Including filter system and high-performance Boron filter.
Boron is a naturally occurring element that can enter drinking water from soil and rock and, in some cases, from industrial sources. It usually has no taste or smell, so it often goes unnoticed unless a lab test or water quality report identifies it. Many Lake Placid homeowners first learn about boron after a private well test or utility report; when results look high, addressing the issue at the point where water enters the house is the most effective way to protect every tap.
Because boron remains dissolved in water it won’t settle out like sediment and isn’t reliably removed by standard carbon filters. That can be especially frustrating in Highlands County homes that already manage hard groundwater and mineral scale. Reducing boron requires treatment aimed at dissolved inorganic contaminants, and the best choice depends on your water chemistry and whether you want treated water delivered to the whole house or just specific fixtures.
For removing boron from household water, a reverse osmosis membrane is generally the most effective single-filter option. RO systems force water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects many dissolved substances — including boron — much more effectively than typical carbon media. Because boron can be difficult to remove, choosing the right membrane and sizing the system correctly is important to achieve consistent reduction regardless of taste or odor.
When used for whole-house treatment, reverse osmosis is most often configured as a point-of-entry system with a storage tank and proper prefiltration to protect the membrane from sediment and chlorine. Pre-treatment helps the membrane perform in hard groundwater conditions common in inland Central Florida, and post-filtration polishes water before it reaches showers, sinks, laundry and cooking areas. Mr. Pure Water can test your Lake Placid water and recommend the right RO setup to meet your home’s flow needs and provide reliable boron reduction throughout the house.
