Costa Mesa's Water Is Softer, But Not Simple
Costa Mesa's water reads softer than most of the county, around 6.6 grains per gallon on average, but it's chloraminated rather than plain chlorine, which is the flat, chemical taste some households notice even when the hardness number looks mild. That taste is what drives dry skin, dull hair and a lingering film on glassware here more than hardness alone.
Why Costa Mesa Homeowners Choose Puronics
Eastside bungalows, Mesa Verde tract homes and newer townhomes near South Coast Plaza all deal with the same chloraminated supply, and homeowners who've invested in Miele, Sub-Zero or Wolf appliances want them protected from an issue a softener alone won't fix. We spec catalytic carbon filtration built for chloramine, which clears the chemical taste, protects premium appliances and fixtures, and pairs with softening when a specific address runs toward the harder end of Mesa Water's range.
- Free water test at your Costa Mesa address confirms the current chloramine level and hardness reading, since Mesa Water's range runs wider than the average suggests.
- Clears the flat, chemical taste chloramine leaves even when the hardness number itself looks mild.
- Protects premium appliances, Miele, Sub-Zero, Wolf, from chloramine exposure a standard filter cartridge can't stop.
- Catalytic carbon filtration pairs with softening for addresses running toward the harder end of Mesa Water's 1.3 to 14 grain range.
- CA C-55 licensed install, warranty stays intact, systems sized to your specific reading, not the district average.
"Costa Mesa is the one city where I explain to homeowners that soft doesn't mean untreated. Mesa Water's low hardness number hides a real chloramine issue." Gregg Stewart, Owner, CA C-55 #904801, (714) 545-3022
