Water Treatment for Redlands Wells
Redlands well water comes from citrus belt alluvial deposits, which creates specific water quality challenges that require targeted treatment solutions.
What's in Redlands Well Water?
- Hardness: 10-18 grains — causes scale buildup, soap scum, appliance damage
- TDS: 400-800 ppm — affects taste and indicates mineral content
- Common contaminants: hard water (10-18 grains), nitrates, moderate TDS
Recommended Treatment Systems for Redlands
Water Softener (Essential)
With 10-18 grains hardness, a softener is critical for Redlands 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 Redlands, 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
System Sizing for Redlands Wells
Your well produces 10-25 GPM. We size treatment systems based on:
- Well flow rate (10-25 GPM)
- Household size and peak demand
- Specific contaminants in your water test
- Water usage patterns (irrigation, livestock, residential)
Neighborhoods We Serve in Redlands
South Redlands, East Redlands, University area, Mentone area, Crafton — each area has slightly different water quality based on local geology.
Why Redlands Needs Treatment
Historic citrus belt city. University of Redlands. Victorian architecture. Mostly on municipal water but outlying areas (Mentone, Crafton) use wells. Good alluvial yields. Near San Bernardino Mountains foothills.
This geological and geographic context means Redlands wells commonly require treatment for: hard water (10-18 grains), nitrates, moderate TDS.
