About The Water Co

Started by a firefighter. Built one call at a time.

  • Goulds
  • FloWise
  • Hydronix
  • Water Pro
  • Defiance

Zach Shepard started The Water Co in West Palm Beach in 2015 alongside a friend who had spent years in the water treatment industry. Zach kept his firefighting career while building the business, which meant every service call had to be done right the first time.

We install Clack, Goulds, Water Pro, Defiance, FloWise, and Hydronix systems. That is the full list. No discount brands, no systems we cannot stand behind. When something goes wrong, Zach answers. Not a call center, not a subcontractor.

We serve Palm Beach County with a focus on The Acreage area. Most installs are done in as little as 4 hours. We do not quote before we test.

Meet Zach and AJ.

Zach founded the company in 2015 while working as a firefighter, and AJ works jobs alongside him. Customers name them both in their reviews.

Family owned. ASL-friendly service.

How we work.

Test first, quote second

We never send a quote before we see your water. Every property has different water chemistry. A system sized for the wrong problem is just expensive hardware.

No subcontractors

Every install is done by our team. Not dispatched out. We are accountable for every connection we make.

Brands that last

We do not install budget brands. The systems we put in are the ones we are willing to service for years after installation.

5+ star rating for Water Co! They installed a whole-house water filtration + softener system and a dedicated reverse osmosis unit under our kitchen sink, and the difference is night and day. Water tastes incredible, no more hard-water spots on dishes or fixtures, skin and hair feel softer after showers, and the coffee tastes like it should! Zack and AJ were professional, on time, super clean, and took the time to explain everything. Pricing was fair and transparent--no surprises. Best home upgrade we've made in years. Highly recommend Water Co. to anyone in the area!

5/5 Review for The Water Co I recently had The Water Co install a brand new water softener and carbon filter for my city water, and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, their team demonstrated outstanding professionalism, hard work, and top-tier customer service. Zach and AJ arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and took the time to answer all my questions without rushing. The installation itself was done with precision and care, and they made sure everything was set up perfectly before they left. Since the installation, the improvement in my water quality has been incredible. The system runs flawlessly, and I feel confident knowing it was installed by a team that genuinely knows their craft. If you're considering a water softener or carbon filter, I highly recommend The Water Co. Their dedication, expertise, and customer-first approach make them an easy choice.

AJ and Zach came out after being recommended by a close friend of mine because being on a well, I have very hard water and was leaving rust on everything! They were prompt and professional. Answered all my questions and even provided me with education on maintaining my system for longevity. They had everything they needed in the truck and had me back up and running in less than an hour. If I could give them 10 stars I would. Don't waste time reading another review- just call these guys and they'll take care of you.
