Softer water.
Better living.
Hard water shows up in a lot of different and annoying ways: soap that will not lather, spots on dishes, dry skin, dingy laundry, scale building up in your water heater and on your (once) shiny fixtures.
Since 2003, Sharp Water Solutions has been helping homeowners around the Salt Lake Valley make everyday things like showers, meals, and even a glass of water easier and more enjoyable.
We install and service high‑quality water softeners in Salt Lake City and surrounding communities, and we take pride in making the process simple and straightforward - from the first water test to the final inspection.
What soft water changes in your home:
✔️ Soft water protects your plumbing and your water heater from mineral scale, which helps them work efficiently for longer.
✔️ Showers feel noticeably better, skin and hair stay softer, clothes rinse cleaner, and glassware comes out clear instead of cloudy.
✔️
You'll use less soap and fewer cleaners, which is easier on your budget and your home.
How our process works
It starts with understanding your water. We test hardness and note any other concerns so the solution fits your home, not someone else’s.
Once we know your usage and household size, we recommend the right system, explain the options in plain language, and provide a straightforward estimate.
Licensed installers handle the setup, program the unit, and walk you through how to use it.
After installation, we’re here for maintenance, tune‑ups, and repairs, so your system keeps delivering the results you expect.
Options that fit you
Salt‑based systems are the classic choice when you want that silky shower feel and maximum scale control. They exchange hardness minerals for sodium, which boosts soap performance and protects fixtures and appliances.
Salt‑free conditioners are a great low‑maintenance alternative for households that want to minimize upkeep. They do not produce the slick feel in the shower, but they help prevent scale from sticking to surfaces and require very little attention.
We’ll help you decide which approach best fits your water, your preferences, and your maintenance style.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Water Softeners
How Do I Know If I Have Hard Water in My Utah Home?
Common signs of hard water in Utah include white mineral spots on dishes and glassware, chalky buildup on faucets and shower doors, a soapy film on skin after showering, and scale accumulation in appliances like water heaters.
In areas like the Salt Lake Valley, where water hardness often exceeds 15 grains per gallon, these issues can worsen appliance efficiency and plumbing longevity.

What Size Water Softener Do I Need?
The ideal water softener size depends on your home's water hardness level, household size, and average daily usage, typically 50-75 gallons per person.
For Utah's tough mineral content, we recommend systems with at least 30,000-40,000 grain capacity for a family of four to ensure efficient regeneration without frequent cycles.
During your free consultation, we'll measure your exact needs to avoid undersizing or overspending.

What's the Difference Between Salt-Based and Salt-Free Water Softeners?
Salt-based water softeners use ion exchange to remove calcium and magnesium, providing that true "soft" feel ideal for Utah's severe hard water (over 15 grains per gallon). They're effective for scale prevention but require salt refills.
Salt-free conditioners, like template-assisted crystallization systems, alter minerals to stop sticking without adding sodium - great for eco-friendly or low-maintenance setups in the Salt Lake Valley.
Which is best? It varies by your water chemistry - get a free test at 801-233-3325 to decide.
How Often Does a Water Softener Need Maintenance in Utah's Climate?
In Utah's hard water regions, salt-based softeners need salt added every 4-6 weeks and annual professional checks to clean resin beds and adjust for seasonal usage changes, like higher summer demand.
Salt-free systems require minimal upkeep, often just a yearly filter swap. Regular maintenance prevents issues from freeze-thaw cycles and extends system life.
We offer easy service plans for Utah homeowners - call 801-233-3325 to schedule yours and keep things running smoothly.
Will a Water Softener Protect My Water Heater and Plumbing in Utah?
Absolutely! Utah's mineral-rich water causes scale buildup that reduces water heater efficiency by up to 48% and shortens plumbing lifespan.
A softener removes those minerals, potentially extending appliance life by 20-30% and lowering energy bills.
In the Salt Lake Valley, this means fewer repairs and better performance year-round.

Is Soft Water Safe to Drink?
Yes, softened water is safe for drinking, as it only replaces hardness minerals with trace sodium or potassium - typically far less than a slice of bread per glass.
For ultra-pure taste in areas like Bluffdale with variable water sources, pair it with a reverse osmosis (RO) system to filter out additional contaminants.
Many Utah families notice better hydration and flavor.

How Much Does Water Softener Installation Cost in Utah?
Installation costs for a water softener in Utah depend completely on the system type, home size, and features like metered controls for efficiency.
Most Salt Lake Valley homeowners see ROI in 1-2 years through reduced detergent use (up to 50% less) and fewer repairs.
