What Are The Best Water Treatment Solutions For The Bradenton Area?
With this combination of water resources, Bradenton water quality often faces our share of water filtration and treatment issues:
Surface water, like rivers and snow melt, absorb contaminants that can be harmful for consumption as well as annoying around the home. Most of these contaminants include naturally occurring bio materials and minerals. This means water quality can worsen seasonally when warming temperatures contribute to algal blooms, or heighten water sensitivity to microorganism growth.
Ground water presents its own treatment challenges and filtration issues, so Sarasota residents with primarily ground water service may see different water problems than those using water from Sarasota’s surface water sources. Most often, these manifest as hard water problems which cause buildup on faucets and fixtures, and can be hard on appliances and plumbing.
What is Bradenton, Florida’s Water Quality?
The City of Bradenton Utilities Department provides water to over 61,000 residents through more than 20,000 service connections. Each year, the city treats and delivers more than 4.5 billion gallons of water to homes and businesses in the area.
Bradenton’s primary source of drinking water is the Manatee River, supplemented by water from Lake Manatee, which feeds into the Lake Manatee Water Treatment Plant. This surface water source is treated with processes including coagulation, flocculation, filtration, disinfection, and corrosion control. The treated water meets or exceeds all state and federal safety standards.
However, surface water sources like rivers and lakes are more vulnerable to contamination from agricultural runoff, stormwater, and algal blooms, which can introduce excess nutrients or other contaminants into the supply.
Does Bradenton Have Hard Water?
Yes—Bradenton is known to have moderately to very hard water, often measuring around 150–250 parts per million (ppm) of hardness, per Manatee County. The high levels of calcium and magnesium in the water can cause scaling in pipes and appliances, reduce the efficiency of water heaters, and leave behind white spots on dishes and fixtures.
Many Bradenton homeowners turn to water softening systems to combat these issues and improve water quality throughout their homes.
Water Treatment in Bradenton, FL
While the city of Bradenton treats its water to meet legal limits, some residents still report concerns such as:
