What's in RSM's Fully Imported Water
Santa Margarita Water District has no wells of its own; the entire supply is imported, treated surface water blended from two sources, and what actually reaches Rancho Santa Margarita taps averages fourteen grains per gallon, treated with chloramines throughout. That steady, moderately hard, chloraminated supply is exactly what wears down original fixtures and appliances over two decades of the same daily exposure.
Why RSM Homeowners Choose Puronics
This is a 1990s and 2000s master-planned community, and a lot of original owners are hitting the twenty year mark on water heaters and appliances installed when the house was built, right when scale damage from untreated chloraminated water finally catches up. We size a SilverShield system with catalytic carbon filtration built for RSM's specific chloramine and hardness combination, protecting whatever's left of those original systems and extending new replacements toward their full fifteen to twenty year life.
- Free water test at your RSM address confirms your exact reading within the district's fourteen grain average.
- Catalytic carbon filtration clears the chloramine taste that a standard filter can't touch, on top of addressing hardness.
- Protects original water heaters and appliances hitting their twenty year mark from further scale damage.
- Modern pressure regulators throughout most RSM homes make for a clean, straightforward install.
- CA C-55 licensed install, warranty stays intact, sized to the district's actual delivered reading, not a generic guess.
"RSM's original build-out is hitting the twenty year mark all at once. I'm seeing the same water heater failure story on back to back visits some weeks." Gregg Stewart, Owner, CA C-55 #904801, (714) 545-3022
