What's Really in Your Palisade Water?

Smart Living Water installs whole-home filtration, water softening, and reverse osmosis systems in Palisade, CO, and Joredan comes to you at no charge for the water test and quote. Whether you're on town water or a well, our free test looks at hardness, chlorine byproducts, nitrates, arsenic, and lead, so you're working from your own numbers instead of a guess. If you're tasting something off or noticing mineral buildup on your fixtures, there's a real reason for it. Call (970) 773-6439 and we'll test your water, show you exactly what's in it, and give you a straight answer on what it takes to fix it.

Older plumbing is the usual way lead reaches a tap, through service lines, solder, and interior pipes, so lead is part of every Palisade test we run. Hard water is the other complaint we hear constantly from Palisade homeowners, and it's the one you can see on every faucet. Smart Living Water holds a 4.9-star rating across 76 Google reviews, and Bryce Quigley is a proud member of the Western Colorado Home Builders Association. We serve Palisade the same way we serve Grand Junction and the rest of the Western Slope: honestly, without contracts, and without charging you just to show up.

What We Test Palisade Water For

Knowing what's in your water is the first step. Here's what our Palisade test covers.

Arsenic

Arsenic occurs naturally in some rock and has no taste, color, or smell. It's on our Palisade test list so you know where your water stands, and long-term exposure at elevated levels is a serious health concern worth ruling out.

Lead from Older Plumbing

Lead rarely comes from the source water itself. It leaches from service lines and interior plumbing, especially in homes built before the late 1980s. A water test at your tap tells you what's actually reaching your glass.

Trihalomethanes and Haloacetic Acids

These disinfection byproducts form when chlorine reacts with organic matter in the water. We include them in the Palisade test, and they're the kind of thing a whole-home filtration system handles at the point of entry.

Nitrates

We check nitrates as part of the test, and they matter most for households with infants.

Hard Water

Grand Valley water is hard, and Palisade is no exception. You'll see it as scale on your coffee maker, spots on glasses coming out of the dishwasher, and buildup inside your pipes and water heater.

Our Services

What Smart Living Water Installs in Palisade

Every system is sized to your home and your specific water. We don't sell you what you don't need.

Whole-Home Water Filtration

A whole-house filtration system treats every faucet, shower, and appliance in your Palisade home from one point of entry. No more worrying about what's in the water you're drinking, cooking with, or bathing in. These systems are designed to run maintenance-free once installed.

Water Softener Installation

Hard water is the single most common complaint we hear from Western Slope homeowners. A water softener removes the calcium and magnesium that cause scale buildup, spotted dishes, rough laundry, and dry skin. If your current softener isn't cutting it, we can test the water and adjust the settings, or replace the unit with something that actually works.

Whole-Home Reverse Osmosis

For the highest level of water quality, a whole-home RO system goes beyond filtration. It removes dissolved solids, heavy metals, nitrates, and most other contaminants at a level standard filters don't reach. If your test turns up nitrates or arsenic, it's the most complete solution available.

Free Water Testing

We don't charge for the water test or the quote. Joredan drives out to Palisade, tests your water, and shows you exactly what's in it before any conversation about systems. You'll know what you're dealing with. Then you decide. Schedule your free water test and we come to you.

How It Works

From Water Test to Clean Water at Every Tap

Free Water Test at Your Palisade Home

Joredan drives to you, tests your water on-site, and walks you through what the results mean. No charge, no obligation.

A System Sized to Your Actual Water

Based on what the test shows, we recommend the right system for your home. Not the biggest one we sell. The right one.

Installation and You're Done

We handle the installation. Most whole-home systems go in the same day. After that, you have clean water at every faucet without ongoing maintenance hassles.

What Palisade Homeowners Should Know Before Installing

Mesa County's Building Division handles building permits for Palisade, and a permit is generally required any time you're altering or connecting to the public water supply. Plumbing upgrades and water connections outside of town limits may also require a Basic Planning Clearance from the Town of Palisade. We're familiar with how this works on the Western Slope, and we'll let you know what's needed for your specific installation before we start. Palisade also sees freezing temperatures from late October through mid-April, which matters for where and how systems are installed. Proper placement protects the equipment through the freeze season without any intervention from you. One more thing worth knowing: the HydraShield Elite system we carry ships anywhere and is designed specifically for water profiles like Palisade's. Francine Brown, one of our customers, called it 'the Cadillac' after her skin started healing from hard-water damage within a week of installation.

I recently moved to the Fruita/GJ area and immediately had Joredan install a salt system as my family likes soft water. I found Joredan online through searches and other sources. I called his competitors and none of them had anything bad or negative to say, which is highly unusual. And Joredan didn’t say anything negative about them either. They all seemed to know each other. JOREDAN’s explanation of his systems and how they were constructed and how they worked were ultimately what won me over. I scheduled him to install the system for the day of my home closing so it would be ready to go. Install was really cool to watch. They did some good work. After one regeneration cycle, the water was so soft I had to call him and thank him. But he went above and beyond. I moved back to Fruita from FL where I used a company that provides a similar salt system. But they rip their customers off by charging $300 per year to “maintain the system and deliver 2 bags of salt every 8 weeks.” They did nothing to “maintain the system” other than put in salt and hit regen on the panel. I had black mold growing in my brine tank and it was coming into the home via the toilets. I disputed this with the company and they said it was normal due to the humidity. Nothing is normal about mold. So I disputed the charge of $300 because they weren’t doing their job. They fought me and my bank wanted a third party person who worked in the industry to write an opinion. Joredan wrote me a letter while he was on vacation. I submitted it. I won my claim. Got my money back from the rip off company. JOREDAN and Smart Living Water are true professionals. I know if I encounter any issues he will come out and make it right. And he doesn’t charge annual fees or any of that crap. Just straight forward, upfront pricing. And he explains how the system functions and when it will need to be flushed or repaired (like in 10 years!). He’s a good guy too. Easy to talk to. Thank you Joredan.

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. I drank distilled water for three years to protect my health, and the gunk my distiller used to pull out of the water was its own warning (I've added the pictures to prove it). I added the reverse osmosis system too, and honestly, the difference in how I feel is amazing. I do so much just to deal with chronic pain and live life, that anything and everything can make or break the day to day. What sold me wasn't a pitch — it was Joredan Quigley asking the right questions. He focused on me, my situation, and my actual health needs, then matched me to the right system instead of the biggest one. His customer service is the best I've come across: he follows up, he shows up, and his assistant Hayden Christenson made the whole thing simple. This saltless system ships anywhere in the U.S. Here's what people to hear: look at your water FIRST and let Joredan guide you. Well water, city water — doesn't matter. So much of what we put up with or blame on our skin, our health, starts with what we put into our body. I was drinking 2 gallons of water a day the last couple months moving. It wasn’t working. I added electrolytes and it wasn’t enough. Meanwhile my scars were becoming debilitating again. My cells could not hydrate and I was super light headed. Moving is stressful enough without all the extra complications. Thankfully it is now going the other way. I will update this review as I go along. Here is the difference of what I was dealing with in my distiller alone. ________________________________________

Excellent service and a high-quality system! Jordan and his team installed everything the same day I purchased it and did a fantastic job. Professional, efficient, and easy to work with. I'm thrilled to have clean, healthy water throughout the whole house. Highly recommend!

Tastes Good!! Smart Living Water is in a similar class as Deep Rock Artesian water (no longer available), the best drinking water we have ever assessed by our method of energetic testing. Joredan is personable, smart, knowledgeable, timely, and easy to work with. We recommend the Smart Living Water Purification system as an extremely worthwhile homeowner's investment! Dr. T and J

I met Joredan at the Grand Junction home show. We are on well water (new experience for us) and I had already installed a purification/softener system. I did not know about Smart Living Water at the time. Joredan made no sales pitch, but offered to have my water tested to see if the system was doing what it needed to be. This was at no cost to me. Got the extensive test panel results back, which showed the system was ‘working’ but wasn’t really necessary. Our water was great but hard even with the softener. Joredan still didn’t try to sell me anything, instead offered to help me get the settings for the softener adjusted to be optimal (again at no cost). I would highly recommend Smart Living Water and regret not researching local suppliers more before purchasing from a national retailer. I have a good system but it didn’t come with the service that Joredan and his company provide.

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 service Palisade, CO?
Yes. We travel to Palisade at no charge for water tests and quotes. Palisade is a regular stop for us on the Western Slope, and there's no added fee for the drive. Call (970) 773-6439 to set up a time that works for you.
What does a Palisade water test check for?
Our free Palisade water test covers hardness, chlorine and its byproducts (trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids), nitrates, arsenic, and lead. Lead depends mostly on the age of your home's plumbing. A test at your own tap is how you find out what's actually reaching your faucet.
My Palisade home was built in the 1980s. Should I be worried about lead in my water?
It's worth checking. Homes from that era can have plumbing materials that leach lead, especially at older fixtures or where service lines were never upgraded. A free water test from us will show you whether lead is present at your tap.
Do I need a permit to install a water treatment system in Palisade?
Generally, yes, if the installation connects to or alters the public water supply. Mesa County's Building Division handles permits for Palisade, and connections outside town limits may also require a Basic Planning Clearance from the Town of Palisade. We'll walk you through what's required for your specific installation before any work starts.
Will a water softener fix the hard water problems in my Palisade home?
A water softener addresses hardness caused by calcium and magnesium, which is the complaint we hear most often from Palisade homeowners. A softener will stop the scale buildup on fixtures, in appliances, and inside your pipes. If arsenic, nitrates, or disinfection byproducts are also a concern, we'd recommend pairing a softener with a filtration or RO system for complete coverage.
How is Palisade's water source different from well water in the area?
Town water and private wells around Palisade come from different sources, and each can have its own mineral and contaminant profile. Either way, a water test is the starting point. We test both city and well water in Palisade at no charge.
What does the free water test in Palisade actually cover?
Joredan tests your water on-site at your Palisade home and walks you through the results in plain language. You'll know what contaminants are present, how hard your water is, and whether there are any immediate concerns. There's no charge for the test, no charge for the quote, and no pressure to buy anything. If your water is fine, he'll tell you that too. You can schedule through the form on our free water test page or call (970) 773-6439 directly.
