Water Treatment for Highland Wells
Highland well water comes from San Bernardino alluvial deposits, which creates specific water quality challenges that require targeted treatment solutions.
What's in Highland Well Water?
- Hardness: 12-18 grains — causes scale buildup, soap scum, appliance damage
- TDS: 450-800 ppm — affects taste and indicates mineral content
- Common contaminants: hard water (12-18 grains), nitrates in some areas
Recommended Treatment Systems for Highland
Water Softener (Essential)
With 12-18 grains hardness, a softener is critical for Highland homes. Benefits:
- Eliminates scale buildup on fixtures, water heater, appliances
- Softer skin and hair, better soap lathering
- Extends lifespan of well pump and plumbing
- Reduces water heater energy costs by 25-30%
Reverse Osmosis (RO) System
With TDS levels up to 800 ppm in Highland, an RO system provides:
- Ultra-pure drinking water (removes 95-99% of dissolved solids)
- Better taste (removes minerals, sulfates, nitrates)
- Typically installed under kitchen sink

- Well flow rate (10-25 GPM)
- Household size and peak demand
- Specific contaminants in your water test
- Water usage patterns (irrigation, livestock, residential)
