What should I record first?
Look for the source, relevant test, complete model and supported treatment purpose. A list of tank sizes or stage counts without an explanation of the measured need is difficult to compare and can hide optional equipment.
What changes the recommendation?
Separate equipment, installation labor, plumbing changes, drain or electrical work, removal and disposal, permits where applicable and startup verification. Ask which costs are fixed and which depend on the site inspection.
What should the service scope include?
Review consumables, regeneration water and supplies, service availability, covered parts and labor and exclusions. Do not rely on a verbal lifetime promise. Compare the result and full ownership scope of competing proposals, then keep the final written settings and maintenance instructions.
Apply the correct source evidence
Confirm the supplier on the property water bill. Port St. Lucie’s public report applies to its Utility Systems customers; a mailing address does not prove supplier, and a private well needs its own testing. See the Port St. Lucie source guide before applying a report or selecting a treatment goal.
Review the 2025 Water Quality Report for the appropriate source boundary. Source review: October 4, 2026. This guide provides decision questions; equipment selection and any safety-related interpretation require appropriate measurements and qualified advice.
