What hard water is doing to your house
Valley providers publish hardness from 8 grains per gallon to 25 g.p.g. depending on the city β and several municipals publish nothing at all. The photos below depict that hardness, working on your home, your investment, incrementally.
Your water heater is scaling and failing
Scale insulates the element, so the heater must burn more energy to do the same job and consequently fails years earlier than it should.
Glass and fixtures never look clean
That white film is hardness minerals left behind. And it comes back within days of every scrubbing.
Skin and hair feel stripped
Soap will not rinse clean in hard water. Normal skin feels itchy, rough and scaly. People with medical skin conditions have rashes. Your hair is dull and lifeless.
Pressure is dropping
Scale narrows pipe walls slowly enough that most people stop noticing until a fixture stops working.

Learn moreWhy people call us instead
We test before we quote
A number from your tap, read against the true average for your area. It is free, and you keep the results whether you buy or not.
Sized for your house
Grains per day, based on the people living there. An undersized softener regenerates nightly and still lets hard water through.
No script, no pressure
Nobody who comes to your house earns more by selling you more.
We will talk you out of things
If a salt-free unit is wrong for you, we say so. If your current softener is worth repairing, we say that too.
Where we work
From Buckeye to Queen Creek, and everywhere between. Pick your city for local water detail.
Phoenix
9.2β20.1 grains per gallon
Phoenix publishes a range of 9.2 to 20.1 grains per gallon β a spread of more than two to one across one city. So the city-wide figure tells you what Phoenix runs, not what your house runs. You want both numbers: the average for your part of the city, and a reading at your own tap. Two houses ten miles apart can genuinely want different equipment.
Scottsdale
16β25 grains per gallon
South Scottsdale has the hardest published water anywhere we work β up to 25 grains per gallon, half again what north Scottsdale sees. Two Scottsdale homes can genuinely need different equipment, which is why the address matters more here than in most of the valley.
Mesa
12β16 grains per gallon
Mesa publishes its hardness by zone β about 12 grains per gallon in the City Zone and about 16 in the Eastern and Southern Zones β and advises setting a softener to 16. Which side of the Eastern Canal you live on genuinely changes the equipment.
Chandler
5β20 grains per gallon
The high hardness combined with a lot of newer construction means Chandler homeowners often discover the problem through a failing water heater on a house that does not feel old enough to be failing.
Gilbert
8β10 grains per gallon
Gilbert has the softest published water in the valley, and it is the one place we regularly talk people down rather than up. Anyone quoting a Gilbert address off a valley-wide assumption of 18-grain water has not looked up the townβs own figure β and is sizing you for water you do not have.
What customers say
βOwner was hilarious and very accommodating to our situation. Very dedicated to what he does and his products.β
Monica K., Buckeye, AZFebruary 2020 βI am a cancer patient and have recently retired to Arizona. I'd been buying bottled water but it is important to my husband and I that I have a good water softener and purifier installed after having our water tested in Scottsdale. (I honestly believe that the reason I got cancer in the first place is because I was drinking out of the small 16 oz water bottles for several years and the plastic contaminated the water especially in a hot car or perhaps during the distribution process to a store. (In hindsight I would only carry my water in a stainless steel bottle and not even drink from large gallon plastic bottles in the house since we don't know how they are treated during distribution.) Because of this we spoke with 4 different water purification/softener companies/sales people. Two companies said that the job was too complicated since it was a townhouse condo with a shared wall. We had been seriously considering a 3rd company (whom in hindsight I'm not sure would have had the knowledge to do this job with its complication) and wanted to talk with one more company to be sure. That is when I met with Glenn from Aquaco. He is the President/CEO of Aquaco and met with me personally the day after I called. His passion and knowledge were fantastic. He runs a large company which does jobs for hospitals, schools, restaurants (including Starbucks) and homeowners all over Arizona. He and his men are true professionals. They know how to get a job done professionally, even if complicated, and left my home and yard immaculate. Although this installation wasn't easy, they were able to do it with three men the day after I called. Glenn came out before the job started going well out of his way to make sure it would be perfect, called during the installation to make sure it was going well and came out after its completion to make sure it was done to perfection. He is a very caring person who takes pride in his company. I HIGHLY recommend Aquaco for water purification and softening! They are by far the best available.βRead moreShow less

Ann K., Scottsdale, AZMay 2016 βI have lived in eight U.S. states and visited half a dozen countries on three continents and nowhere I have lived has harder, worse-tasting, water than the Phoenix Metro area. If you are as sick and tired of scrubbing the calcium buildup from your fixtures, faucets, and appliances as I was- I cannot recommend Aquaco enough. I was fortunate enough to link up with Glenn to talk over what options I could afford that would make sense for my family and budget. Glenn knows his craft and patiently fielded question after question with expertise and good humor. For the build quality, warranty, supplies, and maintenance included in the price I honestly thought for a minute that it was too good to be true. Despite my skepticism, the install technicians showed up on time with all their gear ready to go and knocked it out of the park. To get an entire home-purification system AND my kitchen sink reverse-osmosis system AND my fridge hooked up, these guys were in and out in under two hours! Even still, the workmanship was top-notch and they both took the time to explain how the systems work and answered all of my questions with ease and professionalism. Bottom line: If you are serious about protecting your home, appliances, and health, this is the best bang for your buck, hands down. Huge kudos to Glenn and the Aquaco team, I got exactly what I wanted with no hassle within a week.βRead moreShow less
