Case Study: The Williams Family's Sanibel Water Transformation

When the Williams family purchased their dream home on Sanibel's west end, they were dismayed to discover the severity of their water quality issues. Despite the home's beautiful setting and updates throughout, the water situation threatened to undermine their enjoyment of island living.

"The smell was unbearable – like a dozen rotten eggs. Our white fixtures were turning orange within days, and my wife's blonde hair was taking on a greenish tint after showering. We had invested our life savings in this home, and suddenly we were questioning our decision because of the water." – Robert Williams

Their Challenges:

  • Extreme hydrogen sulfide odor (lab tested at 6.8 mg/L – well above the 0.05 mg/L detection threshold)

  • High iron content (4.2 mg/L – nearly 14 times the recommended limit)

  • Iron bacteria colonization in the well itself

  • Acidic water causing plumbing corrosion

  • Previous ineffective treatment by another company

The Aqua-Wise Solution:

After a thorough on-site assessment and laboratory testing, our team designed a custom AQUALUX WellFusion system with:

  1. Dual-tank aeration system for aggressive hydrogen sulfide removal

  2. Specialized iron-removing media with extended contact time

  3. Self-sterilizing components to prevent bacteria recolonization

  4. pH correction system to protect plumbing infrastructure

  5. Whole-house carbon polishing for perfect taste and odor control

The Results:

  • Complete elimination of sulfur odor (non-detectable in follow-up testing)

  • Iron reduction to below laboratory detection limits

  • No more staining on fixtures, appliances, or laundry

  • Stabilized pH protecting their plumbing system

  • Significant improvement in water pressure due to clean pipes

  • Elimination of the need for bottled water (saving approximately $960 annually)

"The difference is night and day. We can have guests over without embarrassment, our appliances work better, and our water actually tastes good now. The Aqua-Wise team explained everything clearly, installed the system with minimal disruption, and has provided fantastic follow-up service. Our only regret is not calling them first before trying other, cheaper options that didn't work." – Laura Williams

Return on Investment:

The Williams family calculated their ROI based on:

  • Elimination of bottled water purchases: $960/year

  • Reduced cleaning supply costs: $420/year

  • Energy savings from efficient appliances: $380/year

  • Extended appliance lifespans: $500/year (amortized)

  • Increased property value: Estimated $15,000-20,000

Their complete system paid for itself in just under four years, while immediately improving their quality of life and protecting their home investment. sooner!" – Jennifer Sullivan, Sanibel Homeowner

The Sullivans were spending over $1,200 annually on cleaning products, damaged clothing replacement, and higher energy bills before installing their water treatment system. Their investment has already paid dividends in both financial savings and quality of life improvements.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT US

  • What is hard water?
    Answer: Hard water is water that contains high levels of dissolved minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium.
  • What are the signs of hard water in Florida?
    Answer: Signs of hard water in Florida include white or yellowish buildup on faucets and appliances, soap scum in sinks and showers, and dry, itchy skin.

Tampa, FL

I recently had Aqua-Wise Water Treatment install a 96k grains water softener, carbon, and RO system in my home in Tampa. Living in an area with various contaminants, including PFAS, I was in search of a comprehensive water treatment solution, and Aqua-Wise delivered. The 96k grains water softener effectively addresses hard water issues, ensuring a noticeable improvement in water quality. The addition of a carbon filtration system enhances the removal of impurities, and the RO system provides an extra layer of purification, crucial for combating contaminants like PFAS.I can already feel the positive impact on both my appliances and overall well-being. Choosing Aqua-Wise Water Treatment has proven to be a wise decision, providing my family with clean, softened water that exceeds our expectations. I highly recommend their services to anyone in the Tampa area seeking a reliable and thorough water treatment solution.

Saint Petersburg, FL

Comments: I am so glad that I chose Aqua Wise for our water softener and RO installation. It was ultimately a decision for our health, but it's a big purchase and we wanted to make sure we were in good hands. Eyal explained everything every step of the way. You can tell he is very knowledgeable and passionate about water quality. He and his son came out quickly and the installation was seamless. We needed an electrician as well to come out and install a power supply, which Eyal also arranged for. They offer financing options as well, and they are reasonably priced in my opinion. I highly recommend Aqua Wise for your home's water needs, and supporting a local family owned business. Thank you Aqua Wise!
