The city of Tampa routinely tests its water supply, but this may not be enough to ensure your peace of mind. This is partly because your home’s water quality can be affected by factors unrelated to the city’s water supply, such as the condition of your home’s water pipes. For this reason and more, taking extra measures to ensure the purity of your home’s water supply remains a popular choice among local homeowners.
When you need trusted water treatment solutions, you can count on Hawkins Service Company to help. Since 1993, we’ve been the Tampa Bay area’s dependable provider of water treatment solutions.

3 Common Water Issues in the Tampa Bay Area
Even when water is tested and deemed safe, it can still be unpleasant to use. While your safety is always our number one concern, Hawkins Service Co. also prioritizes your comfort and preferences concerning your home’s water supply. Common household water problems we solve include:
- Hard water: Tampa water is considered “hard,” which means it contains a high level of calcium and magnesium. While these minerals are not a health concern, they can be hard on hair and skin, causing dryness when you bathe. They also build up in pipes and wreak havoc on appliances like dishwashers and washing machines, shortening their lifespan.
- Water that smells bad: A common cause of bad-smelling water is bacterial growth in sink drains. Over time, soap and food particles can build up, leading to bacterial growth in pipes, causing a foul odor. Disinfecting pipes and clearing and cleaning drains can solve the problem. But if a foul smell is present from every faucet, further inspection of the water supply, including the water heater tank, is necessary.
- Water that tastes funny: Unpleasant-tasting water can be caused by all kinds of issues. A metallic taste could be caused by the presence of metals like iron, copper or lead (from rusty pipes). A rotten egg or sulfur taste or smell can be caused by bacteria growth in pipes or a water heater issue.
Your Water Treatment Options
Fortunately, ensuring your home has pure, clean, great-tasting water is easier than you think. Hawkins Service Co. offers proven, industry-leading water treatments and tailors them to your home’s precise needs. Our professional water treatment solutions include the following.
Water Softener Installation & Replacement
Tampa’s water is notoriously hard. Installing a whole-home water softener can help improve your water quality and comfort in several surprising ways. Softer water helps:
- Improve the functionality of appliances
- Prevent limescale buildup and hard water spots on shower glass, showerheads, dishes, and more
- Prevent pipe corrosion
- Soothe dry skin and hair
- Improve lathering of soap, helping to clean clothes better and improve bathing
Hawkins Service Co. installs whole-home water softeners, including traditional and saltless systems, depending on your needs. For extremely hard water, traditional water softeners are recommended because they literally remove hard minerals from the water using a process called ion exchange. Saltless systems, on the other hand, don’t remove hard minerals but rather work to minimize their effect.
Water Filtration System Installation
Whole-home water filtration systems work to remove impurities from your home’s water supply so you can feel confident with the water you cook, bathe, and clean with every day. Hawkins Service Co. installs several types of water filtration systems, which can include:
- Sediment filters for removing unwanted particles
- Activated carbon filters for removing organic chemicals like sulfur
- Reverse osmosis filters for removing dissolved salts, lead, arsenic, fluoride, and countless other impurities
