Overview
Upright Plumbing, a trusted plumbing service provider in San Diego, has utilized the Sidon Integro™ water conditioning system for over five years—two of which included controlled performance testing in real-world environments. This case study outlines how the system effectively tackled Southern California’s persistent hard water problems across both residential neighborhoods and commercial buildings.
The Challenge
- Hard water scale was a constant issue throughout San Diego, impacting water heaters, fixtures, and irrigation systems.
- Frequent clogs and inefficiencies in water-using appliances due to mineral buildup.
- A need for a low-maintenance, cost-effective water treatment solution that would complement, not replace, existing filtration systems.

The Sidon Integro™ Solution
- Straightforward installation using two reducing adapters, a custom pipe run, and a bypass valve for easy servicing.
- Installed at the main water line, the system treated water effectively up to 150 feet from the point of entry—ideal for multi-story homes and commercial suites.
- Seamlessly integrated with existing filtration setups, preparing water for optimal post-treatment performance.
