WHAT'S INCLUDED IN WATER TREATMENT
Water Treatment Services We Offer
Water Softener Installation
Las Vegas water is among the hardest in the country-20-30 grains from SNWA sources. A whole-home ion-exchange softener removes calcium and magnesium, protects pipes and appliances, and improves skin and laundry. We size from a water test, install bypass, drain, and brine tank, and plumb it to code.
Whole-House Water Filtration
Whole-house filtration treats water at the point of entry so every tap gets cleaner water. We design multi-stage systems for Las Vegas conditions-sediment, chlorine/chloramine, and carbon filtration-and install them with proper plumbing. A licensed plumber does the work, sized from your water test.
Reverse Osmosis System Installation
Reverse osmosis (RO) reduces dissolved solids and improves drinking water quality. In Las Vegas, high TDS and taste concerns make RO popular at the kitchen sink or for whole-house. We install under-sink and whole-house RO systems and optional UV purification. A licensed plumber handles the plumbing.
Water Quality Testing
Before you buy a softener, filter, or RO system, you should know what is in your water. We offer comprehensive water quality testing for Las Vegas homes and businesses-hardness, lead, bacteria, chlorine, TDS-using lab partnerships. We interpret results and recommend treatment only if needed.
Salt-Free Water Conditioning
Salt-free water conditioning uses template-assisted crystallization (TAC) to reduce scale without salt, drain, or electricity. It doesn't remove hardness like a softener but changes how minerals behave so they don't stick to pipes. In a desert, the water-conservation angle appeals to many Las Vegas customers. We install and plumb to code.
Lead & Copper Testing
Las Vegas homes built before 1986 may have lead solder joints, copper pipes that leach into standing water, or lead service lines connecting to the municipal main. The EPA Lead and Copper Rule requires action when lead exceeds 15 ppb or copper exceeds 1.3 ppm. Active Plumbing provides certified lead and copper water testing for homeowners, real estate transactions, and landlords across the Las Vegas Valley.
PFAS Screening
PFAS - per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances known as forever chemicals - have been detected in water systems across the country including Nevada. The EPA finalized national drinking water standards for PFAS in 2024 with maximum contaminant levels of 4 ppt for PFOA and PFOS. Active Plumbing provides PFAS water screening for Las Vegas homeowners concerned about these persistent contaminants.

About Our Water Treatment Services in Las Vegas
Las Vegas tap water is known for its high mineral content, drawn largely from Lake Mead and treated through the Southern Nevada Water Authority system. While safe to drink, the hard water common throughout the valley leaves scale buildup in pipes, water heaters, and appliances - a particular concern in older homes built during the 1970s and 1980s growth boom. Residents in Henderson, North Las Vegas, and Sunrise Manor regularly deal with spotted dishes, stiff laundry, and shortened appliance lifespans as a result of these elevated calcium and magnesium levels.
Neighborhoods like Green Valley and State Streets see heavy demand for filtration and softening systems year-round. Active Plumbing installs and services whole-home filtration, reverse osmosis units, and water softeners sized for the Las Vegas climate and local water profile. Homes treated for hard water often see fewer pipe-related issues over time, and customers sometimes discover they also need water heater services once scale damage is assessed.
Our team handles new installations, filter replacements, and system troubleshooting with straightforward scheduling and honest recommendations. Beyond water treatment, we handle drain & sewer services when mineral deposits contribute to slow or blocked lines. For urgent situations, emergency plumbing is always available.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 to schedule a water quality assessment.

Water Treatment FAQs
Whole-home water softener installation in the Las Vegas area typically runs between $800 and $2,500 depending on the size of the home and the unit selected, with higher-capacity systems needed for larger households given that local water tests at 20 to 30 grains of hardness - among the highest in the country. Additional costs can come up if bypass valves, new drain lines, or brine tank placement require extra work. Active Plumbing provides honest assessments before any work begins so you know what the job involves upfront.
Active Plumbing is open 24/7, so you can call any day to schedule a water quality test or a whole-house water filtration installation without waiting for a weekday appointment window. Most non-emergency installs are scheduled within a few days, while urgent situations related to water quality or plumbing damage can be handled faster. The actual installation of a reverse osmosis system or water softener typically takes a few hours for a standard setup, though homes with older plumbing from Las Vegas's 1970s and 1980s growth period may add time if connections need updating.
Whole-house water filtration from Active Plumbing uses a multi-stage approach that addresses chlorine, chloramines, and sediment - all common concerns with Southern Nevada Water Authority-treated water from Lake Mead. The system is designed and sized for the Las Vegas water profile rather than a one-size-fits-all setup, and it covers every tap and appliance in the home rather than a single point-of-use filter. If drinking water quality is also a priority, a reverse osmosis system installation can be added under the kitchen sink to reduce total dissolved solids further.
In Las Vegas, permits are generally not required for standard under-sink reverse osmosis system installations or direct appliance connections, but whole-home systems that involve new drain lines, bypass plumbing, or modifications to supply lines can trigger permit requirements under Clark County or City of Las Vegas codes. Active Plumbing uses licensed plumbers for all water treatment installations, which means the work is completed in a way that meets local code requirements whether or not a permit is formally pulled. If your project does require a permit, we handle that coordination rather than leaving it to you.
Las Vegas water consistently measures 20 to 30 grains of hardness, which puts it among the hardest municipal water supplies in the United States, and that level of calcium and magnesium concentration accelerates scale buildup inside pipes, water heaters, and appliances. Homes in Henderson, North Las Vegas, and Sunrise Manor see this show up as spotted dishes, stiff laundry, and shortened appliance lifespans on a regular basis. The dry desert climate also means mineral deposits concentrate faster as water evaporates, which is part of why salt-free water conditioning and water softener installation both see consistent demand across the valley year-round.
Water treatment equipment installed by Active Plumbing carries the manufacturer's warranty on the unit itself, which varies by brand and product type - reverse osmosis systems and water softeners from reputable manufacturers typically include multi-year coverage on major components. The installation labor is performed by licensed plumbers, which matters in Las Vegas because work done outside code compliance can void manufacturer warranties and create issues during a home sale inspection. If you have questions about what a specific system's warranty covers before committing, Active Plumbing can walk through that during a water quality assessment so you are not surprised later.
