Most homes start here

San Diego’s water has a problem. Here’s what the numbers say.
San Diego’s municipal water meets every current legal standard. Legal and ideal are not the same number. This is what testing consistently shows in San Diego County homes.
16.3
Grains per gallon of hardness
“Very hard” starts at 10.5. At this level scale builds in water heaters, pipes, and appliances, soap stops lathering, and skin and hair feel dry.
NH₂Cl
Chloramine disinfection
San Diego uses chloramine instead of free chlorine. Standard pitcher and faucet filters do not remove it. It takes catalytic carbon or reverse osmosis.
PFAS
Forever chemicals detected
Found near Camp Pendleton, MCAS Miramar, and other military sites where firefighting foam was used. Reverse osmosis removes up to 99%.
0.36
ppb of chromium-6
Roughly 18 times the level many researchers consider safe. The EPA does not currently regulate chromium-6 specifically.

Real reviews from real customers, posted on Google.
M
★★★★★
“The day before my installation, Jack came by my house to assess where to properly place the system so there would be no surprise for the tech. A day later, Martin was able to install my water system professionally and without any problems. I would highly recommend San Diego Pure Water to anyone.”
S
★★★★★
“We had been renting a soft water system for 25 years. It’s insane how much we’ve spent. This is far more affordable and instead of soft water we have completely filtered drinking water from every spout.”
J
★★★★★
“I found the technician very knowledgeable and caring about his work. He and his supervisor laid out a plan to improve our system and the work was completed efficiently and professionally. I highly recommend San Diego Pure Water!”
