Expert Source: Water Quality and Treatment Specialist Roger Ugarte Water Quality Specialist and Sales Professional Lutz/Land-O-Lakes, Florida Email: rogerugarte33@gmail.com Phone: 813-399-7836 X/Twitter: @RogerUgart42464 As a seasoned plumbing and water quality specialist with over 25 years in the industry, I specialize in helping families and homeowners achieve clean, safe, and great-tasting water through premium filtration and softening systems. My expertise spans hands-on technical work, sales, management, and consulting, offering a full perspective on water treatment challenges and solutions. I’m passionate about educating on water quality’s impact on health, home efficiency, and wellness—particularly in Florida, facing hard water, contaminants from runoff, and aging infrastructure. Career highlights: Started in 1995 as a plumbing technician in St. Pete/Tampa for ~5 years, focusing on installation and repairs. Relocated to Ohio for 11 years as a sales technician at Mr. Rooter, handling residential/commercial needs. Back in Tampa, served as sales technician at Ben Franklin for 3 years, emphasizing water treatment. Advanced to manager at RedCap Plumbing; after sale, joined AND Services as plumbing department manager, then promoted to director overseeing Sarasota, St. Pete, Tampa, Inverness, Lakeland, Fort Myers. While at AND, began consulting for other firms, including AC companies; currently consult for Black Ops Plumbing in Lutz and Precision Air in Tampa on plumbing/water integrations. I’ve sold/recommended EPA-standard products like reverse osmosis filters, whole-house softeners, and UV systems, improving appliance life, reducing exposures, and enhancing health. I follow policies on environmental regs, infrastructure, and public health.
