REDUCE PFAS from Your Family’s Water With One Efficient System
Water all over the country has frequently been positive for lead, cysts, and PFOA/PFOS, and our area is not exempt. These chemicals have been found to exceed the levels set forth by health advisory organizations and may cause health problems.
Eighteen million Americans live in communities where the water systems are in violation of the law. As a mater of fact, the federal agency in charge of making sure those systems are safe not only know these issues exist, they’ve done little to stop them, according to information provided by CNN, which cites multiple sources and water experts.
Our goal is not to scare anyone into getting water treatment, however, educating our local community about water quality is a top priority. We’ve worked with many local families to improve their water and to provide peace-of-mind, knowing the water they drink and bathe in is free of harmful contaminants.
Contact us today to learn more about our professionally installed and serviced drinking water system that reduces PFOS contamination. Fill out the contact form or call (863) 576-5541!

What are PFAS, PFOA, PFOS and What’s The Difference Between Them?
In a nutshell, PFAS stands for per- and polyflouralkyl substances, which are synthetic chemicals used to make everyday products we all use (your cell phone, your non-stick pans, some food packaging, most things that used to be made at 3M are made of PFAS). PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid, also referred to as C8) and PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonate) are simply two types of PFAS, and the difference between the two is the number of carbon atoms in the chain of polyflouralkyl. GenX is also considered a PFAS contaminant.
These chemicals have been around for almost 80 years when they started being manufactured in the 1940s. Unfortunately, a lot of chemical waste ends up being dumped in the water supply we drink from. Imagine 80 years of chemical waste contaminating the water we use every day.
The Water Quality Association (WQA.org) tells us exposure to PFAS can happen when we eat food grown in soil contaminated by PFAS or drink water that has been contaminated and not properly filtered out. It can also be released through the household products we use to clean our homes.
Some potential health risks of PFAS exposure are cancer, a weakened immune system, fertility issues, low birth weight for infants, abnormal levels for cholesterol and thyroid hormones, and inflammation of the liver. Other health-related issues are still under research.
How Can I Know I Have Safe Drinking Water?

We were connected with Branch Water through Lowe's for the installation of... a whole-house water softener, and we were pleased with the experience from start to finish. The sales rep who came out was sharp, responsive, and knew her stuff. Carla got us scheduled and provided clear communication, and Shawn came out to handle the installation. He was on time, friendly, and very professional. The system looked great installed, and he took the time to walk me through everything when he was done. Two big thumbs-up to the entire team from a grateful family.read more

My husband and I live in North Lakeland and bought a 4500sq ft home last... year and we could NOT figure out why our water was smelling SO bad. My boss owns hundreds of rental properties and even he said our water was the worst he’s ever smelled. We tried several different companies who came out and did a few things but inevitably the smell always came back. The water was destroying my hair, making me break out and so per my boss’s recommendation I called Branchwater. Luis came out and tested the water (which came back normal) but instead of just leaving it at that he came inside and looked at a few things. He then sat down and explained the systems. Never having dealt with a well before I point blank asked, “if this was your house what would you do.” He didn’t try to upsell me but spent the time explaining why he would use what he recommended. I reached out and Carla got me on the schedule THAT SAME WEEK! They sent emails keeping us up to date on exactly when our tech would arrive. Our tech arrived on time at 10am and stayed until 6pm (in the rain and heat) and had a great attitude the entire time. It was definitely worse than anticipated but he still kept a great attitude and got the job done. They followed up the next day to help us navigate the last step of flushing out our water heaters. A day later our water was PERFECT! It’s now been a week and I’m SO HAPPY I CALLED THEM! Long story short- USE THIS COMPANY!! You will not regret it!read more

My family and I had such a pleasurable experience with Branch Water of... Central FL. Luis was the technician who came out to our home. Even before he came, we let them know that we were not necessarily looking to buy and products or service, that we just wanted our water to be tested so we can be well informed.Luis was very professional and extremely knowledgeable but was not pushy at all about trying to sell us something. He took his time to properly test our water supply, gave us a thorough look into the world of water and even wrote down critical information we needed to make informed decisions.Luis is a passionate young man who takes pride in his work but, most of all, he is a bright and genuine person who brought smiles to my family. He's a great representative of what seems to be a great and honest water company here in Central Florida.Luis, thank you again. Speaking with you about being a father was great. We are praying for you and your growing family. God bless-Cesar, Syieda and baby Jahelread more
