Salt-based softeners that take the hardness out of your water — and the strain off your pipes, water heater, and appliances.
Peoria's water is exceptionally hard, and a softener is the most direct fix. A water softener uses ion exchange to pull calcium and magnesium out of your water before it ever reaches a faucet, appliance, or pipe. 100% Plumbing installs, repairs, and maintains water softeners across Peoria and the Northwest Valley.

Peoria's water regularly tests at 200–300+ parts per million of hardness — well into the 'very hard' range. A correctly sized softener is one of the highest-value upgrades a homeowner here can make, protecting everything downstream of it.
We size softeners to the actual hardness and household size, not a one-size-fits-all unit. Mont Stephenson has been working with Arizona water for 35 years and knows exactly what it does to a home over time.
A softener removes hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium) through ion exchange. A filter removes sediment, chlorine, or other contaminants but doesn't address hardness. Many homes benefit from both — a softener for the whole house and a filter or reverse osmosis system at the kitchen tap.
Depends on household size and water hardness, but most homes need a bag or two of salt per month. We'll walk you through a maintenance schedule when we install.
Yes. Softened water has slightly higher sodium content from the exchange process, but it's safe for nearly everyone. If you want it removed entirely for drinking, a reverse osmosis system at the kitchen sink handles that.
