About Kraken Water Systems

Owner-Operated. Licensed. Built on Experience.

Kraken Water Systems is owned and operated by Steve Habercom, a California C-36 Plumbing Contractor with more than 16 years of water-treatment experience.

Before starting Kraken, Steve spent years working hands-on with water softeners, reverse osmosis systems, whole-house carbon filtration, commercial water treatment, tankless water heaters, custom plumbing, and specialty systems. That experience matters because water treatment is not just about dropping equipment into a garage—it is about understanding water conditions, flow, plumbing, installation details, serviceability, and what will actually make sense for the customer.

Kraken is built for homeowners who want someone to explain the options clearly, do the work right, and still be there when the system needs service down the road.

What We Do

Kraken Water Systems provides professional installation, service, repair, and replacement for:

• Water softeners and hard-water scale solutions

• Reverse osmosis drinking-water systems

• Whole-house carbon filtration

• Sediment and specialty filtration

• Filter changes and ongoing system service

• Well-water treatment systems

• Tankless water-heater maintenance and descaling

• Water-treatment troubleshooting and repairs

• Custom plumbing and water-treatment installations

Every recommendation starts with the actual problem you are trying to solve. Some homes need a complete treatment system. Others need a repair, maintenance service, or a simple drinking-water solution. If a system does not make sense for your home, we will tell you that too.

Clean Installs Matter

A water-treatment system should not look like an afterthought.

Kraken focuses on clean, serviceable installations with proper plumbing, accessible shutoffs, well-planned bypasses, equipment that is sized correctly, and layouts that can be maintained without turning your garage or utility room into a headache later.

The goal is not only better water today. It is a system that performs reliably, protects your home, and can be serviced correctly for years.

Built for San Diego County

San Diego County has a wide range of water conditions, from hard municipal water and chlorine taste or odor to well-water, sediment, specialty treatment, and high-end homes with fixtures and equipment worth protecting.

Kraken Water Systems serves homeowners throughout San Diego County, including La Mesa, El Cajon, Santee, San Diego, Poway, Rancho Santa Fe, La Jolla, Coronado, and surrounding communities.

We combine real local water-treatment experience with licensed plumbing work, so you are not left trying to coordinate a sales company, an installer, and a plumber separately.

Power Beneath the Surface

Your water affects nearly everything in your home—from your shower glass and fixtures to your appliances, drinking water, tankless water heater, and daily routine.

Kraken Water Systems is here to help you understand what is happening, choose the right solution, and get it installed the right way.
