1. Understand Your Water’s Current State
First off, let’s talk about what’s really going on with your tap water.

Grabbing a water testing kit or booking a free in-home water test with us can shed light on what you’re dealing with and why a whole house water filter might just be what you need.

2. Determine the Specifics of Your Needs
Not all water filters are created equal. Depending on what’s lurking in your water, you might need something a bit more robust, like a system that specializes in softening hard water or one that knocks out contaminants with reverse osmosis. This isn’t just about making a purchase, it’s about making a smart purchase that aligns perfectly with your home’s needs.

3. Prepare Your Home
Now, before you think about installation, consider where your system will go and what adjustments need to be made. Sometimes this means clearing out a space or ensuring your existing plumbing is up to snuff. A little preparation goes a long way in making the installation process smooth and stress-free.

4. Budget Appropriately
Let’s talk numbers. A whole house water filter is an investment, and quality comes at a price. But think of it this way: you’re investing in the health of your family and the longevity of your home’s plumbing and appliances. I always say, don’t cut corners where it counts, but do ensure you’re getting a system that offers real value for your buck.

You’re Not Just Tired of Hard Water. You’re Tired of the Runaround.

Most Systems Sell Simplicity. We Deliver Protection.

I’ve been doing this for decades. And I can tell you, most systems aren’t built wrong.
They’re sold wrong.

They don’t test your pressure. They don’t check your copper. They give you the same setup they give everyone else.

At McCowin Water, we slow it down, test your actual water, and build a system matched to your house, your pressure, and your needs.


 

What You’re Probably Dealing With (And No One Told You)

  • Pinhole copper leaks from chlorine that’s never removed
  • Scale buildup torching your heater, dishwasher, and fixtures
  • Dry skin and flare-ups from chloramines and hard minerals
  • Bottled water habits because you still don’t trust your tap

If that sounds familiar, you’re not crazy. You’re just ready for clarity.


 

What We Actually Do

  • Reverse Osmosis + Whole-Home Filtration
  • No sodium sludge, no cookie-cutter kits
  • Real installs done by certified techs, not sales guys
  • Systems built for longevity, not callbacks
  • Every install starts with a free, in-home test

We’re not trying to sell you something.
We’re here to protect your plumbing, your people, and your peace of mind.


 

Here’s What You’ll Get With Us:

  • Real conversation, not a pitch
  • The same system I use in my own home
  • Custom-calibrated setup for your PSI and contaminant profile
  • Under-sink RO if needed; installed clean and tested before we leave

Up to 25-year warranty, registered by us before you even ask

Follow-up call to confirm: no leaks, no issues, no nonsense

We’ve been doing this since 1972. And the truth hasn’t changed:
“If you don’t filter your water, your body is the filter.


 

Let’s Fix That.

Call us at (949) 569-5736 or schedule your free water test today.

You’ll meet one of us. Not a subcontractor. Not a closer. We’ll walk your system, test your water, and tell you the truth.

That’s how we’ve done it for over 50 years.

Because around here? Clear water means clear conscience.
