Softer Water Solutions in Phoenix and Scottsdale, AZ
Professional Water Softener Solutions
If you’re tired of stubborn water spots, dry skin, or appliances wearing out too soon, hard water may be to blame. In the Phoenix and Scottsdale areas, hard water is a common issue—but it doesn’t have to be your normal. At Allegiance Water Services, we install and service water softener systems that make your home’s water cleaner, gentler, and easier on everything from your pipes to your skin.
We’re a local, full-service provider offering professional water softener installation, maintenance, and repair—all backed by our commitment to quality, sustainability, and excellent customer care.
What Is a Water Softener?
A water softener is a home system that removes hard minerals—like calcium and magnesium—from your water supply. These minerals are what cause buildup in your plumbing, stains on your sinks, and that “dry” feeling on your skin after showering.
Using ion exchange technology, a hard water softener replaces those minerals with sodium or potassium, giving you soft, high-quality water throughout your home. It’s one of the easiest ways to protect your plumbing and your appliances.
Why Install a Whole Home Water Softener?
If you’re living in Phoenix or Scottsdale, chances are your home has hard water. And over time, that can cost you—literally. A whole-home water softener helps:
- Prevent scale buildup in pipes and water-using appliances
- Extend the lifespan of your dishwasher, washing machine, and water heater
- Improve water quality for drinking, cooking, and bathing
- Help soap and shampoo work better, so you use less
- Reduce stains on faucets, glass, and tile
Many families choose to add a reverse osmosis (RO) system when upgrading their home’s water. RO systems go the extra mile by removing contaminants, improving the taste of drinking water, and giving you that extra peace of mind about the water your family uses every day. Paired with a water softener, it’s a great way to ensure cleaner, safer water for your whole home.

Types of Water Softener Systems
There are several different types of water softeners, and knowing the difference can help you choose the right system for your home. Here’s a breakdown of the most common types:
Salt-Based Ion Exchange Water Softeners
Most common. Most effective.
These systems work by swapping hard minerals (like calcium and magnesium) for sodium or potassium. They’re especially popular in Arizona homes because they’re reliable and long-lasting.
Pros:
- Very effective at softening water
- Great for long-term appliance protection
- Ideal for homes with high hardness levels
Cons:
- Requires salt refills
- May need a drain line for discharge
Salt-Free Water Softeners (Conditioners)
Great for eco-conscious homeowners.
Technically, these systems don’t “soften” water—they condition it by preventing minerals from sticking to surfaces. They don’t remove the hardness, but they reduce scale buildup.
Pros:
- No salt or chemicals required
- Lower maintenance
- Eco-friendly option
Cons:
- Not as effective for very hard water
- Won’t make water feel soft
Dual-Tank Water Softeners
Best for large households or high water usage.
These systems have two resin tanks, so one can regenerate while the other keeps working. That means you always have softened water, even during the recharge cycle.
Pros:
- Continuous soft water, 24/7
- Handles heavy usage well
Cons:
- More expensive
- Requires more space
Water Softener Maintenance Made Simple
To get the most out of your system, a little regular water softener maintenance goes a long way. Here are some quick tips to keep it running smoothly:
- Refill salt when it runs low (usually every 4–6 weeks)
- Clean the brine tank annually
- Use quality salt designed for softeners
- Have it checked annually by a pro
Need help? We offer affordable, reliable water softener service plans so you don’t have to think twice.
When to Call for Water Softener Repair
Even the best systems can run into issues. If your water feels “hard” again or you notice buildup or salt issues, it might be time for water softener repair. Common signs include:
- Mineral spots returning on dishes or shower doors
- Low water pressure
- Salt not dissolving in the tank
- System errors or warning lights
Our technicians will get your system back on track without pushing unnecessary replacements.

Ongoing water softener service is key to maximizing the life and performance of your system. We offer:
- Routine inspections
- Filter replacements
- System cleaning
- Performance testing
Whether it’s part of your seasonal home care or a one-time service call, we’re your partner in keeping your system in peak condition year-round.

Overall Rating
Technician patiently walked me through my current setup, identified multiple leaks, and looked to save money by combining and eliminating unneccesay zones.
Paul is all of the above plus irrigation systems technologically advanced.
Lawson Key was very professional, respectful and kind. He did a great and solid job of installing a new faucet for our water filtration system!
Lawson installed a reverse osmosis system at our new home today. While he was here, he also helped answer (many!) other questions and helped inspect the home’s irrigation system for me. He was thorough, professional, friendly, and patient. Thanks so much Lawson and Allegiance!
Fast, reliable. Polite repair people. Fair price.
Lawson was punctual, polite, clean and knowledgeable. He serviced the RO system. Recommended an alarm to detect a leak. Will think about it.
Very prompt service and were there at scheduled times. Both tecs that have been here, Dan and John, were outstanding. Very professional staff including Josh. Pricing is reasonable. I would highly recommend this company.
Paul and Allegiance are the best!
Great company! My water heater and water softener both decided it would be best to stop working on the same day. Allegiance came out and gave me a quote for both and their price was great. I feel like they were really interested in helping me.
These Guys are awesome! They were on time and on the mark. Service was professional and they did a clean repair. I would definitely recommend them.
After 5 years we had water softener , we found out we use soft water for our pool and watering the plants in our back yard , so I called this company they responded fast and the next day they sent their technician Ruben . After we agreed on his estimate , he came the next day. He did awesome job on separating our soft water. Ruben was knowledgeable, fast and reliable. I am so happy with his work and recommend him and this company to everyone.
Fast and reasonable.
Highly recommend for Navien install and servicing.
I have used Allegiance for years now and every time I'm still amazed at how courteous and professional they are. Every year I have my R.O. filter changed and my soft water big blue filter changed. They also perform my mist services for the backyard with shutdown for the winter and startup in the spring. 100% recommend them!
John was great. Professional and courteous. Very pleased with his work.
Extremely impressed and satisfied with professionalism and service. A real person always available by phone unlike several competitors I tried to reach. Eloy the tech was the best in all respects.
I had Eloy come by to repair a water softener system that had failed, as well as replace the filter in the RO system. He was courteous, knowledgeable, responsive, timely, and really knew his stuff.
Paul came today to check my Rain Bird system controller. I have worked with him during my new irrigation installation project at the beginning of this year. I was extremely pleased with the outcome then and again today. I specifically requested him for today’s job. As always, he offered excellent, professional service, knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. I would refer him and Allegiance Water Service to my friends with high remarks.
John was extremely professional and courteous explaining in detail the problems with my irrigation system. He made the repairs and added recommendations as well. He was the best! I highly recommend! Pull
Technician was here within 30 minutes. Did a great job for a fair price. I highly recommend Allegiance…..
Allegiance’s technician Eloy Garcia arrived promptly, explained and showed me the issue with my water softener and also he noted some water in tray beneath the water heater that I had even noticed. He fixed the motor on softener and then removed and replaced my water heater as he noted it was still under manufacturer’s warranty! I am so please with his prompt, thorough and efficient service. I highly recommend him and Allegiance Eater Services!
Ruben and Juan were the best! Great attention to details, all zones were color coded, and helped us with the use of the Rain Bird app. We couldn’t be happier with the great work!
He was wonderfully informative and polite. Educating me on my irrigation system, as I'm from Michigan and very unfamiliar with them.
Allegiance is fantastic. Lawson in particular is a total professional. Super knowledgeable, trustworthy, and efficient. Diagnosed our crazy irrigation issues and came up with a cost effective solution.
These guys replaced my Water Heater today. Prompt, fair price, easy to work with. 5 Stars is not sufficient to rate their quality
What a great job by everyone involved in this process!! A new drip system was installed in both the front and back yards - first time a system was installed by real professionals. System works great and is easy to use!! Highly recommend Allegiance!!!
Allegiance Water Services was great! They prioritized my urgent request and Lawson was great when he came to diagnose the issue. He thoroughly explained the problem and gave me different options and advice on future work. 5 star support!
Why should you hire Allegiance? Quality. Dependability. Customer service. Experience. Dedication. Hard work. This company takes quality experience and service to the next level. I haven’t worked with many home service companies who do such a good job like this. From the moment we got the quote, until the minute the job was done, they were reliable and they provided the service we requested. First they came out to inspect the issue. Once they figured out what was wrong, they provided a verbal quote and followed up with a digital quote. I was able to accept the quote digitally and put a deposit down to begin the work. Since our system needed to be replaced, it was quite a process and luckily they had it all under control. They contacted the city and cox communications to flag their underground items so that they knew where to avoid. Then Lawson came out and literally spent an entire day replacing the system. The customer service was above and beyond. Yes there are a million plumbers and irrigation companies out there, but there aren’t as many reputable, trustworthy, licensed and qualified ones like Allegience.
Very professional and responsive. No guess work as to when they arrive. Explained everything and cleaned up yard after they were done. Recommend...
I am so grateful to Lawson for helping me with my spinkler system. He is knowledgeable, kind, and patiently answers all my questions. I trust him and Allegiance Water Service for all of my home’s plumbing needs.
The service tech was pleasant, courteous and knowledgeable. He tracked down the problem and eliminated it as quickly as possible, as he was aware that what his time cost us in getting the job done.
Allegiance Water Services sent a repair man to fix a broken sprinkler head.. He was courteous, pleasant and well informed. He fixed the head and checked to be sure the whole system was working again correctly. I appreciated his service. Thank you
