Rancho Bernardo is a north inland San Diego neighborhood of established homes, golf-course communities, and townhomes. 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 Rancho Bernardo and nearby Rancho Peñasquitos, Scripps Ranch and Poway.
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 Rancho Bernardo, 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.
Every system we install in Rancho Bernardo is matched to the water your supplier actually delivers and the way your home is plumbed.
Stop scale at the source. Our softener removes hardness for the whole house and its built-in carbon treats the chloramine the City of San Diego uses, protecting your water heater and appliances in Rancho Bernardo's hard water.

Learn more →For drinking and cooking water, our under-sink reverse osmosis system removes 94–99% of dissolved solids and delivers bottled-water quality from its own faucet in your Rancho Bernardo kitchen.
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.
