With over 16 years of water treatment and plumbing experience, Kraken water systems has serviced all types of water softeners, and reverse osmosis systems. From the lowest cost DIY under the counter units, to systems that provide millions of gallons daily of pure water to local Avocado groves. Kraken Water Systems was established in 2020. At Kraken Water Systems, we specialize in water softeners, and whole house water treatment filtration systems. With over 16 years of experience, we have come across all different types of installation situations, various types of water softeners, and straight up weird code-defying plumbing situations that need a little love. If it has to do with any type of water, whether clear, brown, red, or stinks like rotten eggs, we take care of it. We believe in extremely high quality profesional installations, at a fair and reasonable price. To be honest, i'm an extreme stickler for attention to details with all of my installations. I follow all state and local codes and guidelines, and maybe a minor OCD issue when it comes to how clean and level our plumbing must look. Living in San Diego, we are always being told to "prep for the BIG ONE", so every water softener or standing whole house system will be installed with earthquake straps, and all piping secured thoroughly. Over the years of working in the trades, I have learned one thing. There are true tradesman, and there are people getting paid to pose as tradesman. Give us a chance at protecting your outrageously priced San Diego dream home, with a reasonably priced water system that will protect your family, pipes, and fixtures for years to come.

We service all of Southern California including LA County, Orange County, and San Diego County. We specialize in routine maintenance and beautification such as replacing your roof, repainting your home, or replacing your windows to name just a few of the remodeling services we provide. Of course we are exceptional at what we do, and we're even better at choosing who we employ. Find no better employees to work with than Suntrust Remodeling. We found the happier our employees are, the happier our customers are, and it's something you'll feel from the moment you interact with any member of our staff.

"We have to WARN anyone thinking of using this company! It was a disaster from the very beginning. No one checks up on the crew once things begin. We had to fight every step of the way sharing photos of poor workmanship and sending text messages asking when they would be back to complete the work or come out to do the repairs. Communication was absolutely terrible. The crew did NOT know what they were to do when they arrived. Quality of work was horrible and their mission statement is not true… “We understand the importance of trust and transparency in the home renovation process. That’s why we make it our mission to provide comprehensive education and clear communication throughout every project…That’s why we go above and beyond to ensure a seamless and stress-free experience for our clients”. We have paint drips all over our cedar siding and hardscape. It took over 6 months to complete our job. We will need to find another company to repair the items they did not do correctly. Feel free to reach out to us if you’d like any more information at [email protected]. We’ve reported them to BBB and also reached out to the CA Licensing Board. We are hoping to save others from getting involved with this company and causing undo stress. DO NOT trust them!"

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

The license requirements for water softener installation depend on your location. Some municipalities require that the installer hold a plumbing license, some require a permit and an inspection, but no license for the installer, and some require a permit and a license for the installer. Regardless of the local laws in your area, it’s always a good idea to hire a licensed plumber or installer. These pros will install your system properly and have the experience to size the system appropriately. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your installer’s license status.

Whether or not your water softener installation requires a permit depends on where you live; some municipalities only let certified plumbers and electricians pull the necessary permits and complete the work, others only require a professional to sign off on the work, and some don’t mandate permits at all. You can contact your local building department to find out, but you can also ask a local water softener installer or plumber to see if a permit is necessary. They will usually pull the permits for you and can help close them out after the work is complete.

The best way to fix hard water in a shower is by installing a water softener system. This is the only way to truly ensure that hard water doesn't enter your shower—or any part of your home beyond the water softener. Most other methods are temporary fixes. While you can choose a shower filter, these filters aren’t as effective and may not remove many contaminants that cause limescale and hard water stains.

Most experts agree there’s not much difference health-wise between hard water versus soft water. That said, hard water is more likely to cause skin dryness and issues that go along with it, like an itchy or flaky scalp. Hard water can also decrease the life span of your household appliances and make it more difficult for soap to do its job.

Water softeners have many benefits. The most important one is converting previously hard water—water with too many minerals—to more usable, easier water. When we say easier water, we mean water that’s easier to digest, less harsh on skin and clothes, and builds up less in the water system. Softer water may lead to lower energy costs and will extend the lifespan of all appliances that use water.
