Phoenix’s Pack of Polar Bear Plumbers
Tucsonans and Phoenicians know how hard the water here is, but it goes way beyond just coarse water that’s a bit unpleasant to wash with. The water (it’s considered “very hard,” measuring in at around 12 grains per gallon, give or take) brings with it minerals that coat the inside of your pipes and actually wear away at water heaters in the region. That’s why investing in a water softener is the smart, long-term play for you if you want to make life in the Valley and Old Pueblo a bit easier.
Alaskan is the team that handles water treatment in Phoenix and Tucson, AZ: softeners, filters, reverse osmosis, and whole-home systems.
Our Water Treatment Services
Water Softeners
This is your standard fix for hot water. A water softener removes calcium and magnesium from the water. Sizing matters (household size, water usage), but our Polar Bear plumbers at Alaskan will handle the math for you.
Whole-Home Water Filtration
It’s time to address the whole house. This is carbon filtration for chlorine, sediment, and any taste/odor issues. Whole-home water filters are installed on the main line, so every tap benefits.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems
Reverse osmosis systems are a natural fit for Phoenix and Tucson (and all of Arizona, really). These are under-sink units for drinking and cooking water. RO systems remove solids, contaminants, and taste issues, reducing water to bottled-water quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
How hard is the water in Phoenix and Tucson really?
Phoenix and Tucson have some of the hardest water in the entire country. Places like the Pacific Northwest and parts of the Midwest will never see water hardness like this. Both cities measure in from 11 to 17 grains per gallon.
Is softened water safe to drink?
Yes. Water softeners do have a bit of sodium, but it’s such a low amount; about the same amount of sodium as a slice of bread. Either way, there are reverse osmosis options if salt intake is a concern of yours.
Do I need a softener or a filter, or both?
It depends on what you want to address with your water. You get a softener for hardness, and you get a filter for chlorine/taste/sediment. Many homes benefit from both.
