Well Water Filtration & Commercial Water Treatment For San Diego & California
Since 1998 we have been providing San Diego and all of California with the best possible water filtration systems for well water, irrigation, residential & vacation homes, commercial business, craft beer breweries, agriculture and livestock farms. We offer salt free water conditioners, chemical-free well water filters, low waste reverse osmosis systems and more . Whether you reside in Southern or Northern California we can help provide a solution for your city tap water or well water treatment needs.
California faces a variety of water quality issues due to its diverse landscapes, industrial activities, and agricultural needs:
- High TDS Levels: Many parts of California, especially agricultural regions like the Central Valley, experience high levels of total dissolved solids (TDS) due to mineral-rich soils, irrigation practices, and groundwater salinity.
- Nitrate Contamination: Agricultural runoff, especially from fertilizers, has led to elevated nitrate levels in groundwater sources. This is particularly a concern in the Central Valley, where intensive farming occurs.
- Hard Water: Hard water is common in many areas of California, containing elevated levels of calcium and magnesium. This can cause scaling in pipes, appliances, and water heaters, leading to maintenance issues and reduced efficiency.
- Arsenic Levels: In some areas, particularly in parts of Southern California and the Central Valley, arsenic occurs naturally in groundwater. Addressing this is critical due to arsenic's health risks.
- Pesticides and Herbicides: Runoff from agricultural activities can introduce these contaminants into both surface and groundwater sources, especially in agricultural hubs like the Central Valley.
- Industrial Pollution: Urban areas and regions with high industrial activities, such as the Los Angeles Basin, may face pollution from industrial discharges. This includes volatile organic compounds (VOCs), heavy metals, and other chemicals.
- Chloramine and Chlorine: Many water treatment facilities in California add chloramine or chlorine to control bacteria. While effective for disinfection, these can affect taste and create disinfection byproducts (DBPs) that some customers prefer to remove.
Iron and manganese are common issues in California's irrigation water, especially in areas with groundwater sources. Here are some key points to consider:
- Iron and Manganese Build-Up: In irrigation systems, high iron and manganese levels can lead to clogging of drip emitters, spray nozzles, and other irrigation equipment due to rust and mineral deposits. This reduces water flow efficiency and increases maintenance needs.
- Soil and Plant Impact: While small amounts of iron and manganese are essential for plant health, excessive levels can negatively impact soil quality and plant uptake of nutrients. Iron-rich water can cause "iron chlorosis," which affects the plant's ability to produce chlorophyll, leading to yellowing leaves and reduced crop yield.
- Staining Issues: High iron and manganese can stain plants, soil, and equipment with reddish-brown or black deposits. This is especially problematic for nurseries, golf courses, and ornamental landscaping where aesthetics are important.
- Biological Iron: In some water sources, iron can also support iron bacteria, which create a slimy biofilm that clogs irrigation systems and releases unpleasant odors.
- Treatment Needs: Filtration systems, often paired with oxidation or aeration, can effectively reduce iron and manganese levels. Advanced oxidation and ion exchange are common methods to keep irrigation systems functioning smoothly.
