Most people who move into a new home in DeLuna don’t expect water to be the first problem they deal with. But the Floridan Aquifer — the groundwater source feeding The Villages’ district utility — delivers water that commonly measures between 180 and 400 PPM of hardness. That’s just what limestone geology does to water, and it starts leaving its mark on your fixtures, dishwasher, water heater, and shower glass within months of move-in.
When that’s corrected with a properly designed whole-house filtration system, the difference is immediate and lasting. Your appliances stop collecting scale. Your water tastes and smells clean. Your skin and hair feel different after a shower. And the water heater you just paid to have installed doesn’t spend the next decade fighting mineral buildup that quietly cuts its lifespan short.
There’s also the health side of this. The Environmental Working Group’s tap water database has detected trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids, and a PFAS compound in the Villages of Lake-Sumter water treatment system. These are disinfection byproducts and forever chemicals that form or persist in treated municipal water. They’re within federal legal limits — but federal legal limits and health-optimized water are two very different things. A whole-house carbon filtration system combined with a reverse osmosis drinking water filter addresses both. That’s the outcome worth paying for.
We’ve been installing and servicing water treatment systems across Central Florida for more than 50 years. That means we’ve been working with Floridan Aquifer water — the same water feeding your home off Marsh Bend Trail in DeLuna — long before this neighborhood existed. We know Sumter County’s water chemistry inside and out. We know what hard water from this region does to brand-new plumbing, and we know which systems actually hold up here versus which ones look good in a brochure.
We hold an A-rating from the Better Business Bureau with a 5-star record and zero complaints — in an industry that the Florida Attorney General has explicitly warned consumers about. We’re also a member of the National Water Quality Association, which requires passing a professional examination and committing to an industry code of ethics. These aren’t things you find out after you sign a contract. These are things you can verify right now before you make a single phone call.
We’re headquartered in Leesburg — Lake County, right next door to Sumter County — which means when you call, you’re calling a local company that can actually show up, not a national brand routing your request through a call center three states away.
It starts with a free in-home water analysis — a real one. Not the theatrical chemical-drop demonstration some companies use where every water sample looks contaminated regardless of what’s in it. This is a genuine, laboratory-grade evaluation of what’s actually in your specific home’s water supply. Iron levels, hardness, pH, total dissolved solids, bacteria, sulfur — the things that actually matter for designing a system that works in your home, not a generic one pulled off a shelf.
Once your water is tested, the recommendation is built around your actual results. A two-person Patio Villa on the south end of DeLuna has different water treatment needs than a four-bathroom Designer Home with a full kitchen. The system is sized and configured for your household — not standardized because it’s easier to install. For new construction in The Villages, this step matters more than most people realize, because the water profile can vary slightly depending on which of The Villages’ treatment plants is serving your zone and the depth of the aquifer draw feeding it.
Installation is handled by our licensed technicians who understand Florida Department of Environmental Protection guidelines and the requirements of The Villages’ Community Development District infrastructure. After installation, we don’t disappear. We service what we install — and we service other brands too. If you moved into a resale home in DeLuna with an existing system that needs attention, we’ll handle that as well. No runaround, no missed appointments, no unanswered calls.

The core of what we install in DeLuna homes is a whole-house filtration system — our highest-focus service and the one that delivers the most comprehensive protection. For most homes in this area, that means a combination of sediment removal, activated carbon filtration, and either a water softener or a salt-free TAC conditioning system, depending on your household’s preferences and the specifics of your water test results. All components are NSF-certified, and the salt-free media used in conditioning systems is WQA-certified TAC media — not a proprietary blend you can’t verify.
For drinking water, a reverse osmosis system installed at the kitchen sink takes filtration a step further. RO removes 95 to 99 percent of dissolved solids, including PFAS compounds, nitrates, heavy metals, and the disinfection byproducts detected in The Villages’ utility system. For a community of health-conscious retirees who are paying close attention to what they put in their bodies, this is the most direct answer to what’s in the water.
We also install UV purification systems for homes concerned about bacterial contamination — a relevant consideration during Florida’s rainy season when organic matter in the water supply increases and disinfection byproduct formation goes up. Well water filtration is available for any DeLuna-area homeowner on a private well. And if you’re a veteran or active-duty first responder, there’s a $500 discount applied to your system — a real number, not a token gesture, in a community with as many military retirees as The Villages.
Yes — and in brand-new homes in DeLuna, it shows up faster than most people expect. The water serving DeLuna comes from The Villages’ district utility system, which draws from the Floridan Aquifer. The limestone geology of that aquifer system means dissolved calcium and magnesium are a baseline condition, not an occasional problem. Hardness levels in Central Florida’s section of the Floridan Aquifer commonly range from 180 to 400 PPM depending on location and depth.
To put that in context, water above 120 PPM is generally classified as hard, and anything above 180 PPM is considered very hard. At those levels, scale begins forming on water heaters, dishwashers, washing machines, and shower fixtures within months. For someone who just moved into a new Designer Home or Patio Villa in DeLuna with all-new appliances, that’s not a long-term concern — it’s an immediate one. A whole-house water softener or salt-free conditioning system addresses this directly and protects the investment you’ve already made in your home.
The Environmental Working Group’s tap water database for the Villages of Lake-Sumter Water Treatment Plants has detected trihalomethanes (TTHMs), haloacetic acids (HAA5), and perfluorohexane sulfonate — a PFAS compound — in the water supply serving DeLuna and the surrounding area. TTHMs and HAA5 are disinfection byproducts that form when chlorine used to treat the water reacts with organic matter. PFAS compounds are persistent synthetic chemicals linked to cancer, immune system disruption, and thyroid changes.
The detected levels are within federal legal limits — the utility is not in violation. But the EWG’s health guidelines for these contaminants are set at levels representing a one-in-one-million lifetime cancer risk, and the detected levels exceed those health guidelines even while remaining legally compliant. The gap between “legal” and “health-optimized” is exactly what a whole-house activated carbon filtration system and a reverse osmosis drinking water filter are designed to close. RO specifically removes 95 to 99 percent of dissolved solids including PFAS. If this is a concern for you, a free water analysis is the right first step.
Most DeLuna homeowners end up needing both — but the specific combination depends on what your water test shows. A water softener or salt-free conditioning system addresses hardness, which is the most immediate and visible problem in this area. It prevents scale buildup on fixtures and appliances, protects your plumbing, and makes soap and detergent work more effectively. A whole-house carbon filtration system addresses chlorine taste and odor, disinfection byproducts like TTHMs and HAA5, and other chemical contaminants.
For drinking water specifically, a reverse osmosis system at the kitchen sink takes it a step further by removing dissolved solids that pass through carbon filtration — including PFAS compounds detected in The Villages’ utility system. The reason these are typically recommended together is that they solve different problems. Softening handles minerals. Carbon filtration handles chemical contaminants. RO handles what’s left. Whether you need all three or a subset of them is exactly what the free in-home water analysis determines — so you’re not paying for equipment your water doesn’t require.
For most homes in DeLuna, a whole-house filtration and softening installation takes between two and four hours depending on the system configuration and where the point of entry is located. Patio Villas and Courtyard Villas typically have straightforward access points, while larger Designer Homes with more complex plumbing layouts may take slightly longer. Adding a reverse osmosis system at the kitchen sink is usually an additional hour.
One thing worth knowing if you’re new to The Villages: installations in this community need to comply with Florida Department of Environmental Protection guidelines, and The Villages’ Community Development Districts maintain oversight of water and wastewater infrastructure. If your home has specific CDD requirements around system placement, backwash discharge, or bypass valves, our licensed installers who know this area will handle that as part of the process — not leave it for you to sort out after the fact. Our technicians are licensed and familiar with the regulatory environment for Sumter County installations, so that piece is covered.
Yes — reverse osmosis is one of the most effective methods available for removing PFAS compounds from drinking water. A properly functioning RO system removes 95 to 99 percent of dissolved solids, and independent testing has consistently shown high removal rates for the class of PFAS compounds including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), and perfluorohexane sulfonate — the specific PFAS compound detected in the Villages of Lake-Sumter water utility database.
Nearly 9 million Floridians have PFAS in their drinking water, and the EPA has moved toward stricter federal limits on these compounds in recent years. For DeLuna residents who are health-conscious and paying attention to what they consume, RO is the most direct and proven answer available at the household level. It’s installed at the kitchen sink as a point-of-use system, which means it filters the water you drink and cook with — the highest-priority exposure point. We include NSF-certified RO components in all installations, so the system you’re getting has been independently verified to perform as advertised.
