Water Filtration & Softening
in Irvine, CA
Irvine Ranch Water District delivers 320 PPM very hard water to your home. Our whole-home filtration systems remove hardness, chlorine, and scale — for softer skin and better-tasting water from every tap.
Why Irvine Homes Need Water Filtration
Irvine's water is supplied by the Irvine Ranch Water District (IRWD), which blends imported Colorado River and State Water Project supplies with local groundwater. The result is very hard water at approximately 320 PPM — well above the 120 PPM threshold that defines hard water.
IRWD also uses chloramines at roughly 2.1 mg/L for disinfection. While safe to drink, chloramines leave a chemical taste and odor and can dry out skin and hair. The high mineral content causes scale buildup on fixtures, glassware, and appliances — the most common water complaint we hear from Irvine homeowners.
