How we work

Aquaco treats water across the Phoenix valley. The business started in Michigan in 1983 and incorporated in Arizona in 2000, which puts more than forty years in the trade behind it and a quarter of a century of that spent on valley water specifically. The valley has roughly doubled in size in that time and the water is as hard as it ever was. What has not changed much is the way most of the industry goes about selling the fix.

There is a particular pattern we set ourselves against. A national chain sends a commissioned salesperson to your kitchen, they run a demonstration designed to alarm rather than to measure, and the price falls by half if you sign tonight. The equipment is often fine. The way it is sold is not, and it is why people distrust this whole trade.

We do the opposite, and it is not complicated. We come out, we test your water with a real kit, and we tell you the number. Then we tell you what we would do about it — which is sometimes less than you expected, and occasionally nothing at all. There is no discount that expires when we leave your driveway, because the price is just the price.

The other half of it is sizing. A water softener is specified on grains of hardness per day, which means the people in the house and the water they actually use. Get that wrong and the system regenerates every night, burns salt, and still lets hard water through at seven in the morning when everyone is in the shower. A great deal of the disappointment people have with softeners is really disappointment with a unit that was never large enough. So we work the size out from the people in the house and the hardness at your tap, before anything is specified.

Behind that sits more than most people expect. We work with a network of 85 associated plumbers across the valley, all of them seasoned, which is what lets us schedule properly and handle a job that turns out to be bigger than expected. And we specify from more than 1,500 equipment configurations rather than the two or three a chain will offer you, because a condo with no drain access and a six-bedroom house on a well are not the same problem.

Cost does not have to be the determining factor either. Financing runs through two established lenders, both twenty-five years in the business, and three national banks.

We at Aquaco, LLC focus on quality water treatment systems over quantity. We use our years of experience and expertise, completing your project to perfection.
