The Proof
Why Do Chula Vista
Homeowners LOVE Us?
We rented a softener for 4 years and then purchased a system when we bought our home. We have always had great service! They are friendly and helpful on the phone and quickly send a repair guy when needed (and we’ve only needed a repairman 1 time in 6.5 years of owning our system).
No more buying water at the store. No more refilling jugs. No more running tap water through filter devices. And when I moved, they were there to move my equipment at no charge.
A great company. Everything has been so smooth. They send reminders (really helps me) and they do what they say. My favorite water delivery company.
