Water Filtration in Santa Clarita, CA
Santa Clarita is served by SCVWA rather than LADWP, which matters when sizing a whole-house filtration system. SCVWA uses free chlorine rather than chloramine, so the carbon media requirement is different from the LADWP zones to the south. The local groundwater contribution from the Santa Clara River basin also adds mineral load. We test every home before speccing a system to get the right media stack for the actual supply, not a Valley-wide assumption.
The water supply in Santa Clarita
Santa Clarita is served by Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency. Santa Clarita is served by the Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency (SCVWA), which delivers a blend of imported State Water Project water from Northern California and local groundwater from the Santa Clara River basin. Unlike LADWP to the south, SCVWA uses free chlorine rather than chloramine as its primary disinfectant, which changes the carbon media requirement for a whole-house filtration system. Standard activated carbon handles free chlorine well and does not require the catalytic carbon stage that LADWP chloramine zones need.
Common local concerns
- Hardness from local Santa Clara River basin groundwater, which runs higher mineral content than State Water Project blends alone
- Free chlorine disinfection residual (distinct from the chloramine used in LADWP zones to the south)
- Total dissolved solids from the blended municipal and groundwater supply
