    How a Water Conditioning System Works:

    1. Sediment Filter

    First, the Sediment Filter captures sand, rust, and silt commonly found in municipal water supplies. The filter can be installed in the pre or post position.

    2. Carbon Filter

    Next, the Carbon Tank intensely filters the water using a proprietary mixture of high-quality catalytic carbon medias. Its function is to reduce chlorine and chloramine tastes and odors.

    3. Water Conditioners

    Finally, the Water Conditioner transforms scale-forming calcium and magnesium into harmless crystals that won’t stick to pipes, fixtures, or appliances, providing 99.6 percent scale prevention without the use of chemicals or salt.

    Why Should You Address Chlorine in Your Water?

    You should address your Tucson home’s chlorine in the water because it:

    • Is a potentially harmful chemical added to municipal water to kill bacteria
    • Can be absorbed into your body through your skin, by breathing vapors while bathing and by drinking
    • Can dry out your skin, which can leave you itchy, dry, and uncomfortable
    • Can damage your hair, requiring the use of conditioners and more frequent hair coloring
    • Is absorbed instantly into your foods and can make sauces and drinks taste foul

    Frequently Asked Questions


    A water conditioner is a salt-free system that treats hard water minerals without removing them. Instead of exchanging calcium and magnesium for sodium, it crystallizes them so they don’t adhere to pipes or fixtures. This provides scale prevention without the “slippery” feel or waste associated with salt-based systems. Tucson homeowners who prefer eco-friendly, low-maintenance solutions often choose Cal’s Plumbing’s NaturSoft® system for its certified 99.6% scale prevention performance.


    The system works in three key stages: first, a sediment filter traps sand, rust, and silt; second, a carbon tank removes chlorine and chemical odors; and finally, the water conditioner converts hardness minerals into harmless crystals. The result is clean, better-tasting water that protects pipes, appliances, and skin. Cal’s Plumbing installs these systems across Tucson to improve water quality and reduce maintenance on plumbing fixtures near me.


    Chlorine is used by municipalities to disinfect water, but long-term exposure can cause dry skin, brittle hair, and unpleasant tastes and odors. It can also affect the flavor of food and beverages prepared with tap water. A whole-house water conditioner with a carbon filtration stage removes these chemicals, providing cleaner, healthier water for drinking, cooking, and bathing. Many Tucson homeowners notice softer skin and better-tasting water immediately after installation.


    The NaturSoft® system prevents limescale by transforming calcium and magnesium into crystal form that won’t stick to pipes or fixtures. This reduces buildup in water heaters, dishwashers, and faucets—extending their lifespan and efficiency. Certified by the DVGW, it prevents 99.6% of scale without using salt, electricity, or backwashing. It’s ideal for Tucson’s hard water conditions and provides all the benefits of soft water while retaining healthy minerals in your drinking supply.


    Water conditioners provide numerous benefits: no salt or electricity usage, zero wastewater, and improved water taste and smell. They prevent scale buildup, extend the life of appliances, and protect plumbing from corrosion. In Tucson’s hard-water environment, a Cal’s Plumbing-installed system also means less maintenance, cleaner dishes, softer laundry, and healthier hair and skin—all while maintaining beneficial minerals in your water.
