Water softeners in Gilbert, Arizona

Gilbert has the softest published water in the valley, and it is the one place we regularly talk people down rather than up. Anyone quoting a Gilbert address off a valley-wide assumption of 18-grain water has not looked up the town’s own figure — and is sizing you for water you do not have.

Provider guidance: Gilbert advises setting a softener to 10–12 grains per gallon to allow for seasonal variation.

This is Town of Gilbert’s own published figure, and it covers a whole system. Blending, season and your own plumbing all move it, so the number we size from is the one measured at your tap.

Where Gilbert water comes from

Gilbert blends Central Arizona Project and Salt River Project surface water with groundwater, and publishes an average of 8 to 10 grains per gallon — the softest figure of any major provider in the valley, and low enough to sit in the “hard” band rather than “very hard”. The town suggests setting a softener to 10 to 12 grains to allow for seasonal variation.

Installing in Gilbert homes

Almost all of Gilbert was built after 1990, which makes it the easiest town in the valley to install in — softener loops are close to universal, garages are laid out for it, and a straightforward job really is straightforward. Larger family homes in Seville and Power Ranch push daily demand high enough that sizing, not access, becomes the deciding factor.
