White crust on faucets or gritty aerators in Modesto? That’s hard water and sediment, two things we fix every week.
Modesto is home base for Liquid Solutions Inc. Brett started the company here in 1996, and Kyle runs it today from the same city. Modesto’s water comes from 77 city wells plus treated surface water, roughly 40% groundwater and 60% surface water in the city’s latest report. Hardness averages 199 ppm (parts per million), but ranges from very soft to very hard depending on which sources feed your area.
Sediment can be a real concern in older parts of town, where aging lines may contribute to cloudy water, grit or debris. We pair whole-home sediment and chlorine filtration with a softener or salt-free conditioner, plus RO for drinking water.
Just moved from the Bay Area and your skin feels drier? Many people notice it. San Francisco’s water averaged 62 ppm of hardness in 2025, and EBMUD describes its water as soft to moderately hard [SFPUC 2025 Annual Water Quality Report] [EBMUD water quality FAQs]. Valley tap water is often harder, and the chlorine or chloramine (chlorine combined with ammonia) used to disinfect city water can dry out skin and hair. A water softener takes care of the hardness, and whole-house carbon filtration reduces chlorine at every tap.

Modesto water FAQs
How hard is Modesto city water?
Per the City of Modesto 2025 CCR, hardness ranges from soft to very hard, averaging about 199 mg/L (hard). Soft pockets and very hard wells both exist depending on blend—scale, spotty dishes, and soap scum are still everyday complaints for many homes.
Why do Modesto pages talk about sediment?
Sediment can be a major concern, especially in older parts of town—cloudy water, grit, or debris in aerators and fixtures. We pair whole-home sediment pre-filtration with chlorine/carbon filtration while keeping softener or saltless as the primary hardness options, plus RO for drinking water.
