About Us

Smart Healthy Water began with a simple observation by our founder, a third-generation Florida plumber. He noticed many families struggling with poor water quality despite the state's abundant water resources. Hard water, contaminants, and municipal treatment chemicals were affecting health and homes across Florida.

We believe clean water isn't a luxury—it's your family's right. Just as Ransom E. Olds envisioned a thriving planned community when he purchased 37,541 acres here in 1916, we envision Oldsmar homes with pure, healthy water flowing from every tap. Our team consists of experienced water treatment professionals who understand local water conditions in Oldsmar and surrounding areas. We take pride in providing personalized solutions that address your specific needs rather than one-size-fits-all approaches.

Types of Water Filtration Methods We Offer

Water filtration systems come in various designs to address different contaminants and water quality issues. Each method offers unique benefits depending on your household needs, water source, and specific concerns about what might be in your tap water.

Reverse Osmosis Systems

Reverse Osmosis (RO) is one of the most thorough filtration methods available for home use. These systems force water through a semipermeable membrane that blocks contaminants while allowing clean water molecules to pass through. RO effectively removes up to 99% of dissolved solids, including heavy metals like lead and arsenic, as well as many chemicals and microorganisms.

We find that our Oldsmar customers appreciate that RO systems can eliminate fluoride, chlorine, and sodium that other filters might miss. These systems typically include multiple filtration stages with pre-filters to protect the membrane from larger particles. One consideration with RO is that it produces some wastewater during the filtration process. Modern systems are becoming more efficient, but this is something to keep in mind when choosing a system for your home.

Activated Carbon and Carbon Block Filters

Activated carbon filters are excellent at improving taste and odor by removing chlorine and many organic compounds. The carbon has been treated to create millions of tiny pores that trap contaminants as water passes through. Carbon block filters take this technology further by compressing activated carbon into a solid block. This increases contact time with the water and creates a denser filtration material. These filters are particularly effective at removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, and many industrial chemicals.

These filters are especially important for homes near Oldsmar's industrial areas, where major employers like Nielsen Media Research, whose $80 million "nerve center" opened in 2003, and Lockheed Martin, which employed over 600 people as of 2015, have expanded the local economy. We've installed many carbon filtration systems in Oldsmar homes where residents were concerned about the taste or smell of their municipal water. These filters are relatively affordable and don't waste water during filtration. They do require regular replacement, typically every 6-12 months depending on your water usage and quality.

UV Purification and Ozone Treatment

UV purification uses ultraviolet light to destroy bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms in your water. This method doesn't remove physical particles or chemicals, but it effectively neutralizes biological contaminants that could cause illness. UV systems are often paired with other filtration methods to provide comprehensive protection. They're energy-efficient and chemical-free, making them an environmentally friendly choice for disinfection.

Ozone treatment works by introducing ozone gas into water, which oxidizes contaminants and microorganisms. The ozone then breaks down into oxygen, leaving no chemical residue. This method is powerful against bacteria and can help reduce iron, manganese, and sulfur compounds that cause unpleasant odors. We typically recommend these technologies as part of a multi-stage system for Oldsmar homes with concerns about microbiological contamination.



Installation and Maintenance of Filtration Systems

Proper installation and regular maintenance are essential for keeping your water filtration system working effectively. Our team at Smart Healthy Water Filtration Systems ensures your system provides clean, healthy water for years to come.

Installing Your Filtration System

We begin every installation with a thorough assessment of your home's water needs and plumbing configuration. Our certified technicians position your filtration system at the optimal location—typically near your main water line for whole-house systems or under the sink for point-of-use filters. For residents in Oldsmar's historic downtown area near the 1918 Bank Building with its rare white Italian glazed bricks, we take special care with installations to preserve these architectural treasures while providing modern water quality.

During installation, we take time to properly flush the system to remove any manufacturing residue. This critical step ensures your water is clean from day one. We also install bypass valves to make future maintenance easier. After installation, we test your system thoroughly to confirm proper flow rates and filtration quality. We won't leave until we've verified everything is working correctly and you understand how to operate your new system.

Filter Maintenance and Membrane Cleaning

Regular maintenance extends the life of your filtration system and maintains water quality. We recommend scheduling professional service visits every 6-12 months depending on your water usage and local water conditions. During maintenance visits, our technicians inspect all components, check for leaks, and measure water pressure. For reverse osmosis systems, we clean membranes to prevent mineral buildup that can reduce efficiency.

Membrane cleaning involves flushing with specialized solutions that remove trapped particles without damaging the delicate membrane structure. This process restores flow rates and filtration effectiveness. We also sanitize storage tanks and lines to prevent bacterial growth. Many homeowners don't realize these hidden areas can harbor contaminants if not properly maintained.
