Water Softeners & Water Treatment in Palm Bay, FL

Palm Bay is really two water markets. City customers get water from 42 wells treated by lime softening and reverse osmosis at the North and South plants, then disinfected with chloramine. The city's report doesn't list a hardness number, so a quick test is the only honest way to size a softener.

Thousands of other Palm Bay homes are on their own wells. The city's own planning documents put that at about 12,000 households. Well water here can bring hydrogen sulfide (the rotten-egg smell), iron that stains sinks and driveways orange, and sometimes salty or tea-colored water. Each needs a different fix, and the order of the equipment matters.

The Florida Department of Health in Brevard County recommends testing a private well every year for bacteria and nitrate, and for lead every three years. Our free test covers hardness, iron, pH and smell; for health items we point you to a certified lab.

City customers: Palm Bay switched from chloramine to free chlorine March 16-April 13, 2026 to clean the pipes. A chlorine smell during those weeks is normal. Hablamos de su agua: if you'd prefer Spanish, say so on the form.
