As the air cools and the leaves start to turn, it’s not just the season changing—it’s also one of the busiest times of the year for us at Aqua Serve. Fall is a critical time for many homeowners in Colorado to prepare their homes for winter, and ensuring their water filtration and softening systems are in top shape is an essential part of that process. Whether it’s a new installation or upgrading an existing system, our team is working hard to make sure every installation is completed with precision and care.

In this blog, we’ll take you behind the scenes to show you what goes into our fall water system installations. From the initial free water evaluation to the plumbing audit and the final steps, here’s how we make sure your home is ready for the winter months ahead.

Step 1: The Free Water Evaluation

At Aqua Serve, we know that every home is unique, and so is its water. That’s why we start with a comprehensive, free water evaluation for every new installation. This step is crucial for determining exactly what type of water filtration or softening system your home needs. Colorado’s water supply can vary significantly depending on the area, so it’s important to test for a variety of common contaminants, including:

  • Hard water (high mineral content like calcium and magnesium)
  • Chlorine and chloramines (commonly used in municipal water systems)
  • Heavy metals like lead and copper
  • Sediment and particulate matter

Our water specialists will collect samples from multiple points in your home and perform a series of tests to assess water quality. This evaluation allows us to customize a solution tailored to your water’s specific needs, ensuring optimal filtration and softening performance.

Step 2: The Plumbing Audit

Once we’ve analyzed your water and discussed your needs, the next step is a detailed plumbing audit. Why do we do this? Because a properly functioning water filtration or softening system is only as good as the plumbing that supports it. A comprehensive audit helps us pinpoint any potential issues that could affect installation or performance down the line.

During this audit, our technicians will:

  • Check the condition of existing plumbing lines.
  • Ensure the water pressure is at optimal levels for the system.
  • Identify any leaks or corrosion that need to be addressed before installation.
  • Verify the appropriate locations for installing your system.

This step is especially important during the fall, as we make sure your system will be ready to handle the increased water usage that often comes with winter (think hot showers and holiday gatherings). We want to make sure your plumbing is in top condition so your new system works flawlessly from day one.

Step 3: System Selection and Customization

With a clear understanding of your water quality and plumbing setup, it’s time to choose the right system for your home. Aqua Serve offers a variety of high-quality water filtration and softening products, and we work with you to determine the best option for your family’s needs.

For example, if your water test reveals high levels of hard minerals, you might benefit from a whole-house water softener. If chlorine or sediment are the main issues, a comprehensive filtration system may be the solution. We also offer under-the-counter units for targeted filtration at specific sinks, perfect for drinking and cooking water.

Our team ensures that the system is tailored to your home’s water profile, so you can enjoy clean, healthy water year-round.

Step 4: Installation Day

Once everything is prepped, it’s time for the installation. Our technicians arrive fully equipped with all the tools and materials needed for a seamless process. Here’s what you can expect:

  • The system will be installed according to manufacturer guidelines and customized to fit your home’s plumbing.
  • We will test the system after installation to ensure it’s working correctly and that the water quality meets our high standards.
  • Our technicians will walk you through how the system works, including any maintenance tasks you should be aware of, such as replacing filters or adding salt to your softener.

We know that downtime can be disruptive, especially during a busy season, so we aim to make the installation process as smooth as possible. Most installations are completed within a day.

Step 5: Winterizing Your System

After installation, we provide tips on how to keep your system running smoothly through the winter months. This includes winterizing your water softener if you’re using a seasonal property, or simply preparing your system for colder temperatures to avoid any freezing issues.
