Diamond Soft 30K
A metered ion-exchange softener sized for very hard West Valley water.
- Water hardness (calcium & magnesium)
- Dissolved clear-water iron
- Scale on fixtures, pipes and water heaters
West Valley water is hard — but exactly how hard depends on your city and even your ZIP. Look yours up, then we confirm it at your tap and size the right system. No guesswork, no pressure.
The problem
Dissolved minerals leave scale inside your water heater and pipes, spot your glassware and shower doors, and leave soap unable to lather. It is invisible, gradual, and expensive over time. Measuring it is the first step to being done with it.

How it works
Check your ZIP above for a regional reading, then book a test for the exact number.
About 20 minutes at your tap — hardness, iron and more. You keep the results.
If a system fits, you get the precise unit, the published price, and financing. Then a clean install.
Built on data, not averages
Published hardness figures vary by city and by zone across the West Valley — Glendale reads harder than Peoria, and Surprise varies within its own limits. That is why we lead with a lookup and finish with a measurement at your tap, instead of quoting you a citywide average.

Yes — very. Arizona has some of the hardest water in the country, and West Valley cities generally run 14–23 grains per gallon. The exact figure varies by city and ZIP, so the reliable number is the one measured at your own tap.
Answers
Very hard. Arizona has some of the hardest water in the country, and West Valley cities generally fall in the 14–23 grains-per-gallon range. Published figures vary by city and by zone — Glendale reads around 14.6 gpg, Peoria around 9.7, and much of Surprise, Goodyear and Buckeye sits in the very-hard band. The reliable number is the one measured at your own tap.
No. There is no Arizona ban on salt-based water softeners — the 'banned' claims come from sites marketing salt-free alternatives. Salt-based softeners are legal and common across Arizona, including the West Valley. A handful of California cities restrict them; Arizona does not.
That loop is designed for exactly this. The Diamond Soft 30K softener (or the softener-plus-filter combo) connects to a standard Arizona softener loop, so installation in most West Valley new builds is clean and quick.
The Diamond Soft 30,000-grain softener is $6,250 installed, the whole-home softener + filter is $9,997, and the Black Diamond carbon filter is $6,150. Every price is published, and financing is available.
