In Central Florida, the high mineral content (averaging 7.6 to 12.9 Grains per Gallon) and the use of chlorine for municipal treatment make a multi-stage water strategy essential. The "Dual-System" Strategy for Orlando As your research into Eden Water and Pentair suggests, one system rarely does it all. Most Central Florida homes benefit from combining two distinct technologies: Whole-House Filtration/Softening: Protects "Working Water" (showering, laundry, and plumbing). Point-of-Use Reverse Osmosis: Perfects "Drinking Water" (cooking and hydration).
