Why it costs less here

Other companies send a salesperson to your kitchen for a “free water test,” then quote $6,000 to $10,000 for the same kind of setup. We don’t use door-to-door salespeople or in-home sales pitches, so there’s no commission built into your price. We install proven systems at a fair price, and the price is right here on the page.

What’s in the kit

Hero water softener head and tank, Desert Water shop

Hero water softener

Soft water for the whole house. Less white crusty buildup on faucets, shower glass and fixtures, and it protects your plumbing and water heater. Lotion after the bath? Not with a softener.

5-stage reverse osmosis system

5-stage reverse osmosis

Clean drinking water at the kitchen sink for drinking, coffee, ice and cooking. Includes a dedicated drinking water faucet in matte black, chrome or brushed nickel.

Before we install

You need a serviceable softener loop. If you don’t have one, we can usually build a good one for $985 to $3,000. If you want the hose bibs isolated so your pool still gets calcium, that’s usually an extra $685 to $985, your choice.

You don’t want to water your grass with softened water. You can if you want, but when we can, we’ll give you the option to run a new hard-water line to the irrigation.

We always check your water pressure and tell you what we find. High pressure is hard on softeners and RO systems, so if you need a pressure regulator we quote it on site. We stock them on every truck and warranty the work.

Bigger homes

All softener prices are for a 48K (1.5 cubic foot) system. Larger families and larger homes may need the next size up. We quote that as needed, with the same low pricing and the same great warranty.

Why people pick Desert Water

Straight answers

You get the installed price before we start, with tax and card fees included. No “let me talk to my manager” games.

Clack only

We install Clack valves because parts are easy to get and any good plumber can service them. You’re not locked into one dealer.

Local and family-owned

Our shops are in Peoria and Cave Creek and our trucks run the North Valley every day. We’re licensed with AZ ROC #259601 and we back our work for 2 years.

Questions we get every day

How long does the price last?

Through November 30, 2026.

Is $3,250 really installed?

Yes, for a Hero softener on a serviceable loop plus a 5-stage RO at the kitchen sink. If your home needs a loop built or other work, we price it before we start.

How is this different from the $1,650 softener or the $985 RO?

Those are single-system specials. This is the kit: the Hero softener and the RO together, installed, for $3,250.

Do you need to come test my water first?

No in-home sales visit needed. Call or fill out the form and we’ll go over your home on the phone.

My home is bigger. Does the price change?

All softener prices are for a 48K system. Larger homes may need the next size up, and we quote that with the same low pricing.

On a well?

Well water needs a $485 well test before we recommend anything.

Do you have financing?

Financing available through Wisetack, with 0% APR options up to 12 months.*

Seeing a price that seems too low? Some companies use loss leaders, a cheap price to get in the door. Some prices only make sense when nobody’s in the office and nobody answers the phone. With us, a live person answers, and you can text us too.

Kohler Highline two-piece elongated toilet

Toilet installs

From $265Kohler Highline supplied and installed: $685.Tap for details

Toilet installs start at $265, and the fancier the toilet, the more it costs. We’ve installed some for over $1,000. We’ll supply a Kohler Highline toilet with delivery, haul-away and everything else for $685. A Toto is $1,385. Or we can quote installing the toilet you already have. We warranty our work either way, and we only warranty the parts when we supply them.

Delta kitchen faucets in matte black and champagne bronze

Faucet swaps

$265 to $365Quoted by phone.Tap for details

$265 to $365 for most standard faucets, quoted by phone. Fancy or cut-out faucets get a written bid, because the work changes. A cluttered or dirty work area adds time, and we say so up front.

Delta R22000 shower valve and Moen 1222 cartridge

Shower and tub cartridges

$385 to $685Usually somewhere in the middle.Tap for details

Most standard shower and tub cartridges replaced by a professional run $385 to $685, usually somewhere in the middle. We quote on site because the valve, the brand and what’s behind the wall change the job. If the cartridge can’t be fixed, we can usually put in a new valve with standard trim for $785 to $1,250. Fancier trim is available, but it’s hard to quote online. We keep the common Delta, Moen and Pfister cartridges on our trucks and in our warehouse. Part of the price is being ready for the call and having the right parts on the truck when it matters most. We can special order just about anything fancy. If it isn’t one of those, expect a bid for the follow-up visit. Same-day isn’t realistic without a lot of driving around and extra cost, and that’s negotiable on site. We work on Delta 1300, 1400 and 1700 series valves, Moen 1222 and 1255 cartridges, Pfister Avante, Kohler and Symmons, including thermostatic and volume-control valves.
