Every House is Different. So Is Every Water Solution.

When it comes to water in Arizona, one thing is clear—it’s hard. Whether you're in Phoenix, Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, Queen Creek, or Goodyear, chances are your water is filled with minerals, chemicals, or both. That’s why more and more homeowners are turning to water treatment systems to protect their homes and their health.

But with so many options—water softeners, reverse osmosis, carbon filters, UV purification systems—how do you know which one is right for you?

At Candid Water Solutions, we help you cut through the confusion and get the right solution for your specific water and budget—not just the most expensive one. Here's what to consider before you invest.

💧 Step 1: Get Your Water Tested First

The first step in choosing a water treatment system is knowing what’s actually in your water. Every home is different—even homes just a few streets apart can have drastically different water quality based on plumbing, source, or whether you're on a private well or city supply.

At Candid, we offer free in-home water testing to check for:

• Hardness (calcium & magnesium)
• Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
• Chlorine and chloramines
• Iron and manganese
• Sediment or rust
• Bacteria or nitrates (for well water)

Once we know what we’re working with, we can recommend a system that solves your specific problems—no fluff, no unnecessary add-ons.

🧼 Step 2: Understand the Most Common Water Issues in Arizona

Here’s what most Arizona homeowners face:

🔹 Hard Water

Extremely high levels of minerals leave residue on dishes, dry out skin and hair, and cause scale buildup in pipes and appliances.

🔹 Chlorine

Municipal water in cities like Chandler and Mesa contains chlorine and chloramines to disinfect—but they can leave behind strong odors, poor taste, and health concerns.

🔹 Sediment

Especially in Queen Creek or Goodyear, sediment and rust particles can discolor water and clog appliances.

🔹 Well Water Contaminants

Homes using private wells may deal with iron, sulfur, or bacteria, all of which require targeted treatment.

✅ Step 3: Match Your Water Needs with the Right System

Here's a breakdown of what each major system addresses:

✔️ Water Softener

🏠 Step 4: Don’t Buy a One-Size-Fits-All Package

Many companies offer “bundled systems” that sound good on paper but aren’t tailored to your home’s needs. At Candid, we custom-build your system based on test results and household size.

✅ Small home? You may only need a compact softener and drinking RO.
✅ Large family? A higher grain softener and multi-stage RO might be best.
✅ On a well? We’ll incorporate iron or UV systems for added protection.

We make sure you get what you need—and only what you need.
