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.
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.
