Water Softener & Water Treatment Installation in Chandler, AZ — Mountain Vista Plumbing
Real Protection From Some of the East Valley's Hardest Water
Chandler's Water Averages 16.5 Grains of Hardness
According to the City of Chandler, its drinking water averages 16.5 grains per gallon of hardness, with readings from as low as 5 to as high as 20. Anything over 10.5 grains is considered very hard. In most Chandler homes, that means white crust on fixtures, spots on dishes, and scale building up inside your water heater every day.
The wide range comes from where the water starts. About 60% comes from the Salt and Verde Rivers, treated at the city's Surface Water Treatment Plant. About 20% comes from the Santan Vista plant Chandler shares with Gilbert. The rest is pumped from a network of 32 groundwater wells, and groundwater is typically the hardest of the three.
Mountain Vista Plumbing installs and services whole-home water softeners and water treatment systems throughout Chandler. We test your water, size the system for your household, and give you a firm price before any work begins.

Why Chandler Homes Need More Than a Basic Softener
Start at 16.5, then check it. The city's 16.5-grain average is a good starting point for your softener setting. Because the blend changes, we program for your actual tap water and show you how to adjust it if spots come back.
Salt-based softeners do the real work here. At 16.5 grains, a salt-free conditioner reduces scale but won't give you truly soft water. For most Chandler homes, we recommend a properly sized salt-based softener. If you prefer salt-free, we'll explain what to expect honestly.
Your water heater will thank you. The City of Chandler recommends flushing your water heater every six months without a softener, but only once a year with one. Softened water means less sediment, quieter operation, and a longer-lasting water heater.
Add RO for drinking water. Many Chandler families pair a whole-home softener with a reverse osmosis system under the kitchen sink for better-tasting drinking and cooking water.
Chandler Water Softener FAQ
Is softened water safe to drink?
Yes. Many people prefer an RO system at the kitchen sink for the best taste, and it also removes the small amount of sodium a softener adds.
How do I bypass my softener?
Find the valve labeled bypass on the softener head and turn, push, or pull it in the direction of the arrow. If it's stuck or leaking, we can replace it.
How long does a water softener last?
A quality, well-maintained system typically lasts 10 to 15 years.
