What Sets Us Apart
Experience. Education. Certification. And a Commitment to Doing It Right.
At Captain Filtration, we believe choosing a water treatment company is about much more than choosing a piece of equipment.
It starts with choosing the right people.
Water treatment is a specialized industry. Every home has different water conditions, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. That's why we have made education, professional certification, and continuing training a major part of who we are.
One of Florida's Most Highly Certified Water Treatment Teams
Captain Filtration is proud to have built one of the most highly certified water treatment teams we have found in Florida.
Our team holds multiple professional certifications and industry credentials through the Water Quality Association (WQA) and the Florida Water Quality Association (FWQA).
Our certifications include:
- Master Water Specialist
- Certified Water Specialist
- Certified Water Treatment Representative
- Certified Installer
- Certified Service Technician
- Florida Water Quality Association
- Water Quality Association
These certifications represent education and professional training in areas including water chemistry, water treatment, equipment selection, installation, service, and customer education.
We don't display our certifications simply because they look good on our website.
We believe you should know who is evaluating your water and recommending the equipment for your home.
More Than 30 Years of Water Treatment Experience
Todd Buchman has been in the water treatment industry since 1995 and has been a Certified Water Specialist for nearly 30 years.
That experience matters.
Todd's career began because he had water problems in his own home and couldn't find anyone who could properly explain or solve them. Instead of simply accepting an equipment recommendation, he decided to learn the science of water treatment himself.
That same philosophy continues to guide Captain Filtration today:
Test the water. Understand the problem. Recommend the right equipment.
We Believe in Education — Not Just Selling Equipment
One of the biggest differences between Captain Filtration and a typical equipment salesperson is our approach.
We don't believe in recommending a system simply because it's the system we sell.
We first want to understand your water.
We evaluate the water conditions, identify the problems that need to be addressed, and then determine what treatment technology and equipment are appropriate for your home.
We believe the right treatment solution should be based on your water and your home's needs, not on a one-size-fits-all approach.
We Keep Learning
Water treatment continues to evolve.
New contaminants are identified, treatment technologies improve, and equipment continues to change. Professional education doesn't stop when you receive a certification.
That's why Todd, Lauren, and our team continue to invest in education and professional development.
We believe that continuing education helps us stay current and better serve our customers.
Todd & Lauren — A Team Approach
Captain Filtration isn't a one-person operation.
Todd brings more than three decades of hands-on water treatment experience, while Lauren brings her background in business, health and wellness, customer care, and professional water-treatment education.
Together, we have built a team that combines:
Experience. Education. Certification. And genuine customer care.
We believe that combination makes a difference in the service our customers receive.
We Don't Believe in One-Size-Fits-All Water Treatment
Every home is different.
Your water source, water chemistry, plumbing, household needs, and existing equipment all play a role in determining the appropriate treatment solution.
That's why we don't believe in simply walking into a home and selling the same system to everyone.
We want to understand your water first.
Then we'll explain what we're finding, answer your questions, and recommend the equipment that makes sense for your specific situation.
Our Promise
You don't have to be a water treatment expert. That's our job.
Our job is to understand your water, explain what we're finding in terms you can understand, and recommend the right solution for your home.
We want our customers to feel confident that they understand:
- What we're recommending.
- Why we're recommending it.
- And how it addresses their water concerns.
That's what sets Captain Filtration apart.
Experience you can trust.
Certifications you can verify.
Solutions designed for your water.
