Softening and purification do two different jobs. Installed together on your main line, they help tackle Marathon’s moderate hardness plus sediment concerns from municipal, well, or cistern setups—so you get scale control and better-tasting water at every tap for less than buying two systems separately.
Start with the softener on its own, or bundle it with purification below. Every price here is installed by our own technicians—ready for Marathon’s coastal conditions and water sources.
Softener only—salt-based or saltless, same price either way. Soft water at every tap in your Marathon home, fitted in one visit.
$1,495
Installed Salt-based or saltlessBoth kinds do the same job for your plumbing and appliances—they just do it differently, and both cost the same on their own or in a package. With Marathon’s moderate hardness, choose based on how you want to live with it, not on price.
A high-capacity resin tank—up to 42,000 grains—removes calcium and magnesium (moderate hardness is common in Marathon). An electronic control valve meters actual use and regenerates on demand, not on a timer.
A single tank on the main line. A catalytic media bed converts dissolved hardness into microscopic crystals that stay suspended in the water instead of plating out on your pipes, and a conditioning stage helps keep them off plumbing surfaces—ideal for Marathon homes on municipal supply, wells, or cisterns.
Same price either way Salt-based or saltless, your package price does not change. Tell us which one you want when we schedule your Marathon install—or ask and we’ll help you choose what fits your home.
Your softener, plus the purification stage you want, plumbed in together on one visit for one installed price. A great fit for Marathon homes where sediment control can matter with municipal, well, or cistern water.

How It Works In Your Home
The two systems sit in series on the line coming into the house. The softener handles Marathon’s moderate hardness minerals that can scale up your water heater and fixtures; the purification stage handles what you can taste and smell. Neither does the other’s job — which is why they belong together in the Florida Keys.
Municipal supply or a local well/cistern system — exactly as it arrives, before filtration and sediment control.
Targets calcium and magnesium in Marathon’s moderate-hard water so scale never gets a start.
In every packageSediment + carbon help remove grit, chlorine, chemicals, and the taste/odor you notice at the tap.
1 or 3 stagesClear water lets UV-C reach bacteria, viruses and cysts — chemical free.
Packages 2, 4 & 5A final polish at the kitchen tap for better drinking and cooking water in Marathon.
Package 5 only
Softener + purification equipment, housings, cartridges, fittings, and all parts for your Marathon home.
Both systems plumbed in series on your main line and commissioned by our own Marathon-based crew.
No second appointment and no coordinating two installers—your Marathon install is done together.
We test your water and verify flow, pressure, and every stage before we leave your Marathon property.
No surprises. The package price is the installed price in Marathon.
We stand behind our work and your water in the Florida Keys.

A water softener deals with hardness—the dissolved calcium and magnesium that bake onto the inside of your water heater, crust up your shower head and leave spots on the glassware. In Marathon, water hardness is often moderate, but it can still cause scale over time. A purification system deals with everything else: the sediment and rust travelling through the main, the chlorine and chemicals you can taste and smell, and, with UV, the bacteria, viruses and cysts that no filter cartridge is designed to stop—especially relevant for Florida Keys homes on municipal supply or local well/cistern setups where filtration and sediment control matter. One will not do the other’s job. That is the whole reason these packages exist—the two systems are plumbed in series on the line coming into your house, in one visit, for one installed price that is lower than buying them separately. Choose the softener you prefer, choose how far you want the purification side to go, and we handle the rest.
Both systems sit on the main line, so every tap gets the same treated water—from Duck Key to Key Colony Beach.
Hardness is handled before it reaches the water heater or a single fixture in your Marathon home.
Enjoy sparkling, spot-free dishes, glassware, and silverware after every wash in Marathon.
Protects water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines from costly damage in the Florida Keys.
Brighter, softer clothes with less fading, wear, and tear over time.
One company maintains both systems—cartridges, salt, and lamps included for Marathon customers.
