What should I record first?
List the fixtures likely to run together and the source's available pressure and flow. A system can have enough daily treatment capacity while still creating excessive pressure loss or insufficient contact time during a busy household period.
What changes the recommendation?
Compare service flow, pressure drop at that flow and any backwash requirement with actual supply capability. A private-well pump and pressure tank impose constraints different from those of a municipal service line.
What should the service scope include?
Ask the proposal to state its assumptions, operating range and future access. Oversizing without a treatment reason can also create cost or service problems. Retain the sizing notes so later troubleshooting can distinguish a changed household need from a component failure.
Use the correct Palm City source
Confirm the supplying account or household well. Martin County’s 2025 Drinking Water Quality Report, public system4431891, is public-system context and not an individual tap or private-well result. The County utility map helps identify the account. A separate irrigation well may feed landscaping rather than the household. Source reviewed October 3, 2026.
