Colorado’s Hard Water Doesn’t Just Leave Spots—It Leaves Damage
The Real Cost of Hard Water in Aurora Homes
If you’ve noticed cloudy glassware, dry skin, or stubborn white buildup around your faucets, you’re likely dealing with hard water. Common across the Denver metro area, hard water is packed with minerals like calcium and magnesium. Over time, those minerals stick to your pipes, damage appliances, and leave behind frustrating scale. While it’s safe to drink, untreated hard water can shorten the lifespan of your plumbing, stain laundry, and make cleaning harder than it should be.
Why Traditional Softeners Aren’t Right for Everyone
That’s where water softeners come in—but not all are created equal. Old-school systems remove minerals through salt exchange, replacing calcium and magnesium with sodium. That process works, but it requires frequent salt refills, periodic maintenance, and wastewater discharge. It also isn’t ideal for homes on restricted plumbing codes or for homeowners looking to reduce sodium in their water. That’s why many families are choosing no salt water conditioning systems as a smarter, greener solution.
What Is a Water Conditioning System, and How Does It Work?
Before you commit to any solution, it’s important to understand how modern water conditioners differ from traditional softeners—and what makes them ideal for our region.
A Better Approach to Water Quality—Without the Salt
A whole house water conditioning system doesn’t remove minerals—it changes them. Using a process called template-assisted crystallization (TAC), it restructures hard minerals so they can’t cling to your pipes or fixtures. The minerals pass through harmlessly, leaving your water clean, your plumbing protected, and your skin feeling softer—all without salt, chemicals, or moving parts.
Pairing with Other Water Treatment Solutions
Conditioners handle hardness, but what about chlorine taste, sediment, or chemical runoff? For homeowners who want to go the extra mile, Done also installs whole home filtration and reverse osmosis systems. These solutions work together to create safer, better-tasting water throughout your home. Whether you want to protect your plumbing or purify your drinking water, we’ll help you build the right system from the ground up.
Local Water Knowledge That Makes All the Difference
Choosing a water system isn’t just about the equipment—it’s about knowing what your home is up against.
Built for the Water Challenges You Actually Live With
The water coming into your home may look clear, but it’s carrying a heavy load—literally. Along the Front Range, mineral-heavy water is the norm, thanks to snowmelt sources, aging infrastructure, and fluctuating seasonal demand. That’s why so many homes here experience buildup in pipes, worn-out water heaters, and dry skin despite daily moisturizing. At Done Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric, we’ve been helping Colorado homeowners tackle these issues for over two decades. We don’t just install systems—we install solutions that are proven to work with the quirks of our region’s water. From newer homes with high-efficiency fixtures to older houses with a patchwork of plumbing upgrades, we’ve seen it all—and we know how to make your system last.

Every home has different plumbing needs. Whether you live in a new build with modern lines or a mid-century ranch that’s seen a few DIY upgrades, we’ll tailor your water conditioning system to match. Our process includes on-site water testing, an assessment of your plumbing layout, and a clear explanation of your best-fit options—no pressure, no guesswork.
