Whole-house filtration, softening, reverse osmosis, arsenic removal, and complete private well water treatment — engineered for Prescott, Chino Valley & Northern Arizona.
Every Arizona home is unique — and well water varies house to house. We test your water and design a custom treatment system to address your specific needs.
Systems that treat water at the main line, providing crystal-clear, safe water throughout your entire home. Perfect for removing sediment, chlorine, and other contaminants.
Reduce hard water minerals that damage appliances and plumbing. Soft water extends equipment life, improves skin and hair, and saves money on soaps and detergents.
Prescott's well water can contain elevated arsenic and emerging contaminants like PFAS. We deploy proven removal technologies to protect your family's health.
Full well water service for Prescott, Chino Valley, Dewey-Humboldt, and Skull Valley homeowners: lab-certified testing for bacteria, arsenic, nitrates, hardness and metals; sediment & iron filtration; UV disinfection; pressure tank service; and custom treatment systems engineered to your well's exact chemistry.
We specify Charger Water Products for most of our installs. They're a family-owned Arizona manufacturer based in Phoenix — which means locally-stocked parts, fast replacements, and equipment built specifically for Arizona's hard, mineral-heavy water.
Charger is our preferred partner because it works best for Arizona homes. But we also install and service Pentair, Pelican, Kinetico, Culligan, Rainsoft, WaterBoss, and most commodity-grade systems. Have equipment already? We'll service it or replace only what's worn.
From testing to installation to long-term support, we guide you through every step.
We sample your water and analyze it for contaminants, hardness, pH, and more. No charge, no obligation.
We explain exactly what's in your water and recommend the right treatment system for your budget and needs.
We design a system tailored to your home's size, water usage, and specific contaminant profile.
Licensed plumber handles complete installation to code, with thorough testing before handoff.
Regular maintenance, filter replacements, and system checkups to ensure peak performance.
Common signs include cloudy or discolored water, scale on faucets and shower heads, soap that won't lather, stained sinks or laundry, dry skin and hair after showering, and a metallic or chlorine taste. The only way to know exactly what's in your water is a certified lab test. Aqua Cat's $179 Premium Water Test identifies hardness plus 30+ contaminants including arsenic, PFAS, lead, and bacteria.
Water softening removes hardness minerals — calcium and magnesium — that cause scale, soap scum, and appliance damage. Filtration removes sediment, chlorine, taste-and-odor compounds, and depending on the media, contaminants like iron, arsenic, or PFAS. Most Prescott homes need both. Aqua Cat installs combined softening-plus-filtration systems sized to the lab results from your water test.
Yes — arsenic is naturally elevated across Yavapai County. Peer-reviewed sampling found that more than 40% of private wells in Yavapai and Pinal Counties exceed the EPA 10 ppb arsenic limit, with some Cornville-area wells testing as high as 952 µg/L. Arsenic is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, so a lab test is the only way to know. Whole-house arsenic removal systems bring levels to non-detectable. Learn more about arsenic removal →
Replacement frequency depends on water quality and system type. Sediment pre-filters typically last 6 to 12 months. Carbon filters last 1 to 2 years. Reverse osmosis membranes last 2 to 5 years. Water softener resin lasts 10 to 15 years. Aqua Cat sets a maintenance schedule for every install and offers reminder service so the system never under-performs.
A properly sized system has minimal impact on water pressure — usually a drop of 2 to 5 psi from a static reading. Undersized or clogged systems are a different story. Aqua Cat measures your home's flow rate and pressure before specifying a system, and selects equipment with a service flow rate that matches simultaneous shower, dishwasher, and laundry use without bottlenecking.
No obligation. No pressure. We'll test your water, explain your options, and recommend the best solution for your home.
