What causes the buildup in my shower?
Calcium and magnesium in the water supply combined with soap form a gray, sticky curd that adheres to bathtubs, tile, and glass. Additionally when water droplets evaporate the calcium carbonate recombines as limestone leaving a very hard, difficult-to-remove deposit. The softening of the water coming into your house will solve this problem.

Why does my clean laundry look grey?
When calcium and magnesium in the water are mixed with soap a gray sticky curd is formed that adheres to clothing. This is the source of the gray color. There are numerous chemicals that can be used to control this problem, but they shorten the life of the fabric. By softening your water, not only will you eliminate this problem, you can substantially reduce the use of laundry detergent and increase the life of your clothes.

If you have municipal water coming to your home in the Central Florida area, the primary cause is the presence of Chloramines. While the municipal waters locally do meet safe drinking water standards, they can regularly taste bad. This can easily be solved with a quality drinking water system installed underneath the kitchen sink or on the main water line going into the house. The degree of hardness standard as established by the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (S-339) and the Water Quality Association is:

From start to finish a great experience. Carla, Luis, and Manny were... friendly and knowledgeable. I never felt pressured to buy anything. Luis came to my home, tested the water, and provided the options to solve my iron and hard water problem. No sales gimmicks or pressure to buy. Manny came out a few days later and installed my system. He went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with the install. Businesses in general have forgotten the importance of good customer service but not Branch Water. I highly recommend them and no I did not receive any compensation for this review. Good service deserves a good review.read more

Amazing customer service all from the initial scheduling to the... installation.The person who scheduled my testing appointment was very nice and followed up with a reminder the day before. The guy who came to test the waters and select the right equipment for me was very knowledgeable and helped me pick the right equipment without any pressure. Mani was the guy who did the installation, was amazing, very respectful, knowledgeable, and friendly. He did a great job and made sure to clean after himself and tested everything before he left to ensure everything is good to go.Very very satisfied with the service and the entire process as a whole. And the price was pretty reasonable compared to three other companies that I looked at in the Davenport Area.read more
