The Water Guys Who Test First, Sell Second

ClearTap started in 2014 after our founder watched a neighbor get sold a $6,000 system they didn't need. We do it the opposite way: we test your water, show you the actual numbers, and recommend only what fixes your problem.

We're licensed plumbers first, water specialists second — so a softener is installed right, plumbed cleanly, and backed by people who'll pick up the phone years later.

  • Free, no-pressure in-home water test
  • Straight answers on softener vs. filter vs. RO
  • Certified equipment — not house-brand markups
  • Financing so a fix fits your budget

Not sure what your water needs? Start with a free test.

We'll test your water on-site, show you exactly what's in it, and recommend only what you actually need — no pressure, no jargon.

Reviews

Salt Lake Homeowners on ClearTap

Our water heater died in three years and the plumber said hard water killed it. ClearTap tested our water — 18 grains, brutal — and put in a softener. Dishes are spotless now and my skin stopped itching. Wish we'd done it years ago.
Marisol VanceHomeowner, Sugar House
We were buying cases of bottled water every week. ClearTap installed a reverse-osmosis system under the sink and now the tap water tastes better than the bottles. Paid for itself already, and the install was clean and tidy.
Derek HalvorsenHomeowner, The Avenues
Rotten-egg smell from the well water at our Holladay place for years. ClearTap figured out it was sulfur, put in the right filter, and it's completely gone. Honest crew — they didn't upsell me on anything I didn't need.
Priya RamanHomeowner, Holladay
Free water test, a clear explanation of what was actually in our water, and a fair quote with financing. No pressure at all. The softener and RO combo has been flawless for over a year now.

Good Questions

Water Treatment FAQs

Is Salt Lake City water really that hard?

Yes — much of the valley runs 12–20+ grains per gallon, which is 'very hard.' That's what scales your fixtures, spots your dishes, and shortens the life of water heaters and dishwashers. Our free test tells you your exact number.

Do I need a softener, a filter, or both?

It depends on your water. A softener fixes hardness (scale, spots, dry skin); a filter or RO system handles taste, chlorine, and contaminants. Many homes benefit from both — but we only recommend what your test actually shows you need.

Is the water test really free?

Completely free, and there's no obligation. A technician tests your water on-site, explains the results in plain English, and gives you options. If you don't need anything, we'll tell you.

Will a softener make my water taste salty?

No. A properly sized softener uses salt to regenerate, but it doesn't add a salty taste to your water. If you want crisp drinking water on top of soft water, we pair it with a reverse-osmosis tap.

How much does a system cost — and do you finance?

It varies by the system and your water, which is why we test first and quote flat, upfront pricing. Yes, we offer financing so a fix can fit your monthly budget instead of a big one-time hit.

Can you fix rotten-egg or metallic smells?

Absolutely — that's usually sulfur or iron, common in well and some city water. We identify the exact cause in the water test and install the right filtration to remove the smell and staining for good.
