Whole-House Filtration in Palomar Mountain, CA.
Whole-House Filtration for Palomar Mountain homes, done by licensed San Diego County technicians. San Diego water is a blend of Colorado River and State Water Project sources, treated with chloramine rather than plain chlorine. Standard carbon filters won't break down chloramine.
What whole-house filtration looks like in Palomar Mountain
Palomar Mountain sits at 5,500 feet with 35-40 inches of annual rainfall and every home draws from a private well, so whole-home filtration here starts with a different threat profile than the city supply. Surface water infiltration during the mountain's frequent heavy rain events is the primary concern, meaning bacteria protection via UV disinfection belongs at the front of any treatment sequence before sediment filtration and conditioning. Our stainless steel tanks hold up in the wet, high-rainfall mountain environment without the surface degradation that fiberglass liners can develop after years of exposure.

Why do I need a whole-house filter instead of just a pitcher or faucet filter?
Point-of-use filters only treat the water at one tap. Chloramine and other compounds in San Diego water are absorbed through the skin and inhaled as steam during showers. A whole-house system filters every gallon entering the home, covering every shower, faucet, and appliance.
What makes stainless steel tanks better than the fiberglass tanks most companies use?
Fiberglass tanks have a plastic inner liner that can degrade over time and shed microscopic particles into the water. Medical-grade 304 and 316 stainless steel does not corrode, does not degrade, and does not introduce anything into your water. It is the same grade used in food processing and medical equipment. The tank itself becomes a permanent part of your home infrastructure.
