Common plumbing problems in Anthem

Common plumbing problems in Anthem

Scale from very hard water

EPCOR reports Anthem’s water at about 18 grains per gallon, well past the 10.5 where water counts as very hard. That scale settles in tank water heaters, clogs faucet aerators and wears out dishwasher and washer valves early.

Water heaters from the original build-out

Anthem was built mostly from the late 1990s through the 2000s, so many homes are on their second or third water heater. Original shut-off valves and supply lines are often due for replacement too.

Taste and hardness that shift with the season

Anthem’s supply blends treated surface water with groundwater, and EPCOR notes that taste and hardness can change as that blend changes. A softener set for the hardest water keeps fixtures clean all year.

Water Quality in Anthem

Water Quality in Anthem

Most softener trouble in Anthem comes down to setup. A softener programmed for “average Phoenix water” regenerates too rarely at about 18 grains per gallon and lets scale through. We set it to EPCOR’s latest number and your household’s water use.

Water Heating in Anthem

Water Heating in Anthem

Hard water is the main reason Anthem tank heaters fail early. A yearly flush clears the sediment that collects at the bottom of the tank, and it’s a good moment to check the anode rod.

FAQ for Anthem

Frequently asked questions in Anthem

How hard is the water in Anthem?

EPCOR, which runs the Anthem Water District, reports hardness of about 18 grains per gallon in its 2025 water quality report. The U.S. Geological Survey counts anything above about 10.5 grains per gallon as very hard. That’s why white scale builds up so quickly on Anthem faucets and shower glass.

Do I need a water softener in Anthem?

Not for safety: hard water isn’t a health problem. But at about 18 grains per gallon, a softener protects your water heater, fixtures and appliances from scale. If you only want better-tasting drinking water, a reverse osmosis system at the kitchen sink is the smaller step.

Why do water heaters wear out faster in Anthem?

Minerals in hard water settle at the bottom of the tank as sediment, which makes the heater work harder and can lead to rumbling, leaks and early failure. A yearly flush slows that down. If your heater is past 10 years old and leaking at the base, replacing it usually beats repairing it.

Do you work in both Anthem Parkside and Anthem Country Club?

Yes, on both sides of Anthem, including the gated neighborhoods. Give us the gate details when you book and we’ll text when we’re on the way.

Do you charge more to come to Anthem?
