Water treatment built for La Jolla's water

La Jolla is the coastal community on San Diego's northwest edge, known for its cove, seaside bluffs, and a mix of older homes and newer custom builds. 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 La Jolla and nearby Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach and Point Loma.

Honest recommendations

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.

Flat, written pricing

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.

Licensed installs, backed for life

Clean, professional installations by licensed pros — floors protected, area left spotless — plus a lifetime warranty on the tank so it keeps performing for years.

La Jolla water · what's in your tap

What's in La Jolla's tap water?

In La Jolla, 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.

Main source

Imported Colorado River and Northern California water, plus local reservoir runoff

Typical hardness

Very hard

Disinfectant

Chloramine

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.

Larger homes · La Jolla

What we usually recommend for La Jolla homes

Bigger homes with more bathrooms, a pool, or heavy irrigation use need more capacity than a standard unit. Our dual-tank city water system (96,000 grains, with separate softening and carbon tanks) is built for that kind of demand, while smaller homes here do well with the standard softener.
