💧 What’s In Del Mar’s Water?

      • Del Mar’s water comes from the San Diego County Water Authority, primarily supplied by imported sources like the Colorado River and Northern California rivers.

        According to the latest water quality reports, the water is safe per federal guidelines — but that doesn’t mean it’s ideal for drinking, bathing, or long-term health.

        Common Contaminants Found in Del Mar Water:

        • Chlorine & Chloramine: Used to disinfect water, but causes dryness, irritation, and poor taste

        • Trihalomethanes (THMs): Byproducts of chlorine disinfection that are linked to long-term health risks

        • Hard Minerals (Calcium & Magnesium): Responsible for scale buildup, appliance wear, and dry skin

        • Fluoride: Added for dental health but controversial in high concentrations

        • Lead, Arsenic, Nitrates (in some older homes): Leached from aging pipes or plumbing systems

        • PFAS (“Forever Chemicals”): Found in trace levels in many water supplies across the U.S.

    🧪 How We Assess & Improve Water Quality in Del Mar

  • At Plumbing Plus, we take a multi-step approach to improving the water in your home:

    1. Water Quality Testing

    We conduct onsite or laboratory-based testing to measure chlorine, hardness, pH, and contaminant levels.

    2. Customized Recommendations

    Based on your water profile, we recommend filtration, softening, or purification systems — never upsells or gimmicks.

    3. Professional Installation

    We install whole-house filtration, reverse osmosis systems, water softeners, and combo units with clean, code-compliant workmanship.

    4. Ongoing Support

    We remind you when to replace filters and provide scheduled maintenance to keep your system operating at peak performance.

  • 🚿 What Better Water Means for Del Mar Homeowners

    1. Improved Taste & Smell: Eliminate chemical odors and metallic taste

    2. Softer Skin & Hair: No more chlorine dryness or irritation

    3. Protected Appliances: Reduce buildup and extend lifespan of water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines

    4. Lower Energy Bills: Softer water means more efficient appliance performance

    5. Healthier Drinking Water: Filter out harmful contaminants and enjoy clean, great-tasting water on demand
