According to our proprietary data, the average total water hardness in Fort Lauderdale is 6.5 grains per gallon (gpg), which falls in the moderately hard range. This means there’s a significant amount of calcium and magnesium in the water here — two minerals that can build up over time and leave behind residue in your pipes, appliances, and fixtures. This buildup can reduce efficiency and potentially shorten the life of your home’s systems if not addressed.

Fort Lauderdale, FL water sources

Water sources

According to a recent report from Florida International University, Fort Lauderdale homeowners are facing significant water quality challenges due to saltwater intrusion into the local freshwater supply. The study reveals that saltwater has intruded approximately one mile inland in parts of the Fort Lauderdale area between 2009 and 2019, threatening the Biscayne Aquifer that supplies drinking water to one in three Floridians. This saltwater intrusion occurs as sea levels rise and underground saltwater seeps through the porous limestone beneath South Florida, compromising the natural freshwater sources that residents depend on.

The research also highlights ongoing concerns with nutrient pollution from agricultural runoff, particularly phosphorus from fertilizers that contribute to harmful algal blooms and water contamination. As the Everglades ecosystem – which naturally filters South Florida’s drinking water – continues to face degradation, its ability to remove these pollutants decreases. The combination of saltwater intrusion and nutrient pollution creates a dual threat to water quality in Fort Lauderdale, making effective water treatment and filtration systems increasingly important for homeowners who want to ensure their families have access to clean, safe drinking water.

Ratings & Reviews

Irina from leaf home water solutions was amazing and instantly solved my water issues. After installing a whole home water filter, my elevated chlorine/chloramine levels dropped to 0. I would highly recommend given the level of professionalism, overall service and higher tier technology (this system has catalytic carbon which lasts much longer than activated carbon and is thus more cost effective). Anthony was amazing at installing this quickly and answered all of my questions.

Nicholas FriedmannVerified Customer

If you’re looking for a great water filtration/softening system from a trustworthy company, look no further. It’s unusual to find a vendor (especially in Florida) these days who not only arrives for their appointment on time but also delivers exactly what they promise. Our salesman Giovanni Russo was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. He explained in detail Leaf Home’s system and the function of each component. At the conclusion of his presentation we made an appointment for installation and we weren’t even required to pay a deposit. The installer arrived exactly when he said he would and treated us to a ‘white glove’ seamless installation. I highly recommend Leaf Home Water Solutions.

Dana JordanVerified Customer

Irina came and tested our water and figured out what size water filter we would need for the whole house. She was very flexible with her schedule to fit us in ASAP. We had a water softener when I was growing up here is So Fl. so I know the importance of taking the chlorine out of the water. The systems have come a long way. We also decided to put an RO filter on our drinking water. I had been using a zero water filter container and the water tasted strange. The water coming through the RO filter is delicious! We went with the pump (vs the container stored under the sink) so we can get unlimited RO water on demand. Chris installed both systems the day after I signed the contract and he was quick and did an awesome job. Water was off for very little time while he was hooking up the house.

My hubby and I had been contemplating on a water system in our home for some time since relocating down to Florida. He mentioned Leaf Home Water Solutions and so we requested a free water test. From start to finish the experience was amazing! After seeing the water test results we knew we had to switch. Irina the rep who came to our home is so awesome and knowledgeable! The installation was scheduled within 2 days and on the day of installation it was handled with the utmost professionalism. The work is impeccable! I love my water. I got the reverse osmosis in my kitchen as well. My water is crisp when I drink it! I highly recommend Leaf Home Water Solutions!

Cynthia SilvestreVerified Customer

I recently had the pleasure of working with Nicholas from Leaf Home Water Solutions for the installation of a whole house filtration system, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient. The installation process was smooth and hassle-free. The team arrived on time, worked diligently, and completed the installation within the estimated timeframe. What truly stood out was their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. They made sure everything was working perfectly and took the time to show me how to maintain the system. Since the installation, the quality of our water has noticeably improved – it’s cleaner, tastes better, and we have peace of mind knowing our family is using safe water for all our needs. I highly recommend Nicholas for anyone considering a whole house filtration system.

Frequently asked questions

  • With Fort Lauderdale’s water hardness at 6.52 grains per gallon, a water softener can help protect your hair and skin. Hard water may reduce soap effectiveness and can contribute to dryness. Our water experts at Leaf Home help provide solutions that may restore balance for softer, healthier-looking hair.

  • Unfiltered water can contain chlorine, heavy metals, and other contaminants that impact taste, odor, and quality. A water filtration system helps remove these unwanted elements, so every sip, rinse, and wash is cleaner, fresher, and better for your home and health.

  • Water filters and water softeners both help improve water quality by removing certain unwanted materials. Water filters focus on contaminants and chemicals, and often work by forcing water through some kind of barrier to trap debris and allow only cleaner, clearer water to pass through. Water softeners, on the other hand, work more like a magnet, pulling away minerals and impurities that cause hard water.

  • If your water has a strange taste, odor, or discoloration, it might be time to filter it. Other signs include cloudy water, buildup on faucets, or reports of contaminants in your local water supply. The best way to determine whether you need water treatment is to schedule a free water test from our local office in Fort Lauderdale.

  • Reverse osmosis (RO) is a drinking water purification process that helps remove unwanted substances from tap water by pushing water through a special barrier called a semipermeable membrane. This barrier blocks heavy metals (like lead), arsenic, PFAS, chlorine, and chemicals, so only purified water is passed through. The result is water with 99.9% of all contaminants, sediments, and particles removed, making crisper, cleaner, and safer drinking water.
