CUSTOM WATER SOLUTIONS FOR EVERY HOME
We Don’t Sell One-Size-Fits-All Water Treatment Systems
Even a Moderately Priced Home Water Treatment Solution Offers Life-Enhancing Benefits
You don’t need the most expensive system to enjoy better water. At Candid Water Solutions, we help you find a setup that is designed to fit your water quality, usage patterns and budget. Our goal is to deliver real value, not oversell you on upgrades or features you don’t need.
GET THE RIGHT SYSTEM FOR YOUR BUDGET
Scalable Solutions for Every Household
A small household may only need a basic softener, while a large family with specific tastes or contaminant concerns might benefit from layered filtration or a whole-house reverse osmosis system.
We scale your system based on:
- Number of people in the home
- Water hardness and local contaminants
- Desired improvements (taste, appliance protection, filtered drinking water)
- Type and frequency of water usage
Whether you're looking for clean drinking water at the kitchen tap or protection for your plumbing and appliances throughout the home, we’ll work within your budget to build a system that fits.
CHEAPER ISN'T ALWAYS BETTER
Why Cheaper Systems Don’t Always Save You Money
Low-cost and DIY water treatment systems may seem like a deal upfront, but they often fall short over time. Inexpensive units tend to use lower-quality components that wear out faster, require more frequent maintenance or lack the capacity to keep up with real household use. Undersized systems may regenerate too often, wasting salt and water or allow hard water to slip through when you need soft water most.
At Candid Water Solutions, we install systems built to last and matched to your actual water conditions, so you're not replacing filters too often or repairing worn-out parts a year after installation.
MAINTAINING YOUR SYSTEM
What Are the Maintenance Requirements After Installation?
Salt-Based Water Softeners
• Salt refills: Most systems need salt refilled every 4–6 weeks, depending on your household size and water hardness. This is something virtually every homeowner can do on their own and it only takes a few minutes. Candid can help you estimate usage and recommend salt options.
• Resin bed cleaning: This service is usually only needed every few years (if at all), unless your water contains iron or other fouling minerals.
• Valve check/programming: Annual inspection is recommended, especially for high-efficiency or dual-tank setups.
Salt-Free Water Conditioners
• No salt refill needed, which appeals to homeowners looking for a totally hands-off solution for treating hard water.
• Media replacement: The internal media cartridge typically lasts 6–10 years, depending on water quality.
• Pre-filters (if installed): Should be checked or replaced every 6–12 months.
Under-Sink RO Systems
• Pre-filters: Change every 6–12 months (sediment and carbon filters).
• RO membrane: Replace every 2–4 years, depending on TDS levels and daily use.
• Storage tank: Minimal maintenance; just ensure it stays pressurized properly.
• Optional polishing/remineralization filters: Replace annually if installed.
Many homeowners can handle pre-filter replacement, but you can also call Candid Water Solutions for your under-sink RO maintenance needs.
Whole-House RO Systems
• Pre-treatment system: Usually installed ahead of the RO (e.g., softener or sediment filter) to protect the RO membrane.
• RO membrane: May need replacement every 2–5 years, depending on incoming water quality.
• Storage tank and pressure pump: Should be inspected annually for pressure balance and flow rate efficiency.
• Post-filters: Carbon or polishing filters should be replaced every year.
At Candid Water Solutions, we walk you through exactly what your system will need after installation and how much maintenance will cost. We also offer service plans for homeowners who’d rather not manage it themselves.
Why the Phoenix Home Water Treatment Provider You Choose Matters
Water treatment systems aren’t all equal, and neither are the companies that install them.
THE CANDID WATER SOLUTIONS DIFFERENCE
Everyday Value That Goes Beyond the Price Tag
There are ways in which home water treatment can save you money in the long run. Clothes, water heaters and appliances will last longer, and you will no longer need to buy bottled water. However, the most noticeable differences are practical quality-of-life improvements:
- No more bottled water or refill kiosks: Enjoy clean, great-tasting water right from your tap without needing to regularly haul gallons to and from kiosks or buy pallets of water bottles.
- Less plastic waste: Fewer bottles and jugs mean a smaller household environmental footprint.
- Reduced hassle: No need to manage (or pay for) water deliveries or case storage.
- Cleaner fixtures and surfaces: Less buildup means less scrubbing, fewer stains and easier maintenance.
- Improves everything water-related: Softer skin, better-tasting coffee and no more lingering chlorine smell are just a few of the many life-enhancing benefits of home water treatment.
