Mr Water

About

Mr. Water is a multi-award-winning, family-owned company that has been a staple of the Tampa Bay water treatment market since 1993. Operated by the Crocker family (Mike, Kay, Steve, and Scott), they have built a reputation for high-integrity service and technical specialization in "problem water" common to New Port Richey, Odessa, and Trinity. 🛡️ The Mr. Water Distinction Mr. Water is frequently cited as one of the highest-rated local providers on platforms like Angie’s List (now Angi), where they have won the Super Service Award nearly every year for two decades. Family Continuity: You aren't dealing with a revolving door of corporate technicians; the owners themselves are often the ones performing the estimates and installations. Brand Agnostic: While they recommend the Fleck 5600 for its "set it and forget it" reliability, they are open to installing any control valve a customer prefers, focusing on what works best for the home rather than a specific brand quota. Referral-Driven: Approximately 80% of their business comes from word-of-mouth referrals, a testament to their "cleaner than they found it" installation policy and honest pricing. Addressing the "Chloramine Controversy" As of 2026, most municipal agencies in Pinellas and Pasco Counties (including New Port Richey) use chloramines (chlorine + ammonia) for disinfection. The Problem: Standard carbon filters for "chlorine" are often ineffective against chloramines, which are much harder to break down and can be harder on rubber seals and plumbing. The Mr. Water Solution: They specialize in "Water Conditioners" that utilize Catalytic Carbon specifically designed to strip chloramines, ensuring your skin, hair, and plumbing are protected from these aggressive disinfectants. 🔍 Market Context: Why Choose Mr. Water? In the 2026 landscape, Mr. Water remains the "Gold Standard" for customers who prioritize long-term relationships and honesty. vs. Advanced Water Services (AWS): Both are excellent family businesses. AWS offers a strong 5-year labor warranty; Mr. Water excels in using Vortech high-efficiency tanks and has a slightly longer tenure in the Pasco/North Tampa area. vs. Smarter Water Solutions: Smarter Water is the choice for solar-powered digital tech. Mr. Water is the choice for proven mechanical reliability (Fleck valves) and "Water Nerd" family expertise. Service Areas: They are very active in the northern corridor, including Trinity, Odessa, and New Port Richey, where well water issues (sulfur/iron) are more prevalent. 🏆 Verdict: Who is Mr. Water for? Mr. Water is the ideal choice for the conservative homeowner who wants a system that will last 20+ years without needing constant "smart" updates. If you want a company where the owner's name is on the truck and the service quality is backed by 30 years of local awards, the Crockers are a top-tier choice.
