Tucson water runs 10–16 grains hard. We fix that.
Scale from hard water destroys water heaters, clogs fixtures, and leaves spots on everything. Priority Rooter & Plumbing tests your hardness, sizes the right softener, and installs it at a flat, up-front price.

Softening removes the calcium and magnesium that cause scale, spotting, and premature appliance failure.
Stop fighting white spots on glassware, shower doors, and stainless fixtures.
Scale is the #1 killer of Tucson water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines.
Softened water slows the mineral buildup that narrows pipes and drops water pressure.
Less hardness means less soap scum left behind after every shower.
Detergents lather better in soft water, so you use noticeably less of them.
Fabrics stay brighter and softer when hardness minerals aren't baked into them.
A scale-free water heater heats faster and costs less to run every month.
Hard water shortens the life of valves, cartridges, and seals throughout the home.
If you recognize two or three of these, a hardness test is worth doing.
Chalky scale around aerators and showerheads is classic Tucson hard water.
A stubborn film that returns days after cleaning points to high mineral content.

Scale slowly narrows pipe walls and clogs fixture screens.
