Florida Tap Water: Hard Water and Sulfur Smell Are the Concerns
Florida tap water meets federal and state drinking water standards per each water agency's report. But limestone groundwater keeps hardness on the high side, and hydrogen sulfide dissolved in groundwater can cause a rotten-egg smell.
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scale: 0–60 soft, 61–120 moderate, 121–180 hard, 181+ very hard. Tampa uses the 2025 average and the city's 140–300 ppm range; Orlando is the OUC published average.
Tampa

mg/L annual average hardness · 12.3 gpg · very hard
- Serves 733,000+ from the Hillsborough River
- Softer in the rainy season, harder in the dry season — ranges about 8–17 gpg through the year
- Treated with ozone, chloramine disinfection, and corrosion control
- No lead service lines; no 2025 violations
Orlando

- Uses Floridan Aquifer water from about 400m underground
- Removes hydrogen sulfide (taste/odor cause) with ozone treatment

- Fluoride addition ended July 1, 2025 per state law
Scale and White Spots
Tampa's water department notes that groundwater makes up a larger share in the dry season, making water harder. If scale on shower enclosures and kitchen surfaces bothers you, consider adding a softener.
When There's a Sulfur Smell
Hydrogen sulfide occurs naturally in groundwater. Water agencies treat it before distribution, but well-water homes may still notice the smell — a water test is recommended.
Drinking Water and Household Water
Split the job for best results: a purifier for drinking water, a softener for shower and laundry water. We'll walk you through both together.
These figures are system-wide data published by the agencies; actual water quality at your home may vary by water provider, season, and building plumbing. For Jacksonville, the Miami area, and other regions, check your local water provider's annual quality report.
Florida Indoor Air: Managing Humidity Comes First
In the American Lung Association's 2026 report, outdoor air in Florida's major cities ranks well nationally. Instead, the hot, humid climate makes indoor mold and allergy management the bigger task.
Recommends below 50% to keep both mold and dust mites away
Can cause congestion, coughing, and wheezing in sensitive people and trigger asthma attacks
Relatively good at #143 nationally for ozone pollution under American Lung Association criteria
- Florida's health department notes that all mold needs moisture to grow, so managing humidity is the key to preventing mold.
- It recommends venting moisture from showers and cooking outdoors and keeping indoor humidity below 60%.
- American Lung Association figures are from the 2026 report, analyzing 2022–2024 monitoring data.
What an Air Purifier Can Do
- Reduce airborne indoor particles like dust, pollen, and pet dander
- Help manage indoor air in homes that keep windows closed and the AC running
- For mold, removing moisture comes first. An air purifier alone can't solve a mold problem.
Florida Service Areas
Select a region to see the main cities we service, local installation notes, and frequently asked questions for that area. If your city isn't listed, just share your address and we'll confirm whether installation is available.
Tampa Bay
Tampa and Hillsborough–Pasco counties
- Tampa
- Brandon
- Wesley Chapel
- Plant City
This is our highest-volume area for consultations and installs. Per the City of Tampa, average hardness runs very high at 211 mg/L (12.3 gpg), so most households here install a softener and purifier together.
Tampa's water gets harder in the dry season — does that change the softener sizing?
Per the City of Tampa, hardness ranges from 8 to 17 gpg over the year. We size the softener with some margin above the dry-season peak so it performs consistently through the seasonal swing.
Orlando
Downtown Orlando and Orange · Seminole · Lake Counties
- Orlando
- Winter Garden
- Winter Springs
- Clermont
- Lake Mary
- DeBary
Served by OUC, with hardness around 129 mg/L (7 gpg). The sulfur odor typical of Floridan Aquifer groundwater is removed through ozone treatment, so most inquiries here are for a standalone purifier to improve drinking water.
Is the water in Winter Garden or Lake Mary the same as Orlando's?
Most of this area is within OUC's service area, but some border neighborhoods may be served by a different utility, so we'll confirm by address during consultation.
Jacksonville
Northeast Florida
- Jacksonville
- St. Johns
Served by a different water utility than Tampa or Orlando, so we review your local utility's annual water quality report with you before installation.
Can I find out Jacksonville's hardness or sulfur-odor levels too?
Jacksonville is served by its own utility. We'll confirm the exact figures from your local utility's annual water quality report.
South Florida
Broward · Palm Beach Counties
- Davie
- Plantation
- Hollywood
- Jupiter
This area draws from the Biscayne Aquifer, so water quality differs from Tampa or Orlando. With a high share of condos and townhouses, we also check your building's delivery rules before installation.
Do you install in condos in Broward County?
Yes. Some buildings have delivery restrictions, so please share the building name and we'll check in advance.
North Central
Atlantic coast and north-central Florida
- Daytona Beach
- Gainesville
An outlying area farther from the branch, where water sources vary by town, so we share the relevant water quality report with you before the visit.
Does a farther area like Gainesville still get 6-month maintenance visits?
Yes, as long as your area is serviceable you'll get the same 6-month visit schedule, coordinated together with nearby areas.
Southwest
Gulf Coast area
- Fort Myers
- Naples
A Gulf Coast area with many summer and second homes — letting us know in advance whether the home is occupied and how to access it makes scheduling easier.
Do you install at a vacation home in Naples?
Yes. For homes that aren't occupied year-round, we coordinate available dates in advance for both installation and the 6-month maintenance visits.
Installation may be difficult in areas more than 70 miles from a Coway branch or authorized dealer.

Do you install in Tampa or Orlando too?
Yes — installation is available in the Tampa Bay and Orlando areas. For Jacksonville, South Florida, and Fort Myers, send us your address and we'll confirm availability.
Do I really need a water softener in Florida?
Tampa tap water averages 12.3 gpg annually and climbs to about 17 gpg in the dry season — very hard water. A softener helps if scale on shower enclosures, kitchen surfaces, and appliances bothers you; manage drinking water separately with a purifier.
My water smells like rotten eggs.
It's likely hydrogen sulfide, which occurs naturally in Florida groundwater. Agencies like Orlando's OUC treat it with ozone before distribution, but for well-water homes we'll recommend the right products after a water test.
Does an air purifier help in humid weather?
Air purifiers help reduce indoor particles like dust and pollen. But as Florida's health department advises, removing moisture comes first for mold — so use one alongside keeping indoor humidity below 60%.
How are filters maintained after installation?
During your rental, a Coway specialist visits every 6 months to replace filters and inspect your products. Maintenance is included in your rental fee.
