Water Filtration and Water Softener Installation in Wildomar

$2,995 Installed

Whole-home filter and water softener, plus a free 8-stage tankless reverse osmosis system. Equipment and professional installation included.

Wildomar sits on the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District system, the same supply serving Lake Elsinore, where hardness measures 15 to 25 grains per gallon. Very hard begins at 10, so Wildomar homes are dealing with roughly double that.

What makes Wildomar its own job is the property mix. The city incorporated in 2008, and it carries a wider spread of lot sizes and building eras than the master-planned cities around it.

Measured hardness in Wildomar

15 to 25 grains per gallon, measured in the adjacent Lake Elsinore area on the same EVMWD system. Supplied by Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District.

How hard is the water in Wildomar?

Wildomar shares the EVMWD system with Lake Elsinore, where the measured range is 15 to 25 grains per gallon. That is our basis for the figure here rather than a Wildomar-specific measurement.

Because we are reasoning from an adjacent reading rather than your address, we test at the hose bib before quoting. That takes a few minutes and removes the guesswork.

Larger lots, semi-rural parcels and wells

Wildomar has a good number of larger and semi-rural parcels, particularly out toward Bundy Canyon and the older ranch properties. Some of those are on private wells rather than district supply.

Well water is a different problem. It can carry iron, manganese and sediment on top of hardness, and a softener by itself will not stop iron staining fixtures and laundry. On a well we test first and size filtration to what the test shows rather than assuming the standard combo fits.

The newer tracts and the softener loop

The newer subdivisions built through the 2000s, including The Farm area and the tracts off Clinton Keith, are recent enough that a garage softener loop is common.

Check for two capped copper or PEX stubs close together near where the main line enters. If they are there the install is a tie-in rather than a cut into the main, which saves time and money. On the older parcels expect the fuller job.

Water filtration questions from Wildomar homeowners

Who supplies water in Wildomar?
Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, the same agency serving Lake Elsinore and Canyon Lake. Hardness on that system measures 15 to 25 grains per gallon in the Lake Elsinore area.
How much is a water softener in Wildomar?
The whole-home filter and water softener combo is $2,995 installed, equipment and professional installation included, plus a free 8-stage tankless reverse osmosis system. Properties on private wells are quoted after testing.
I am on a well in Wildomar. Does the combo work?
Not necessarily as-is. Well water can carry iron, manganese and sediment along with hardness, and a softener alone will not resolve iron staining. We test the well first and size filtration to what it actually shows before quoting.
