What's Worth Testing in Denver Water

Smart Living Water installs whole-house water filtration and softening systems in Denver, CO, and we back every job with a free water test so you know exactly what's in your water before we recommend anything. Denver's water is softer than the Western Slope's, but hardness isn't the only thing worth testing. Our test also covers disinfection byproducts, arsenic, chromium, and radium, a list that deserves more than a counter-top filter from a hardware store. Call (970) 773-6439 and we'll drive out, test your water, and give you a straight answer about what it needs.

What We Test Denver Water For

Knowing what's in your water is the first step to fixing it.

Disinfection Byproducts

Denver Water uses surface water from mountain snowmelt and reservoirs. Disinfecting surface water can create byproducts such as HAA5s and TTHMs, and Denver Water reports its levels every year. A free water test tells you exactly where your home's levels land.

Arsenic and Chromium

Both are naturally occurring metals we check for in a Denver water test. Neither is something a standard softener removes. If your results show them, a properly configured whole-home filtration or reverse osmosis system is what actually addresses them.

Radium

Radium occurs naturally in some Colorado water and has no taste or smell, so most people never think to ask. That's exactly why we do a real water test before recommending any system. Guessing at the solution wastes your money.

Moderate Hardness

Denver's water is moderately hard. It's not as punishing as Western Slope water, but it still builds up calcium in water heaters and supply lines. A water softener extends appliance life and cuts down on scale.

Our Process

How a Denver Water Test Works

We Come to You

Schedule a free in-home water test and we drive to your Denver address. No charge for the visit, no charge for the test. We bring the equipment.

We Test and Explain

We run your water through a real test panel, not a gimmick that just shows hardness. You'll know what's actually in your water, in plain language.

We Recommend Only What You Need

If your water needs a softener, we say so. If it needs full reverse osmosis, we say that too. We won't sell you a whole-home RO system when a filtration unit is the right call.

Systems We Install

Water Treatment Options for Denver Homes

Whole House Water Filtration

Filters the entire home's water supply at entry, so every faucet, shower, and appliance runs on treated water. Addresses sediment, chlorine, heavy metals, and other contaminants Denver's supply carries.

Water Softener Installation

Handles Denver's moderate hardness at the source. Reduces scale buildup in water heaters and pipes, extends appliance life, and improves how soap and shampoo perform. See our Denver softener installation page for specifics.

Whole Home Reverse Osmosis

The most complete solution available. A custom-built whole-home RO system removes what standard filtration doesn't, including arsenic, hexavalent chromium, and radium. Best fit for Denver homeowners who want the highest water quality from every tap.

Point-of-Use Filtration

For Denver homeowners who want treated drinking water without a whole-home system. A practical starting point that we can expand later if your needs change.

What One Customer Said About the HydraShield Elite

“I found Smart Living Water on Google and tried to call two other local competitors first and they did not answer their phones. Later that day I called Joredan (after hours expecting an answering machine) and instead he answered surprisingly and we literally talked for almost an hour. He asked lots of questions, and I literally about broke down. Finally solutions and not more problems. I spent ten years with scars that wouldn't heal. Seven surgeries. My most recent one was six months ago, and within a few weeks of being back in hard water, it was cracking and bleeding all over again — it's like my body couldn't catch a single break. Then I put in the HydraShield Elite whole-house system from Smart Living Water (I call it the Cadillac, and it earns the nickname), and in less than a week my skin started healing in ways it hasn't in a decade. I'm not reaching for lotion just to function. I'm not using it AT ALL except on my hands – YAY! I'm using less soap. And for the first time in years, I'm not waking up thirsty in the night, thanks to the RO.”

Francine Brown

“I've been interested in a home water filtration system for a while. I met Joredan at a Home and Garden event and decided to spring for a free water test and estimate. He was super friendly and knowledgeable, explaining everything and answered all my questions. I came away with a better understanding of the water system in my home, and a new filtration unit. Water from the tap tastes fantastic now. Great experience!”

Frequently asked questions

Does Smart Living Water actually travel to Denver for a free water test?

Yes. We drive to Denver at no charge for the water test and the quote. There's no fee for the visit and no obligation after. We've built the free-travel model into how we operate because getting in front of your actual water is the only way to recommend the right system. Call (970) 773-6439 to set up a time.

Denver Water says my water is safe. Why would I need a filtration system?

Safe by regulatory standards and ideal for your home aren't the same thing. Denver Water publishes an annual report showing it meets federal standards, and some homeowners still want disinfection byproducts and trace metals reduced further, especially in drinking water. A free water test shows you exactly where your home's tap water stands so you can make an informed choice.

What type of system makes sense for a Denver home with moderately hard water and concerns about arsenic?

A softener alone won't address arsenic. Standard hardness treatment and contaminant removal are different jobs. For a Denver home with both concerns, a whole-home reverse osmosis system is the most complete solution because it handles hardness, arsenic, chromium, and disinfection byproducts in one installation. We'll confirm what's right for your specific water before recommending anything. Every job is different. Contact Smart Living Water for an accurate estimate.

Does a whole-home filtration installation in Denver require a permit?

What's required depends on the scope of the installation and your specific home setup. We'll walk you through what's needed before we start. We don't skip steps that protect you and keep the work above board.

I live in an older Denver neighborhood like Park Hill or Washington Park. Does housing age affect what system I need?

It can. Older homes have older pipes, and pipes that have been running hard water for 40 or 50 years often have significant scale buildup inside them. That affects flow rate and can affect how a new system performs. When we do your water test in Denver, we factor in the home's age and plumbing configuration. It's part of why we do the in-home visit rather than guessing over the phone.

How long does installation take for a whole-home system in Denver?

Most installs are completed in a single visit. The exact time depends on the system type and your home's plumbing layout. A point-of-entry filtration system generally goes faster than a full whole-home reverse osmosis setup. Once it's in, the systems we install are designed to run maintenance free. We're not selling you something that needs a $300-a-year service contract to function.
