Signs of hard waterall over the house.

  1. White crust on taps and showerheads

    Hard water leaves calcium and magnesium behind as it dries, and it builds up wherever water sits.

  2. Spots on glasses and shower glass

    The same minerals dry into a cloudy film that comes back however often you wipe it.

  3. Soap that won’t lather

    Hardness minerals react with soap, so it takes more shampoo and detergent to do the same job.

  4. Scale in the kettle and water heater

    Minerals settle out when water is heated, coating elements and the bottom of the tank.

  5. Appliances wearing out early

    Scale builds up inside dishwashers, washers and water heaters, making them work harder.

  6. A chlorine taste or smell

    Tap water is disinfected on its way to you. A whole-home filter can take the taste and smell out.

Water facts

  • Hard water is minerals

    Calcium and magnesium the water picks up on its way to you. They’re fine to drink, but they leave scale on fixtures and inside appliances.

  • It’s a blend

    Orange County tap water mixes local groundwater with water brought in from the Colorado River and Northern California, so hardness changes from city to city.

  • It’s treated on the way

    Utilities disinfect tap water with chlorine or chloramine to keep it safe. A whole-home carbon filter takes out the taste and smell.

  • Your water has a report

    Every public water supplier has to publish an annual water quality report. It lists your water’s hardness and everything they test for.

Sized to your water,not to what’s on our shelf.

  1. We look at your water

    How hard it is and what’s in it, so the system is built for the water you actually have.

  2. We size it to your household

    How many people, bathrooms and appliances it has to keep up with.

  3. Then we fit what’s right

    Your options, with a price for each. Nothing starts until you’ve agreed to it.

  • “Work was done with great quality and quickly for a good price!”

    Got to talk to Eric about my project, he was straightforward, honest and accommodating. Logan called and gave me a ETA before showing up. Work was done with great quality and quickly for a good price! I plan on using them again.

  • “There was no beating around the bush when it came to pricing.”

    Taysom was awesome! Showed up on time got straight to the point. There was no beating around the bush when it came to pricing. It was clear and straightforward. I had a clog in my bathroom shower. They knew exactly what to do, were in and out within a few hours, and they smelled clean. Highly recommend to anyone looking for excellent service at a great rate

  • “They even noticed a heavy package sitting on our front porch and brought it inside for us.”

    We recently had Taysom Plumbing do some work on our bathroom shower, and we had a great experience. The pricing was fair, the work was done well, and they cleaned everything up when they were finished. They were all so kind and polite! They even noticed a heavy package sitting on our front porch and brought it inside for us. It was such a thoughtful gesture and definitely went above and beyond. We're really happy with the work and would absolutely recommend Taysom Plumbing to anyone looking for a plumber you can trust. We'll definitely be calling them again when we need plumbing work in the future!

  • “Eric Taysom was there for us every step of the way.”

    We had an absolute plumbing disaster in our home, and Eric Taysom was there for us every step of the way. From the very beginning, he was incredibly responsive, available, and genuinely compassionate about what we were going through. He took the time to carefully assess the situation, explain our options, and come up with thoughtful solutions rather than just trying to get the job done as quickly as possible. …

    Honest, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about doing a good job. They’re the kind of people you feel comfortable recommending to friends and family—which is especially important when your plumbing decides to ruin your day... Highly recommend!

  • “Everything was done by the end of the day which was a huge relief.”

    Had a really good experience with Taysom Plumbing. We could hear water running somewhere in our bathroom and then noticed it was starting to leak into the garage. Called them and they were able to come out that same day, find where the leak was and repipe that section. Everything was done by the end of the day which was a huge relief. …

Do I need a water softener in Orange County?

Most of Orange County has hard or very hard water, but it varies from city to city. Look up your city above. If you’re seeing crusty taps, spots and scale, talk to Taysom Plumbing about a softener sized to your water.

What’s the difference between a softener and a filter?

A softener takes out the hardness minerals that cause scale and spots. A whole-home filter takes out what you taste and smell, like chlorine, and sediment. Plenty of homes end up with both.

Will soft water feel different?

Yes, a little: soap lathers more easily and rinses off feeling smoother. That’s the hardness minerals being gone, not soap left behind.

How much will it cost?

We look at the problem first, explain what we found, and give you the options with a price for each. Nothing starts until you’ve agreed to it.

Which areas do you cover?

All of Orange County: 41 cities and communities, from La Habra down to San Clemente. If you don’t see yours on the list, call us and ask.
