Got Questions? We've Got
Expert Answers.

How much does a water softener cost in Orange County?
The right system depends on your home size, water hardness, and which contaminants show up on the water test. Our team runs a free in home test first so the recommendation matches your actual water instead of an Orange County average.
Do I really need a water softener in Irvine?
Irvine water runs 6.3 to 16 grains per gallon depending on whether your street receives groundwater or Colorado River surface imports. Anything above 10 GPG is classified as hard. Untreated hard water shortens the life of water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines, and leaves the mineral spotting most Irvine homeowners recognize on glassware.
What is the difference between a water softener and a whole-home filter?
A softener removes calcium and magnesium, the minerals that cause scale. A whole-home filter removes chlorine, sediment, and taste/odor contaminants. Puronics FILTRAMAX™ and HYDRONEX® combine both functions in a single tank.
What is SilverShield® HYgene® technology?
SilverShield® HYgene® is a silver-ion technology adapted from NASA's Space Shuttle water purification research. It inhibits bacterial growth inside the filter, which is why Puronics systems have kept their operational life measured in decades rather than years.
Is Puronics a good brand?
Puronics has been building water treatment equipment since 1947 and now serves more than a million residential and commercial customers through 226 dealer locations. Systems are NSF Certified and carry the Water Quality Association Gold Seal.
Do you serve all of Orange County?
Yes. Our team installs and services every city in Orange County, all 34 of them, from our Irvine office at 2372 Morse Ave. Free water tests are available across the entire service area.
How long does a Puronics system last?
Many Puronics installations are still in service after 15 to 20 years. The SilverShield® HYgene® media, brass control valves, and NSF-certified tanks are the reason. Puronics is engineered around long service life, not replacement cycles.
What does the free water test measure?
Hardness in grains per gallon, chlorine, total dissolved solids (TDS), pH, iron, and any contaminants specific to your neighborhood's water source. Our specialist walks you through the results in plain language. No pressure, no obligation.
