How the visit works
1. Test
We measure hardness, TDS, and pressure at your home instead of quoting off a brochure.
2. Size the system
Grain capacity is matched to household size and usage so it isn't regenerating constantly.
3. Install
Loop tie-in, drain, and bypass installed cleanly, with programming set for your water.

Water Softeners & Filtration questions
How hard is Las Vegas water?
Roughly 16–17 grains per gallon (about 275–290 ppm), among the hardest municipal water in the country.
Will a softener make water taste salty?
No. A correctly programmed softener adds a very small amount of sodium and does not make water taste salty. If taste is the concern, pair it with reverse osmosis.
