment choices elsewhere in South Florida. Disinfection byproducts are also low: TTHM at 7.9 ppb and HAA5 at 6.5 ppb in 2025. What remains noticeable is the disinfectant that Seacoast adds on purpose to protect the water on its way through nearly 500 miles of mains.
A steady chloramine level
Seacoast's 2025 results for chloramine ranged only from 3.6 to 3.8 ppm. That is close to the 4 ppm maximum residual level and very consistent. For a homeowner, a steady level makes sizing straightforward: the media has to handle a reliable load of around 3.7 ppm every day, not occasional spikes.
What a whole-home system does
- Reduces chloramine at every tap, shower and appliance plumbed after it.
- Gives a more neutral taste and smell throughout the house.
- Replaces a scattering of shower and faucet cartridges with one maintenance point.
Living Water installs Puronics Clarius iGen and Goodspring systems for city water and describes them as removing chloramine and chlorine. For anything else, check the exact model's certification.
Sizing for Palm Beach Gardens homes
- Peak flow: chloramine needs contact time, so the tank must match the number of fixtures running at once.
- Main line location: garage, side yard or mechanical room, and space for a bypass.
- Irrigation: landscapes on reclaimed water or a private irrigation well should stay off the system.
- Community rules: some communities regulate outdoor equipment placement.
Pairing with drinking water
Seacoast's water is already low in dissolved minerals, so many families find a whole-home system alone makes the tap pleasant to drink. Others add an under-sink alkaline RO for cooking and drinking, or for a specific certified reduction claim. See best drinking water system for a Palm Beach Gardens home.
Questions to ask any installer
- Is the media rated for chloramine, not just chlorine taste and odor?
- What flow is it sized for?
- How often is it serviced, and what does service include?
- Does it need a drain or power at the install spot?
