Augie's Water Systems Inc. is a family-owned and operated business established in 1972 by Augie Cordero in Santa Barbara, California. Originally named Augie’s Repair, the company focused on repairing various water-related equipment including washing machines and water heaters. Over time, Augie identified a growing demand for water conditioning, particularly in the realm of softeners. This led to the creation of his own water softener design, which is still in use today.
In 1992, the business was handed over to Augie’s son, John Cordero. Under John's leadership, the company continued to thrive, as he recognized the necessity for innovative reverse osmosis systems. He collaborated with industry experts to develop the Conqueror IV system, enhancing the company's offerings. By the late 1990s, the third generation of the Cordero family joined Augie's Water, with Nicholas Cordero contributing fresh ideas and knowledge to the organization. The family dynamic continued when John's second son, Jason, joined in 2008, bringing his academic background to the team.
In 2020, Geoff Rivera, a knowledgeable specialist in water softener and reverse osmosis installations, became the newest member of the Augie's team, further expanding their expertise and commitment to excellent service. Augie’s Water Systems has built a strong reputation over the years, known for its reliability and exceptional customer service. As they celebrate over 50 years in business, the company is dedicated to providing high-quality water filtration and conditioning solutions, including softeners and drinking water systems, primarily to the Santa Barbara area. The legacy of innovation and family-driven service continues to define Augie’s Water Systems, making it a trusted choice for residents seeking reliable water solutions.
