Port Charlotte sits in Charlotte County, where the water has a reputation: hard, and in many areas brackish, with high TDS. West Port is growing east, with 423 more homes planned, and its first new neighborhood, Driftwood Bay, built by D.R. Horton, is open now. Homes here run on a mix of county water and private wells, and many well homes deal with high TDS, a brackish taste, iron and sulfur, while county-water homes get treated water that still carries hardness and taste. Either way, the water that arrives at a home is builder-standard, treated to municipal standards if it is county water, untreated if it is your well, but not tested at your tap. Lakewood Home Services starts every recommendation with a free in-home water test at your home: hardness, pH, TDS and iron, measured before anyone talks about a system.

Our two whole-home softeners share the same Clack WS1-driven design on the outside and differ inside: EchoSoft is our proven everyday softener, and ProSoft is built with a 10x54 tank, 32,000-grain capacity, CN8 resin, coconut carbon and Centaur catalytic carbon over a gravel underbedding. A softener is what keeps scale out of your water heater, fixtures and appliances from the start.
Explore water softeners →The Pentagon filters water for the entire home, improving taste and odor and reducing sediment, a strong fit for well homes and for county water you want cleaner at every tap, and it pairs well with a softener.
Explore whole-house filtration →Prefer no salt? The SP3 conditions water without salt or electricity, helping reduce scale buildup while keeping the minerals in. Low maintenance, and a good fit for new construction.
Explore water softeners and conditioners →High TDS is handled where it counts: at the kitchen tap. A PuroMax RO system under the sink gives you clean, great-tasting drinking and cooking water, whatever the whole-home test shows.

Hard water is common across Charlotte County, and well water in the Port Charlotte area often runs high in TDS and can be brackish, higher in dissolved salts. That is hard on new fixtures and appliances over time, and it is exactly what a water test measures.
Because scale starts building from the first day water runs through new pipes, a new water heater and new appliances. A test at move-in lets any treatment be sized to your water while everything is still new, instead of after buildup shows up as spots, residue and wear.
Port Charlotte homes can be on either, and it matters: county water is treated before it reaches you, while well water reaches your home untreated, so hardness, iron, sulfur, pH and TDS vary home to home. We test whichever supply you have.
Your test decides. EchoSoft and ProSoft soften the whole home, the Pentagon filters it, the SP3 conditions it without salt, and PuroMax RO takes care of drinking water at the tap. Many new homes end up with a softener plus RO; we recommend from your numbers.
We visit your home and test your water for hardness, pH, TDS and iron, then walk you through the results and your options, with no obligation. Book it by calling (800) 951-5898.
