Sorrento Valley is a small area in northwest San Diego, mostly businesses, close to residential neighborhoods like Carmel Valley and University City. 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 Sorrento Valley and nearby University City, Carmel Valley and Del Mar.

Sorrento Valley water · what's in your tap

What's in Sorrento Valley's tap water?

In Sorrento Valley, 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.

What we usually recommend for Sorrento Valley homes

In condos and townhomes, space and HOA rules matter. An under-sink reverse osmosis system is the easiest upgrade, and where there's room for a whole-home tank, our salt-free conditioner + carbon tank needs no drain line or salt. Single-family homes nearby usually fit our standard softener.
