One outfit for your water and your air
Most Utah homes need more than one fix. We diagnose the whole system and build it for your water, your house, and your budget.
Water Softening
High-efficiency softeners sized to Utah’s extreme hardness — protecting water heaters, fixtures, and appliances from scale.
02Reverse Osmosis
5–7 stage drinking water with remineralization. Bottled-quality water straight from your tap.
03Whole-Home Filtration
Carbon and specialty media that strip chlorine, taste, odor, and sediment right at the main line.
04Emergency Storage
Engineered storage and treatment so your family has safe water when the grid does not — built for Utah prep.
05Air Filtration
Whole-home air purification tied into your HVAC to cut allergens, dust, and inversion-season smog.
06Commercial Systems
Restaurants, clinics, offices, and shops — scalable, code-compliant treatment that keeps water clean.
Real numbers before you spend a dime
The others hide behind quote forms. We hand you the figures up front — storage targets, softener size, RO capacity, and payback.
Some of the hardest water in the country
Along the Wasatch Front, mineral-rich mountain runoff drives hardness of 13 to 28 grains per gallon — the rock clogging your pipes, spotting your dishes, and shortening the life of every appliance you own.
- Stop scale buildup that kills water heaters years early
- Softer skin and hair, with less soap and detergent
- Strip chlorine taste and odor at every tap
- Cleaner indoor air through inversion season
grains per gallon
Typical Wasatch Front hardness — versus a national average near 5 gpg. SLC runs ~13; Herriman and South Jordan hit 22–28.

How hard is the water where I live?
Most of the Wasatch Front runs 13–28 grains per gallon. Salt Lake City averages about 13 gpg, while Herriman and South Jordan can hit 22–28. Use the hardness chart and softener tool above, or book a free test for your exact number.
Do I need both a softener and reverse osmosis?
They do different jobs. A softener protects your whole home from scale; RO gives you pure drinking and cooking water at the sink. In Utah, most homes benefit from both.
How much water should I store for emergencies?
Utah recommends at least 1 gallon per person per day with a two-week minimum — 56 gallons for a family of four. Our storage calculator shows your exact target.
What does a system cost?
Most whole-home softeners run $1,300–$5,000 installed depending on size and add-ons, and drinking-water RO averages around $2,200. We offer financing and give a flat, written quote after a free test.
