What's Actually In Your Water
The EPA's Maximum Contaminant Levels — the legal standards your LADWP water is tested against — haven't been comprehensively updated in nearly 20 years. That means every "passes all federal standards" label on your water bill is graded on a 2005 curve.
Current science tells a different story.
California's own scientists say the safe level is 0.02 ppb. The legal limit re-adopted in 2024 is 10 ppb — 500 times higher. LA County sources have tested above the new standard. Compliance deadlines extend to 2028.
Linked to cancer, hormonal disruption, and developmental harm in children. Detected at the Airport Industrial Park in LA and at Los Alamitos military base. The EPA set its first-ever PFAS standard in April 2024 — meaning there was no legal protection before that date.
LADWP uses chloramines — not regular chlorine — as its disinfectant. They vaporize in your hot shower and are inhaled directly into the lungs. Your Brita does not remove them. Standard carbon filters don't either. Only catalytic carbon does.
LA County water averages 127 PPM hardness — the highest in California. It's calcifying your pipes, destroying your appliances, stripping your skin of moisture, and fading your hair color. You've been paying this tax every day without knowing it had a name.
Even when LA water is "legal," 9 detected contaminants exceed the Environmental Working Group's health-protective guidelines — which are based on current peer-reviewed science, not 20-year-old regulations.
Children's developing bodies accumulate environmental toxins differently than adults. Lead impairs neurological development. PFAS disrupt hormones during critical growth windows. Small daily exposures compound over years — not into a dramatic event, but into a quiet, invisible body burden.
"Getting a passing grade from the federal government does not mean the water meets the latest health guidelines. Legal limits for contaminants in tap water have not been updated in almost 20 years."

Why Your Current Solution Isn't Enough
Every partial solution solves one problem and leaves your family exposed to everything else. Your kids bathe in unfiltered water. You cook pasta in it. Your shower steams chloramines into your lungs every morning. The only intervention that closes every exposure pathway is a single-point-of-entry whole-home system — installed where the water enters your house, before it reaches anything.
The Clarity System
The Clarity system installs at the single point water enters your home. From that moment forward, every drop — whether it goes to a drinking glass, a showerhead, a washing machine, or a bath for your kids — has been filtered, softened, and cleared of the contaminants that have been quietly accumulating in your family's bodies.

Why Clarity Is Different
The big players in water filtration built their businesses on a playbook most LA homeowners know too well: approach you in a Home Depot, offer a "free water test," send a commissioned salesperson who won't leave for four hours, show you theatrical results, hide the price until you're in the room, then pressure you to sign tonight.
We watched this happen to families across Los Angeles and chose to build the opposite company.
Every system price is on this page. You never have to call to find out what something costs.
The person you speak with does not earn a commission on your purchase. Their job is to help you find the right system — or tell you honestly if you don't need one.
We quote over phone or video. We show up to install, not to pressure.
Our systems use standard components. Any licensed plumber can maintain them. No proprietary lock-in. No service trap.
Our certifications are real, independent, and verifiable by you directly on the NSF website. Not a staged water test.
Every customer receives before-and-after water test results from an independent lab — not our sales team.
What Los Angeles Homeowners Are Saying
"I've waited about a month before rating because I really wanted to see what the difference would be. I can honestly say I would never go back. Everything is better: the scale buildup on our faucets is gone, our skin is softer, clothing feels cleaner."
— Sherman Oaks homeowner
The Cost Of Waiting
This is not about fear. It's about math.
The hard water tax on your appliances costs the average LA homeowner hundreds of dollars per year in shortened lifespans. The bottled water habit costs $500–$1,500 annually. The chloramines in your shower are there every morning whether you know about them or not.
The system pays for itself. The peace of mind is immediate. And the question you'll ask yourself after it's installed is the same one every Clarity customer asks:
"Why didn't I do this sooner?"
