Where Chandler water comes from

Chandler treats Central Arizona Project and Salt River Project surface water alongside groundwater wells, and publishes the widest range in the valley: 5 to 20 grains per gallon, averaging 16.5. Which end of that you get depends on the blend serving your address, and west of Price Road is a different mix again.

Installing in Chandler homes

Chandler grew fastest through the 1990s and 2000s, so the majority of its homes were built after softener loops became standard practice — installations here are among the most straightforward we do. Sun Lakes, as an active adult community, brings its own pattern: smaller households, lower daily demand, and systems that should be sized for two people rather than a family of five.
