Rancho Santa Margarita is a planned south OC community of single-family homes and townhomes around Lake Santa Margarita. South Orange County has very little local groundwater, so most of the drinking water here is imported Colorado River and State Water Project water delivered through the regional Metropolitan Water District system. We install and service water softeners, whole-home filtration, and reverse osmosis systems for homeowners throughout Rancho Santa Margarita and nearby Ladera Ranch, Coto de Caza and Trabuco Canyon.
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 Santa Margarita, water comes from Santa Margarita Water District. Imported Colorado River water is naturally high in hardness minerals, so most taps here test hard to very hard, with the scale, spots, and dry skin that come with it.
Mostly imported Colorado River and Northern California water
Hard to very hard
Chlorine or 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.
Three ways to fix Rancho Santa Margarita's water, from the whole house down to the kitchen faucet. We help you pick the one that solves your actual problem.
Stop scale at the source. Our softener removes hardness for the whole house and its built-in carbon treats the chlorine and chloramine used to disinfect the water, protecting your water heater and appliances in Rancho Santa Margarita's hard water.

Learn more →Skip the bottled water. A 5-stage under-sink RO system with a pressurized storage tank gives Rancho Santa Margarita homes crisp drinking water for a few cents a gallon.
Learn more →Many homes built since the 1990s have a softener loop already plumbed in the garage, which makes installs quick and clean. Our standard 48,000-grain softener with built-in carbon is the usual fit, and households with a pool or heavy use step up to the dual-tank system.
