What you are treating sets the starting point
Weston's water arrives from the City of Sunrise already membrane-softened, with a chloramine residual. That usually narrows the choice to:
- Drinking water only: under-sink alkaline RO.
- Chloramine at every tap: a whole-home city water system.
- Both: the most common setup in larger homes.
A softener is less often part of the picture on Weston city water, which keeps many projects simpler than in hard-water areas.
Home factors that move the price
- Peak flow: four or five bathrooms running at once need a larger system than a two-bath townhome.
- Main line location: garage installs are usually simpler than outdoor or tight side-yard installs.
- Irrigation split: keeping sprinklers on unfiltered water may need re-plumbing at the main.
- HOA requirements: enclosures or placement rules in gated communities.
- Pipe material and condition at the connection point.
Chloramine and ongoing costs
Chloramine is harder on carbon than free chlorine. Ask how the media is rated for chloramine, how long it lasts at your water use, and what replacement involves. At the kitchen, ask about RO filter and membrane intervals. See annual cost of owning a whole-home filter.

Wells and irrigation are separate projects
If you want to fix orange staining from a lake, canal or well feeding your sprinklers, that is a separate system on the irrigation line, priced on its own. Don't let it get bundled into a house filter quote without explanation. See iron stains in Weston.
Kitchen-only vs. whole-home: a quick guide
If you mostly notice the chloramine taste in drinking water and coffee, a kitchen RO is the smaller project and may be all you need. If the smell in hot showers bothers you, or you want filtered water at bathroom sinks and the fridge, whole-home filtration addresses that, and the price reflects treating every gallon entering the house. Jorge will show you both options on the same quote when it helps you compare.
