Which System Does
Your House Need?
That depends on what your water is doing to your house. Scale and spots call for a softener. A pool smell at the tap is a filtration job. Bad tasting drinking water gets fixed under the kitchen sink. Here is the full lineup we install.
DEFENDER iGEN Softener
If the budget is what decides this, start here. It is the four stage softener in the lineup. It stops the scale and the spots, and it still carries the same silver in the tank that the bigger units use.
- Four stages, SilverShield included
- iGEN valve learns how much water you use
- NSF/ANSI 44 and 372 certified
- Runs on salt or potassium
HYDRONEX iGEN Softener
You want one tank doing both jobs, softening the water and filtering it. The tank is built in layers, so your water gets treated in stages on the way through instead of all at once.
- Softens and filters in one tank
- Layered tank, 30B and 45B sizes
- SilverShield HYgene inside the tank
- Plenty are still running at 15 to 20 years
CLARIUS iGEN Conditioner
Somebody in the house is watching their sodium, or you are just done hauling salt bags into the garage. This one conditions the water instead of softening it, so nothing gets added to what you drink.
- No salt, no sodium added to your water
- Keeps scale off pipes and fixtures
- iGEN valve tracks how much you use
- Worth reading about before you pick it
MICROMAX Drinking Water
Still buying bottled water because the tap tastes wrong? This is the fix, and it lives under the kitchen sink with its own little faucet. A whole home system treats the house. This one treats what you actually drink and cook with.
- Four and five stage models
- Low profile, fits a crowded cabinet
- Its own faucet at the sink
- An end to the bottled water bill
TERMINATOR iGEN Softener
With this one you are paying for the tank. It is stainless steel instead of the usual plastic and fiberglass, which is what you want when the system has to live somewhere hot, like an unshaded side yard or a garage that bakes all summer.
- Four stages, softens and filters
- 316L stainless steel tank
- SilverShield HYgene inside the tank
- iGEN valve learns how much water you use
FILTRAMAX iGEN Softener
This is the one we put in when the water has more than one thing wrong with it. Five stages instead of four, and the extra stage catches grit and rust flecks down to five microns before they ever reach your fixtures.
- Five stages, softens and filters
- Catches sediment down to five microns
- Cuts the chlorine and chloramine taste
- NSF/ANSI 42, 44 and 372 certified
Find Out What Is Actually
In Your Water
You can guess from the spots on the glasses, or you can know. We test the water at your address for hardness, chlorine and everything else, and we tell you what we find even when the answer is that you are fine.

Finally Fix Your Water
How hard your water is comes down to your street, not your city. In Irvine alone, published readings run from 6.3 all the way to 16 grains per gallon depending on which supply feeds the neighborhood. That is why we test the address first. Here is what changes once the water is treated.
Skin That Stops Itching
Hard water leaves a film of minerals and soap on your skin that plain rinsing never quite clears. That film is the itch, and it is why lotion stopped working. Most people notice the difference in the first week of showers.
You Stop Buying So Much Soap
Hard water fights lather, so you use more shampoo, more detergent and more dish soap to get the same result. Soft water lathers on far less of everything. Add the bottled water you stop buying and it shows up on the monthly spend.
Your Water Heater Stops Dying Early
Every gallon of hard water leaves a chalky layer inside your heater, your dishwasher and your pipes. That layer is why a heater rated for fifteen years gives out at eight. Treat the water going in and the scale stops forming.
Water That Tastes Like Water
If your tap tastes like a swimming pool, you are tasting the disinfectant your district uses to keep the water safe on the way to your house. A filtration stage pulls that taste and smell out at every faucet, not just the kitchen.
No More Spots on the Glasses
Those white spots are not dirt. They are the minerals left behind when hard water dries on the glass, which is why scrubbing never fixes them. Take the minerals out and they simply stop appearing, on glassware, shower doors and fixtures alike.
The End of the Bottled Water Run
Most people buy bottled water because they do not trust the taste of the tap, not because they enjoy carrying cases in from the car. Fix the taste at the sink and the cases stop. If salt is your concern, we also install a salt free line.
We Handle the Service
You are not signing up for a cartridge you have to remember to swap out. Most of these systems need no filter changes at all, and the service on them is ours to handle. We installed it, we are based right here in Orange County, and we come back.
How We Compare to Other Water Treatment Companies
You are probably getting two or three quotes, and on paper they look the same. Everyone has brass valves, certifications, licensed installers and a free water test. So here is where we actually differ, line by line.
| Feature | Other Water Treatment Companies | Our Team |
|---|---|---|
| Rent or own | Many push a monthly rental, and the equipment goes back if you stop paying | You own it outright. No monthly fee, no early termination, nothing to give back |
| Salt free or softening | A company that only sells one of the two can only ever recommend that one | We install both, so the recommendation follows your water test and not our catalog |
| New or refurbished | A rental system can arrive used, and you find out on install day | New equipment, sized to the test we ran at your own address |
| Who does the work | Often a salesperson tests and a separate crew you have not met installs | The same C-55 licensed contractor tests your water and installs the system |
| Inside the tank | Standard softening resin | Most of our systems carry SilverShield HYgene, silver that keeps bacteria from growing in the tank |
| When you do not need one | Almost every visit ends in a recommendation to buy something | About one visit in five ends with us telling you your water is fine |
There Is Silver
Inside the Tank
A filter tank sits full of damp water between uses, which is exactly where bacteria like to grow. Most Puronics systems hold silver inside the tank to stop that from happening. The silver ion research behind it came out of NASA water purification work, and it is the reason these tanks do not need a cartridge swapped every few months.

The best softener for your house is the one sized to your water, and around here that usually means it has to do two jobs at once. Orange County water is hard enough to scale up your plumbing, and most of it also arrives carrying a disinfectant you can taste. A softener alone handles the first problem and does nothing about the second. That is why the systems we install soften and filter in the same tank, and why we test your address before we recommend a size.
- Puronics has built water treatment equipment since 1947, for more than a million customers
- Certified to NSF/ANSI 44 and 42, and carrying the WQA Gold Seal
- Your water test is free, takes about 30 minutes, and you owe us nothing after it

What Happens
When You Call Us
Nobody enjoys booking a home visit from a company that sells something. Here is exactly how ours goes, so there are no surprises.
We test your water, not an average
Hardness, chlorine, dissolved solids, pH, iron. We run it at your sink, because the number on your street is not the number two cities over, and in Irvine alone the published readings run from 6.3 to 16 grains per gallon.
You get the results in plain English
We walk you through what came back and what it is doing to your heater, your fixtures and your skin. About one visit in five ends with us telling the homeowner their water is fine and they do not need us.
If you do need a system, we size it
Then we install it ourselves under our own California C-55 license, pull the permit where the city wants one, and service it afterwards. You are not handed off to a subcontractor you have never met.
