What Hard Water Is Costing Tijeras Homes
Homeowners in Tijeras and the East Mountains area commonly face water quality challenges from wells or municipal supplies. Hard water effects show up in places you notice every day, including:
Mineral buildup on faucets, showerheads, and fixtures
Shortened lifespan for water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines
Dry skin and dull hair after showering
Higher soap and detergent usage because lather doesn't form easily
Scale accumulation inside pipes that affects water flow
Addressing your home's water quality is a practical decision that reduces wear on systems you've already invested in.

Common Questions About Water Treatment in Tijeras
Do I need a water softener in Tijeras if I have municipal water?
A free in-home water test tells you exactly which minerals and contaminants are present in your water, but being on the municipal water supply in Tijeras does not preclude you from having hard water.
Do RainSoft systems come with a warranty?
RainSoft water treatment systems carry a lifetime warranty covering the equipment installed in your home. Air purification products are not covered under that warranty. Please contact us for more information.
Can one system address both hard water and drinking water quality in my home?
Different systems target different concerns based on your water test results. A whole-home conditioning system like the EC5 treats hardness minerals throughout the house, while an under-sink reverse osmosis system improves the quality of drinking and cooking water. The two can work together if you want to address both concerns.

What Our Customers Say
Matt Bowen did a great presentation and we decided to go with the system. Main reasons was we recently remodeled our bathroom and wanted to protect it from the calcium build up. We also wanted to get away from the bottled water and get some good clean drinking water. I'm able to use it for my coffee, ice tray, and cooking. We noticed a difference with the shower and my hair looked pretty and soft. We highly recommend the system and Matt for any of your water treatment needs. The plumber Izaiah was really nice and did a great job with the install.
Great customer service and communication! Matt was helpful to work with and identified our need for Rain Soft through several tests of visibility, feel and taste. There is an immediate difference noticed in the quality with a Rain Soft Water System and we are happy to be converting to clean water. Thank you!
We had a great experience getting our water system installed! The customer service was excellent from start to finish. Sean, the gentleman who came to our home, was polite, professional, and very knowledgeable — he took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we understood how the system works. We’re very happy with the results and highly recommend this company for anyone considering a water system in New Mexico.
