Why San Diego Water Is Different
San Diego imports most of its water from hundreds of miles away — and it shows up at your tap.
-
Where Your Water Comes From
San Diego imports over 80% of its drinking water from the Colorado River and the California State Water Project. By the time it reaches your home, it's traveled hundreds of miles, picking up minerals and organic material along the way. (Source: City of San Diego Water Supply)
-
Very Hard Water
San Diego's water averages 16-18 grains per gallon — well into "very hard" territory (anything above 10.5 gpg qualifies). That's the source of the scale buildup, water spots, and dry skin and hair many San Diego homeowners deal with. (Source: City of San Diego Water Quality Report)
-
Chlorine & Chloramine
Instead of plain chlorine, San Diego treats its water with chloramine — a mix of chlorine and ammonia. It's more stable over distance, but harder to filter out, which is why San Diego tap water often has a stronger taste and smell than other cities. (Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)
San Diego Water Hardness (Grains Per Gallon)
Why Whole House Filtration Is the Right Solution
Hard water stains, chlorine smell, dry skin and hair — these aren't problems you can solve one glass at a time. They affect the water running through your entire home, from your kitchen sink to your shower and appliances. Whole house filtration treats the water at the source, before it reaches each of them.
An under-sink filter can improve the water you drink, but it doesn't treat the water flowing through your showers, pipes, and appliances. A traditional water softener addresses hardness, but doesn't remove chlorine or other contaminants. Filtercon's whole house system is designed to address both — treating your home's water at the source, in one installation.

I have had my Filtercon system for the whole house for 6 years now and couldn’t be happier with it! It works perfectly and is a high quality water filtering system. It has been so wonderful and luxurious to have filtered water for drinking, showering and cooking without having to haul in those heavy water jugs constantly from the store. The staff at Filtercon is amazing.

What Customers Say About Our Whole House Water Filtration System
Whole House Water Filtration System FAQ
Have questions? Below are the most common things people ask about our whole house water filtration systems — including performance, maintenance, and installation.
-
Yes. Our system is specifically designed to reduce chlorine and chloramines, which are common in San Diego’s municipal water. This helps improve the taste, smell, and overall safety of your home’s water supply.
-
Not in the traditional sense. Our system uses Template Assisted Crystallization (TAC) to prevent hard minerals from sticking to pipes and appliances. You get the benefits of reduced scale without salt, slick water, or ongoing maintenance.
-
Yes. Our systems are designed to be as low-maintenance as possible. Unlike many other systems, we don’t typically require a pre-sediment filter because our main filter media goes down to 5 microns. That means fewer parts to worry about and virtually no ongoing maintenance for most homeowners.
-
No. Our systems are properly sized for your home to ensure you get strong, consistent water pressure throughout your plumbing — even while filtering all the water entering your home.
-
Yes. We provide professional installation throughout San Diego County, including North County, East County, and the coastal region. We also serve parts of Riverside County, such as Menifee and Corona, and may offer installation in other areas depending on the situation. Just reach out and we’ll let you know if we can accommodate your location.
-
We provide full professional installation, including site evaluation, plumbing the system into your main water line, and configuring it based on your water quality. Our licensed installers make sure everything is secure, optimized, and tested before they leave. The system can be installed in your garage, utility room, or outdoors with proper weather protection. During your quote, we’ll help you choose the best location for performance and convenience.
-
Yes. The system can be uninstalled and reinstalled at a new location. It’s a long-term investment in water quality, and we’re happy to help with relocation support if you're staying in the San Diego area.
-
The main filtration media is designed to last up to 10 years, depending on your water quality and usage. Unlike cartridge-based systems that require frequent changes, our system is built for long-term performance with minimal maintenance. The tank and core components are made to last well beyond the media life, making it a smart long-term investment.
