From the utility's own reporting

Three things worth knowing about your water.

The Denver metro is not one water system. What is in your water depends on which utility serves your address, so these three points come from the utilities' own published water-quality pages.

Scale, and the season it builds in

Denver Water states its water tends to form scale, that an initial scale usually takes two to five years to form, and that it continues to build up over time. It also reports the water is slightly harder in winter, when waterways and reservoirs freeze, and softer from late spring through fall, when runoff dilutes the minerals.

One metro, several water systems

Denver Water classifies the water it delivers as soft to moderately hard: its southern collection system is moderately hard and its northern collection system is somewhat soft. Aurora Water is a separate system, drawing from the Arkansas, Colorado and South Platte river basins, storing water in 12 reservoirs, and running the Prairie Waters potable reuse system since 2010. What is in your water depends on your address.

Lead service lines

Denver Water estimates 60,000 to 64,000 homes in its service area may have a lead service line. It publishes an address lookup map, provides free pitcher filters and free lead sample kits, and is replacing lines by neighborhood on a schedule that runs through 2031.

What gets installed

What a whole-home system is made of.

Every home is sized on its own, so the assessment comes first and the equipment follows from it.

How this industry sells

No sales pitch. Just a price.

Most water treatment companies put you through a two hour presentation that ends in a number invented on the spot. That is how a basic softener turns into a $9,000 quote. Colorado city water is consistent within each utility, so we do not need to sit at your kitchen table for two hours to know what your home needs. We ask a few questions, tell you the price, and if you want us to install it we show up and do the work properly.

Pricing

Straightforward pricing. No surprises.

Every price below is all in. System, installation and warranty. The only thing that changes your final number is your home's plumbing, and we tell you upfront if that applies.

Common questions

Straight answers.

How much does a whole-home system cost?

Prices are published on this page. A standard whole-home softener and filtration system starts at $2,699 installed, and the only thing that changes your final number is your home's plumbing. Flexible financing available, no credit check.

How do you decide what my home needs?

We start with the water-quality data your utility publishes for your address, then size the system to that and to your household.

Do you need to come to the house first?

Not to give you a price. We go through what your home needs on one phone call. An install is scheduled only after you decide to go ahead.

What areas do you serve?
