Clairemont is a large central San Diego neighborhood of mid-century homes on mesas between Mission Bay and Kearny Mesa. City of San Diego tap water is mostly imported Colorado River and Northern California (State Water Project) water, blended with runoff stored in the city's local reservoirs and disinfected with chloramine. We install and service water softeners, whole-home filtration, and reverse osmosis systems for homeowners throughout Clairemont and nearby Linda Vista, Mission Valley and Kearny Mesa.
We start by understanding your home and your water, then only recommend a system if there's an actual problem to fix. No upsell, no pressure.
No mystery numbers and no high-pressure closing. You get a clean written quote for the exact system your home needs, with financing options available.
Clean, professional installations by licensed pros — floors protected, area left spotless — plus a lifetime warranty on the tank so it keeps performing for years.
In Clairemont, water comes from the City of San Diego Public Utilities Department. Colorado River water picks up a lot of calcium and magnesium on its way to San Diego, so City of San Diego water is very hard by the USGS scale (over 180 mg/L). Chloramine is also why the tap water can taste or smell a little like a pool.

Exact numbers vary by address and season. Your water bill shows which supplier serves you, and every supplier publishes an annual water quality report with its hardness readings.
Three ways to fix Clairemont's water, from the whole house down to the kitchen faucet. We help you pick the one that solves your actual problem.
Ion exchange removes the hardness minerals that build scale in Clairemont homes. One tank softens and filters, with a carbon layer for the chloramine the City of San Diego uses, so you get softer showers and spotless glassware.

Learn more →Skip the bottled water. A 5-stage under-sink RO system with a pressurized storage tank gives Clairemont homes crisp drinking water for a few cents a gallon.
Learn more →Most homes from the 1950s through the 1980s were built without a softener loop, so we tie in at the main line where water enters the house, usually near the garage or front hose bib. Our standard softener-and-carbon system fits most of these homes. If a drain or salt tank isn't practical, our salt-free conditioner + carbon tank is the alternative.
