What Every Orange County Homeowner Should Know Before Installing Any Home Water Filtration System (And Why Most Options on the Market Can’t Handle California Water)

If you’re here, it means you’re doing your research.

You’re not looking for hype.
You’re not impressed by flashy sales pages.
You’re looking for answers… and you’re right to be cautious.

Because when it comes to protecting your home, your plumbing, your health, and your wallet…

Not all home water filtration systems are created equal.
And most? They’re not made for the reality of Orange County water.

Let’s talk about why… and what to do about it.

 


 

Who This Is For

This page is for you if:

  • You own a home in Irvine or surrounding areas and care about your family’s water quality

  • You’ve noticed hard water stains, dry skin, or weird smells from your tap

  • You’ve looked into a home water filtration system but didn’t know who to trust

  • You’re tired of the guessing, the filters that never quite work, or the “too good to be true” promises

  • You’re ready to fix your water the right way, but only if the solution actually makes sense

 


 

Who This Isn’t For

We don’t want to waste your time. This system is not for:

  • Renters who can’t make plumbing upgrades

  • People looking for a $49 Amazon gadget to “fix” deep water issues

  • Anyone who’s not ready to understand what’s actually in their water

  • Homeowners who think “soft” water is a luxury, not a necessity

This isn’t a pitch. It’s a conversation starter for the right kind of homeowner; one who’s serious about getting it right, the first time.

 


 

Let’s Get Real About What You’re Up Against

Here’s what most companies don’t want to admit:

California water is hard. Really hard.
It’s full of:

  • Chlorine

  • Iron

  • Sediment

  • Minerals that clog everything

  • And smells that make you second-guess your tap every time you turn it on

Most home water filtration systems just aren’t built to handle that.
They look good. They sell well. But they don’t solve the whole problem.

They might soften your water…
But they won’t remove the sediment.
They might filter chlorine…
But they won’t help your appliances last longer.

And so the real damage continues… just a little more quietly.

 


 

The Hague Maximizer Model 97: Built for Homes Like Yours

This isn’t a gadget.
It’s not a half-solution with a shiny label.

The Hague Maximizer Model 97 is a smart, compact, fully integrated home water filtration system engineered specifically for:

  • Southern California homes

  • Space-limited utility setups

  • Households who want real results without constant maintenance

You don’t just get soft water.
You get a complete transformation in how your home runs.

 


 

Let’s Break Down What You’re Actually Getting

Because clarity builds trust.

The Hague Maximizer Model 97 features:

Smart Touch Controller: One glance tells you what’s going on. Easy to adjust, easy to trust.

Fine Mesh Resin: Removes more minerals with less salt… saves money, reduces maintenance

Ultra-Fil Technology: Handles sediment and grit before it even hits your plumbing

Compact Cabinet Design: Fits into tight spaces without crowding your garage or laundry room

Self-Cleaning: No filters to replace, no cartridges to buy, no surprise costs

Quiet Operation: Runs in the background without disturbing your day

Safety Shut-Off: Built-in backup so you’re protected in case of a system issue

Built-in Bypass Valve: Makes service simple. No tools, no stress

This is what a real home water filtration system should look like.

 


 

The Problems It Solves (That Most People Overlook)

Still wondering if a home water filtration system is worth it?

Here’s what homeowners tell us this system solves, within days of installation:

  • “The smell is gone.”

  • “The dishwasher finally works.”

  • “Our skin feels so much better.”

  • “No more stains in the tub.”

  • “We don’t need to buy bottled water anymore.”

  • “Our water heater sounds different; it’s not working as hard.”

This is what most companies don’t talk about.
But it’s what matters most.

 


 

The Hidden Costs of Doing Nothing

Let’s talk about what it’s costing you right now; if you don’t have the right system:

  • Dry, irritated skin

  • Stained sinks and toilets

  • Hard water spots on glassware

  • Clothing that wears out faster

  • Water heaters and dishwashers that break down early

  • Higher utility bills

  • Constant purchases of bottled water

  • That lingering feeling that your water just isn’t clean

Over the next 12 months, those issues will cost the average homeowner $1,500 – $3,000.
And that’s being conservative.

A real home water filtration system pays for itself, by solving what’s already bleeding you dry.

 


 

Why This Isn’t Like Every Other Water Company You’ve Seen

Look, if you’ve been burned before, I get it.

Maybe someone oversold you. Maybe you bought something cheap that failed. Maybe every company you talk to sounds like they’re reading the same script.

That’s why we do things differently at McCowin Water.

  • We test first. Always.

  • We explain every option. No pressure.

  • We don’t install systems you don’t need.

  • We back our installs with real support.

  • And we tell you the truth, even if it costs us the sale.

Because our job isn’t to “close you.”
It’s to help you protect your home, with a home water filtration system that actually works.

 


 

Why Homeowners Like You Are Making the Switch

Here’s what people just like you say after switching to the Hague Maximizer Model 97:

“One of the reasons I highly recommend McCowin Water is that they carry many different manufacturer and can recommend the one best suited for your needs. It was super important to us that we purchase a system that was extremely efficient and produced the lowest amount of waste water as it produced clean water, and that is exactly what we got.”
— Anita, Laguna Niguel

“We had really hard water and reached out to McCowin to see what options we had. Scott came out and was extremely knowledgable on the topic and helped us choose the right system for our family + got us an installation date in under a week! He was also a pleasure to work with – clear communications, professional, and transparent. 100% would recommend and work with Scott again”
— June, Irvine

“We were completely pleased with the installation of a water softener system. Both Brian and Alan were so very helpful in
answering all our questions and for their professional skill in making needed adjustments to have the water softener fit
absolutely perfectly in our garage. We highly recommend McCowin water for your water softener needs.”
— Ronald and Cindi, Tustin

You don’t have to take their word for it. You can experience it yourself, risk-free.
