Gilbert Water Treatment
Water softeners, reverse osmosis and whole-house filtration for Gilbert homes, sized from a test of your own water.
Hard water shows up everywhere in a Gilbert home: white spots on shower glass, crusty faucet aerators, a film on dishes, and scale building up inside the water heater where you cannot see it. A water softener stops that at the source by removing the minerals before the water reaches your fixtures and appliances.
Gilbert's tap water comes from Salt River Project and Central Arizona Project canal water, treated at the Town's North and Santan Vista water treatment plants, plus groundwater pumped from Town wells. River water and groundwater both carry dissolved calcium and magnesium, the minerals that make water hard and leave scale behind.
Every job starts with a water test at your home. We look at your hardness, how many people live in the house and how much water you use, then recommend equipment that fits. That might be a softener, a softener plus reverse osmosis for drinking water, a whole-house carbon filter, or a salt-free conditioner if you would rather not use salt.
You get a written estimate that lists the equipment, the installation and any plumbing work, plus what the system will need for upkeep each year.
Each service has its own page with how it works, what it costs to run and common questions.

| System | What it does | Removes hardness | Upkeep | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Water softener | Swaps calcium and magnesium for sodium or potassium | Yes | Add salt, yearly check | Whole house, scale and spots |
| Salt-free conditioner | Changes minerals so they do not stick as scale | No (reduces scale) | Media change every few years | Homes that want no salt or drain |
| Whole-house carbon filter | Reduces chlorine taste and odor | No | Media or cartridge changes | Better-tasting water at every tap |
| Reverse osmosis | Filters drinking water through a membrane | Yes, at one tap | Filters yearly, membrane every few years | Drinking, cooking, ice |
Many Gilbert homes combine two systems: a softener or conditioner for the whole house and reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink.
Minerals left behind when water dries cause the white spots on glass, faucets and dishes, and the film that builds up on shower doors.
Scale settles at the bottom of tank water heaters and coats heating elements, which makes the heater work harder and can shorten its life.
Showerheads, faucet aerators and dishwasher spray arms collect scale until the flow drops. Softened water keeps them clear.
Soap does not lather well in hard water and leaves residue. Soft water rinses cleaner, so many people use less soap and detergent.

If you see white spots on glass and fixtures, crust on faucet aerators and showerheads, or soap that does not lather well, your water is hard enough that a softener will help. We test your water at the estimate so the recommendation is based on your numbers.
A softener removes calcium and magnesium through ion exchange, so you get truly soft water. A salt-free conditioner leaves the minerals in the water but changes how they behave, which reduces scale without salt. Softeners do more; conditioners need less upkeep.
Many Gilbert homes were built with a softener loop in the garage, which makes installation quick. If yours does not have one, we can add a loop so the softener can be connected.
Softened water contains a small amount of sodium, but most people do not taste it. Many homeowners add a reverse osmosis system at the kitchen sink for drinking and cooking water.
We work across the Town of Gilbert, including Val Vista Lakes, Agritopia, Power Ranch, Seville, Morrison Ranch and the Heritage District.
Whether you want softer water for the whole house, better drinking water at the kitchen sink or an old softener fixed, it starts with knowing what is in your water. Call 602-835-4835 or request an estimate online.
