What New River Homeowners Say

Reviews from New River and nearby Phoenix-area homeowners

“Outstanding Service from Clear Water Concepts! We live in Dreamland Villa in Mesa, AZ, where we have extremely hard water and our house had low water pressure. After deciding to install a whole-house filtration system, an under-sink reverse osmosis (RO) filter, and replace our pressure regulating valve, we couldn’t be happier with our experience with Clear Water Concepts. From the initial consultation with Joshua Harmon to the installation, the entire process was straightforward, professional, and stress-free. Our technician, Ted Rhude, texted me when he was on his way and included a convenient link to track his arrival. He arrived right on time and got straight to work. Ted clearly explained everything he would be doing, how long the water would be shut off, and approximately how long the entire installation would take. I was especially impressed with Ted’s attention to detail and thoughtful workmanship. He ran the water softener drain line and electrical wiring through the attic, keeping everything completely out of the way and leaving us with a clean, professional installation. It’s refreshing to work with a company that delivers excellent customer service from the initial consultation through installation. Joshua made the entire process easy, and Ted’s professionalism, punctuality, and quality of work exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Clear Water Concepts, Joshua Harmon, and Ted Rhude to anyone looking for water filtration or plumbing services. If you’re in the Mesa area and considering improving your home’s water quality, give them a call. You won’t be disappointed!”

“Clear Water Concepts sent Hunter Matheny out to fix a small leak in my water softener hose and I just want to say that he was the most personable, knowledgeable and friendliest service provider that I have had . He spoke to my husband and was extremely polite. I just want to tell them thank you and I would highly recommend doing business with them.”

“Clear Water Concepts is a great company and would recommend them if you're looking to get a water softener system. They are knowledgeable and professional but without the high pressure gimmicks that other companies use. Ted and Shawn installed my system and they were fantastic. They worked efficiently and took the time to explain the system to me. I'm so glad I found Clear Water Concepts!”

Where our New River water data comes from

New River homes are on private wells, so there is no utility report. ADEQ classifies the basin's groundwater as hard to very hard; ADHS found arsenic above its comparison value in 16 of 21 wells sampled. Hardness varies by well — test before sizing.

Common questions about water softeners in New River

How hard is the water in New River?

New River water hardness averages 12-20 GPG, sourced from private domestic wells (agua fria basin groundwater). This is significantly harder than the national average of 6 GPG, meaning scale buildup, dry skin, and appliance damage are common without treatment.

Do you serve New River?

Yes — New River is within our Phoenix metro service area. Our nearest location is in Glendale. We offer free in-home water testing and same-week installation in most cases.

How much does a water softener cost in New River?

Water softeners for New River homes start at $1,945. Our three most-installed systems are Olympus On-Demand from $1,945, Sanitech Pro-Line from $2,645, Pantora Dual-Stage from $4,145. Most New River homes need a 48K or 64K grain system depending on household size and hardness (12-20 GPG here); sizing on our entry system runs 32K from $1,945, 48K from $2,145, 64K from $2,345. We confirm the right size with a free in-home water test. Every softener is backed by a 10-Year Part & Labor Warranty. Installation is quoted separately and starts at $250 for a standard installation to an existing softener loop. 0% APR financing for 9 months is available.

How long does water softener installation take in New River?

Most New River installations are finished in a single visit — a few hours when the home already has a softener loop, longer when we need to run a new line. We confirm the scope during your free in-home water test so there are no surprises on install day.

Does my New River home need a softener loop?

Many newer New River homes are pre-plumbed with a softener loop, which makes installation faster and less expensive. Older homes without a loop need a full line run to the main. We quote both options up front — see our loop vs. full-line guide for what to expect.

Is a salt-free conditioner a good option in New River?

At 12-20 GPG, New River water is hard enough that most homeowners want true softening. Salt-free conditioners reduce scale without removing hardness minerals, so they fit homes on septic or anywhere brine discharge is a concern. We recommend one or the other based on your water test, not a sales quota.

What maintenance does a water softener need in New River?

Mainly salt. Our Smart Salt Delivery program monitors your brine tank and delivers salt automatically, and our technicians service systems across New River and the Phoenix metro. Beyond salt, a properly sized system needs very little attention.

Do you offer financing on water softeners in New River?

Yes — 0% APR financing for 9 months is available on every system we install in New River, and pairing a water softener with reverse osmosis saves $350 with our bundle.
