Water treatment built for San Ysidro's water

San Ysidro is San Diego's southernmost community, right at the border, with a mix of older single-family homes and multi-family properties. 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 San Ysidro and nearby Otay Mesa, Paradise Hills and National City.

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

San Ysidro water · what's in your tap

What's in San Ysidro's tap water?

In San Ysidro, 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.

Older homes · San Ysidro

What we usually recommend for San Ysidro homes

Older homes here often have original pipes and fixtures that scale up fast, and none of them came with a softener loop. We plumb in at the main line and size the system to protect what's already there. Most homeowners go with our standard softener and carbon system, and the salt-free conditioner + carbon tank works when there's no good drain spot.
