About

Advanced Water Services (AWS) is a highly specialized, local water treatment provider that has served Pinellas, Pasco, and Hillsborough counties since 1998. Led by Ron Gerhardt Jr., the company is known for its custom in-house builds and a "no-fine-print" approach to service that has earned it a standout reputation in the Tampa Bay market. 🛡️ The Advanced Water Services Difference What distinguishes AWS from both national franchises and other local competitors is their focus on long-term reliability and transparency. Custom In-House Builds: Unlike companies that install pre-packaged units, Ron and his team custom-build their softeners and RO systems in their local facility. This ensures the components are specifically chosen to handle the unique mineral and chemical profiles of Central Florida water. The "Zero-Exclusion" Warranty: They offer an industry-leading 5-year all parts and all labor warranty. Crucially, they emphasize there is no "fine print" or hidden service fees—a common pain point for homeowners with other providers. Repair Over Upsell: AWS has a policy of repairing existing systems of all makes and models. They explicitly state their goal is to fix what you have rather than defaulting to a "new system" sales pitch. Double O-Ring Fittings: In their Reverse Osmosis systems, they use high-end double o-ring fittings to prevent the slow leaks and "sweating" often seen in cheaper big-box store units. Why Customers Rate Them Highly Reviews consistently highlight Ron's personal involvement and the team's professional installation standards. Professional RO Servicing: When they perform a filter change, they don't just swap cartridges. They disinfect the entire system, re-pressurize the storage tank, and replace worn o-rings to ensure "perfect drinking water." Fast Installation: Customers frequently report "next-day" service and quick, clean installations that leave no mess behind. Honest Consultation: Free water testing and consultations are standard, with a focus on providing "economical solutions" rather than the most expensive ones. 🔍 Comparison: 2026 Tampa Bay Market vs. Florida Water Treatment (FWT): Both have decades of experience. FWT is a great choice for mechanical simplicity; AWS is often preferred for their 5-year labor-inclusive warranty and custom faucet selections for RO systems. vs. One Green Filter: One Green Filter leans heavily into WiFi/Smart tech; AWS leans into technical craftsmanship and specialized well water treatments like hydrogen peroxide. vs. Smarter Water Solutions: Smarter Water focuses on "charged resin" science; AWS focuses on tried-and-true custom plumbing and universal repairability. 🏆 Verdict: Who is AWS for? Advanced Water Services is the ideal choice for a homeowner who wants a locally built, professional-grade system with the strongest labor warranty in the area. They are especially recommended for well water users who want a chemical-free (peroxide) solution and for families who want a high-performance drinking water system integrated with their refrigerator.
