Under-Sink Drinking Water Filtration in San Marcos, CA.

What makes under-sink water filtration different in San Marcos, CA?
San Marcos draws from hard, chloraminated municipal supply and runs hot inland summers. High summer temperatures accelerate scale deposits in water heaters and water-using appliances. Hard water damage here shows faster than in coastal neighborhoods.

What is the difference between under-sink filtration and reverse osmosis?
Under-sink filtration removes chloramine, taste compounds, sediment, and specific contaminants using carbon and specialty media. Reverse osmosis adds a membrane stage that also removes dissolved solids including sodium, nitrates, heavy metals, and PFAS. RO produces higher purity water but is more expensive and wastes some water. We recommend based on your water test results.
Will I need a new hole drilled for the dedicated faucet?
Most kitchen sinks have an existing knockout hole used for a soap dispenser or vegetable spray that works perfectly for the dedicated faucet. If not, one gets drilled. It is a straightforward step handled during the install.
