Why San Diego Needs Water Filtration Services
The drinking water in San Diego County meets or exceeds state and federal water quality standards for safety and quality. But it doesn’t meet most residents’ standards for taste and odor! The unsatisfying taste and aroma are caused by the chlorine, disinfection byproducts, and other treatment additives, along with unfiltered lead. Water filtration services like reverse osmosis can greatly improve the taste and smell of tap water in San Diego.
One of San Diego County’s primary water sources is the Colorado River, which is rich in hard mineral content. That high mineral content is the reason our water is considered moderately hard to hard, with an average hardness level of about 16 grains per gallon. Hard water can cause scale and soap scum buildup, reduced water flow, spotty dishes, and fabrics that feel rough. Water softening using salt and salt-free water conditioning services are proven solutions for reducing the effects of hard water.
Benefits of Water Treatment Systems
Depending on your situation, you can choose from various water treatment options. You’ll benefit immediately and in the long term with a decision to contact Bill Howe for your water treatment services. You’ll save money when you no longer need to buy bottled water. If you’ve been drinking the water from your tap, you’ll appreciate the better taste, knowing it’s also better for your health.
Hard water is rough on plumbing and appliances, like washing machines and refrigerator based ice makers. Water treatment helps prevent many issues that arise from hard water, and helps to reduce repair frequency.

If you live in San Diego and have experienced odd-tasting drinking water or hard water stains, you’re not alone. While San Diego’s water supply is perfectly safe to drink, the city’s treatment process can affect the water’s taste. The high levels of calcium and magnesium, however, aren’t filtered, potentially causing damage to plumbing, appliances, and surfaces like porcelain. If you want better-tasting and softer water, professional water treatment services from Bill Howe are the solution.
Difference Between Water Softening and Water Treatment Services
Water treatment services purify water through filtration, disinfection, and chemical removal for various uses. Softening is a type of water treatment, but it requires different technology and treatment methods. Some water treatment systems using filtration may minimize minerals, but they aren’t considered a practical softening solution.
Water softeners treat hard water by using salt and ion-exchange to remove calcium and magnesium, which cause buildup in plumbing pipes and appliances. The process replaces the hard water minerals with sodium, potassium, and other soft water minerals. The resulting softer water is better for your plumbing, appliances, and your skin and hair.
Bill Howe Plumbing offers water testing by trained professionals for chemicals, lead, bacteria, and other contaminants. The levels of these contaminants will help you determine the ideal water treatment to meet your specific needs. Bill Howe also offers hard water testing that measures the grains per gallon of magnesium and calcium in your water supply. The results of a hard water test help determine the correct type and size of water softening system for your home.
Whole Home Water Softening Systems
Many of the Bill Howe plumbing service calls are to repair pipes and fixtures damaged by San Diego hard water. A Bill Howe installed water softening system can extend the life of fixtures and appliances, reducing costly repairs. A few of the benefits of installing a whole home water softening system are:
- Reduce soap scum
- Stop calcium build-up on faucets and appliances
- Alleviate dry skin and hair
- Eliminate water spots and film on dishes
Our whole home scale reduction system is a salt-free method to treat hard water as an alternative to a water softening system.
