Water Problems

Understanding Hard Water
in Salt Lake City
Hard water is a prevalent issue in Salt Lake City and throughout Utah, leading to a
variety of household problems that affect both the aesthetics and functionality of your
home.
Unsightly Mineral Deposits
Hard water leaves spots and film on dishes and glassware. This affects appearance and requires extra effort to maintain cleanliness.
Effects on Skin and Hair
High mineral content strips natural oils from skin and hair, leading to dryness and requiring additional moisturizing products.
Reduced Appliance Lifespan
Scale buildup accumulates inside water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines, reducing efficiency and lifespan over time.
Buildup on Fixtures
Calcium and magnesium deposits create white, crusty buildup on faucets, showerheads, and plumbing fixtures.
Salt Lake City water is classified as "very hard," with hardness levels typically ranging from 10 to 25 grains per gallon (GPG) depending on your water source and location.
Every shower. Every load of laundry. Every a you run the dishwasher. Scale is
accumulating in your pipes right now, shortening the lifespan of your appliances
and increasing your costs.
That's why we test every home to determine your exact hardness level and
recommend the right solution for your specific water conditions.

Common Questions About
Water Softening
How much does a water softener cost?
Every home is different, so we provide custom quotes based on your hardness level, home size, and water usage. Most Water Guard HE systems pay for themselves within 3-4 years through salt savings, reduced soap usage, and prevented appliance damage.
Why is Water Guard better than store-bought softeners?
Store-bought softeners are one-size-fits-all and use outdated technology. Water Guard HE systems are professionally sized for YOUR home and use 85% less salt (8 bags/year vs 54 bags). They're specifically designed for Utah's extreme 13-18 GPG hardness.
How long does installation take?
Most Water Guard HE installations complete in 4-6 hours. We offer same-week installation and work around YOUR schedule, including evenings and weekends. Our licensed technicians protect your workspace and don't leave until the system is fully tested.
What maintenance is required?
Very minimal. Add salt every 2-4 months (only 8 bags per year with Water Guard HE). We recommend annual professional resin cleaning to maintain peak efficiency. We send reminders when maintenance is due and offer service plans where we handle everything.
Will soft water feel different?
Yes, in a good way! Soft water feels "slippery" because there are no hard minerals preventing soap from rinsing clean. You'll notice your skin feels softer (not stripped of oils), hair is shinier, and you use far less soap. Most people adjust within a week and love it.
Do I still need filtration with a softener?
Softeners remove hardness minerals but not chemicals like chlorine, PFAS, or arsenic. If you're concerned about these contaminants, we recommend adding filtration. Many customers start with just softening and add filtration later. We can test for everything during your free visit.
