About this product

Nikkos Water Solutions (Nikkos Services & Solutions, LLC) is a premier owner-operated water treatment specialist serving Central Florida. Managed by Nick "Nikko" Ponti, the company is renowned for its "white-glove" service and highly competitive pricing, often saving Orlando residents thousands compared to large national franchises. The 10% Cross-Linked Resin Advantage Nikkos utilizes a 10% cross-linked cation resin (such as General Technologies C110DQ), which is the 2026 industry standard for high-performance softening. Superior Durability: Most retail softeners use 8% resin. The 10% "cross-link" refers to the stronger internal bonds that prevent beads from fracturing into a "mush" over time. Chlorine Resistance: This resin is specifically designed to withstand the high chlorine levels found in Orlando’s municipal water, extending the system's lifespan to 15–20 years. High Purity: Certified for food and beverage processing, ensuring the water is safe for all household uses. Orlando Water Quality (2026 Update) According to 2026 reports, Orlando's water remains "legally safe" but faces specific challenges that Nikko's systems are designed to address: Hardness: Averages 129–190 ppm, causing rapid scale buildup in tankless water heaters. PFAS & Lead: Trace amounts of "forever chemicals" and lead from older plumbing remain a concern in neighborhoods like Winter Park and College Park. Fluoride Change: As of July 1, 2025, some local utilities (like Orange County) stopped supplementing fluoride, making home-based filtration even more personal based on individual preference
