Your water stops tasting like chlorine. Your skin doesn’t feel dry after every shower. Your kids drink from the tap without you second-guessing it.
That’s what happens when you install a water filtration system that actually works. Not just a pitcher that sits in your fridge. Not bottled water you haul home every week. A real system—reverse osmosis, activated carbon filtration, or UV purification—that treats water at the source before it reaches any faucet in your home.
Florida’s water comes with baggage. PFAS chemicals show up in 63% of spring water samples across the state. Agricultural runoff brings nitrates. Aging pipes add lead and copper. Municipal treatment handles the basics, but it wasn’t designed to catch everything that concerns you now.
A proper water filtration system removes what treatment plants miss. Heavy metals, dissolved solids, microorganisms, chlorine byproducts—the stuff that builds up in your body over years of exposure. You’re not just improving taste. You’re reducing health risks that most people don’t even know they’re taking.
We don’t install water heaters or fix leaky pipes. We specialize in water purification, filtration, and softening. That focus matters when you’re choosing who handles your family’s drinking water.
We’re A-rated with the Better Business Bureau. Five stars, zero complaints. We’re members of the National Water Quality Association, which means we follow industry standards that most companies ignore. And we actually service what we install—something you’ll appreciate when national companies leave you hanging after the sale.
Martel homeowners deal with the same water issues affecting most of Central Florida: hard water from limestone aquifers, agricultural runoff from surrounding farmland, and those PFAS chemicals that keep showing up in news reports. We’ve been handling these exact problems for years. We know what works here and what doesn’t.
First, we test your water. Not a guess based on your zip code—actual testing that shows what’s in your specific water supply. That tells us whether you need reverse osmosis systems for dissolved solids, activated carbon filtration for chlorine and organic compounds, UV water purification for bacteria, or some combination.
Then we recommend a system based on those results and your household needs. Whole-house filtration treats water at your main line before it reaches any fixture. Under-sink filter installation gives you purified drinking water without treating water you use for laundry or landscaping. Point-of-entry systems handle everything. We explain the differences so you can decide what makes sense for your home and budget.
Installation takes a few hours for most systems. We connect the filtration equipment to your main water line or specific fixtures, test flow rates and pressure, and make sure everything works before we leave. You’ll know how to check filter status, when to expect replacements, and how to reach us if something seems off.
After installation, you get ongoing support. Filter replacements, system checks, water quality testing—we handle the maintenance so your system keeps working like it should. That’s the difference between buying equipment and actually solving your water problem.

Reverse osmosis systems push water through a semipermeable membrane that catches particles down to 0.0001 microns. That removes 99% of dissolved solids, heavy metals like lead and arsenic, PFAS chemicals, and most microorganisms. RO systems work best when drinking water quality testing shows high TDS levels or specific contaminants that other filters miss. You’ll taste the difference immediately—water that’s actually clean, not just filtered.
Activated carbon filtration uses a porous carbon surface to trap chlorine, volatile organic compounds, pesticides, and the chemicals that make water smell or taste off. Carbon filters excel at improving taste and removing organic contaminants, but they don’t catch dissolved minerals or salts. Most whole-house systems use carbon as a first stage before other filtration methods. It’s effective, affordable, and handles the most common complaints about municipal water.
UV water purification exposes water to ultraviolet light that destroys bacteria, viruses, and parasites without adding chemicals. UV systems work fast—water flows through the chamber and gets disinfected in seconds. They don’t remove particles or change taste, so they’re usually paired with other filters. But for killing microorganisms, nothing beats UV. It’s especially important if you’re on well water or in areas where aging infrastructure lets bacteria into the supply.
In Martel, FL, most homes benefit from a combination approach. Carbon filtration removes chlorine and organic compounds. RO handles dissolved solids and PFAS. UV kills anything living. We configure systems based on your specific water test results, not a one-size-fits-all package.
Whole-house systems typically run between $1,500 and $4,500 installed, depending on the filtration technology and your home’s water usage. A basic carbon filter system for a 2,000 square foot home costs less than a multi-stage system with reverse osmosis and UV purification.
Your water quality affects the price. If testing shows high contamination levels, you need more aggressive filtration. If your water is relatively clean but tastes like chlorine, a simpler carbon system handles it. We test first so you’re not paying for filtration you don’t need.
Compare that cost to bottled water. A family of four spending $15 weekly on bottled water pays $780 yearly. Over five years, that’s $3,900—about the same as a quality whole-house system that lasts 15-20 years with proper maintenance. You’re not just buying equipment. You’re eliminating an ongoing expense while getting better water throughout your entire home.
Reverse osmosis systems remove 90-99% of PFAS chemicals, including the compounds found in Florida’s spring water and groundwater. Carbon filters catch some PFAS but not all types, and UV purification doesn’t address PFAS at all. If PFAS removal is your priority, RO is the proven solution.
PFAS matters in Florida because these “forever chemicals” show up in 63% of tested spring water samples statewide. Seven spring sites exceed EPA’s maximum contaminant levels. These chemicals don’t break down naturally, and they accumulate in your body over time. Standard municipal treatment doesn’t remove them effectively.
An RO system installed at your drinking water tap removes PFAS from the water you consume directly. A whole-house RO system removes it from all water entering your home, but that’s more expensive and may not be necessary depending on your exposure concerns. We test your water first to see if PFAS is actually present before recommending a specific approach.
Carbon filters need replacement every 6-12 months depending on your water usage and contamination levels. Reverse osmosis membranes last 2-3 years. UV bulbs should be changed annually even if they still light up, because UV intensity decreases over time.
You’ll know when filters need changing because flow rate drops or water taste changes. Most modern systems include indicator lights or smart monitoring that tracks filter life and alerts you when replacement is due. We set up a maintenance schedule during installation so you’re not guessing.
Skipping filter changes defeats the purpose of having a system. Old filters stop catching contaminants effectively, and in some cases they can release trapped contaminants back into your water. We handle filter replacements as part of our service, or we can show you how to do it yourself if you prefer. Either way, staying on schedule keeps your system working like it should.
Point-of-use systems filter water at a specific location—usually under your kitchen sink or at your refrigerator. You get purified water for drinking and cooking, but water from other faucets stays untreated. These systems cost less upfront and work well if your main concern is what you consume directly.
Whole-house systems treat water at your main line before it reaches any fixture. Every faucet, shower, washing machine, and toilet gets filtered water. That protects your skin from chlorine exposure, prevents mineral buildup in pipes and appliances, and gives you clean water throughout your home. Installation costs more, but you’re treating all water instead of just one tap.
Most Martel homeowners choose based on their specific water problems. If testing shows contaminants you don’t want touching your skin or damaging your appliances, whole-house makes sense. If your water is generally fine but you want better drinking water, point-of-use handles that at lower cost. We test your water and explain which approach addresses your actual situation.
Reverse osmosis systems send some water to drain during the filtration process—typically 3-4 gallons of wastewater for every gallon of purified water produced. That sounds wasteful, but for drinking water systems that produce 50-75 gallons daily, you’re using about 150-200 extra gallons per day. That’s roughly one additional toilet flush per hour.
Newer RO systems waste less water than older models. Some high-efficiency systems achieve 1:1 ratios, producing one gallon of clean water for every gallon sent to drain. If water waste concerns you, we can recommend systems designed for better efficiency.
Carbon and UV systems don’t waste water—they filter as water flows through without sending any to drain. If you’re choosing between filtration technologies and water conservation matters to you, that’s worth considering. But for removing dissolved solids and PFAS, RO remains the most effective option despite the wastewater. The health benefits of removing those contaminants typically outweigh the water usage for most homeowners.
