Water Softener Installation Littleton, CO
Littleton gets its water from the same place as Denver, which is largely comprised of snowmelt from the Rockies. This water inevitably picks up sediment, which includes hard minerals like calcium and magnesium. These minerals are not removed at municipal treatment facilities, which means many homes in the area experience the consequences of hard water. Signs include:
- Hard water scale on fixtures and inside water heaters
- Dry skin, brittle hair, and soap that won’t lather
- Unpleasant chlorine taste or odor in drinking water
- Dingy laundry and spotty dishes
- Sediment and minerals that standard filters miss
Fortunately, the solution is simple: a water softener! Regain your sanity and quality of life with one of our top-of-the-line systems at the most competitive price in the state. We are not here to gouge customers–we truly just want everyone to have access to high quality water.
Call today and discuss our options for softening your home’s water and start noticing the difference!
Water Filtration Installation Littleton, CO
Municipal treatment leaves behind trace amounts of contaminants that are known health hazards, and is not effective at removing microplastics or forever chemicals. This is why every home needs at least an under the sink water filter with reverse osmosis technology.
This simple system is extremely effective, removing 99 percent of:
- Chlorine and chemical tastes
- Lead, arsenic, and other heavy metals
- Sediment and particulates
- Nitrates and other dissolved solids
- Forever chemicals
- Pharmaceuticals
- Microplastics
We will install your reverse osmosis filtration unit under the kitchen sink, where it will be dispensed from a dedicated tap.
Whole Home Water Filtration Installation In Littleton
If you truly want your home to be protected, ask about our point-of-entry reverse osmosis systems. Unfortunately, many contaminants, like microplastics, forever chemicals, and heavy metals, can be absorbed through the skin. Chlorine, which is commonly used to treat water, can also be inhaled through steam in the shower. A whole home reverse osmosis system will ensure you have clean water for bathing, brushing teeth, washing your hands, and more.

By The Numbers: Top Littleton Water Contaminants (2025)
Uranium ug/L
Chlorine PPM
Nitrates PPM
THMs PPB
What Is Uranium?
Uranium is a naturally occurring radioactive element found in rocks, soil, and water. It is a heavy metal used primarily as fuel in nuclear power plants due to its ability to undergo fission (splitting of atoms to release energy). In the environment, uranium typically exists in the form of uranium oxide or as dissolved ions in groundwater.
How Does Uranium Get Into Drinking Water?
Uranium finds its way into ground water primarily through natural leaching/erosion of rocks, soil, and mineral, where it occurs naturally. However, it is also a by-product of mining and industrial activities.
Is Uranium In Water Bad For You?
Yes, uranium is toxic to the kidneys. Long-term exposure, even at low levels, can cause kidney damage due to its heavy metal properties. It is also radioactive, so prolonged exposure increases the risk of developing certain types of cancers.
Chlorine In Water
Chlorine is used to disinfect water and trace amounts are intentionally left behind so water is resistant to bacteria and other pathogens as it travel through pipes. However, it is not without potential risks, including:
- Taste and Smell: Even at safe levels, chlorine can give water a noticeable taste or odor.
- Irritation: Sensitive individuals may experience eye, nose, or skin irritation when exposed to chlorinated water (especially during bathing or swimming).
- Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs): When chlorine reacts with organic matter in water (like leaves, soil, or decaying plant material), it can form byproducts such as trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs). Long-term exposure to high levels of these DBPs has been linked to an increased risk of bladder and colorectal cancers. High levels of THMs were allso found in Littleton’s water (see fourth tab).
- Possible Respiratory Issues: Some studies suggest a connection between chlorine byproducts and asthma or respiratory irritation, especially in children.
What Are Nitrates?
Nitrates are actually made up of a salt group (potassium or magnesium) and attached to a nitrate group. They have historically been used for agricultural purposes as well as explosives. Their high solubility in water makes them particularly hazardous to aquatic life and habitats.
Dangers of Nitrate as a Denver Water Contaminant
Nitrate is found naturally in many plant sources, like spinach and arugula. At these levels, it does not generally cause problems. At higher levels, however, nitrates can wreak havoc on aquatic systems. Nitrates from fertilizer runoff, for example, can lead to algae blooms that suffocate fish and other animals.
Emerging research suggests nitrates can also cause adverse health effects in humans. Symptoms of prolonged exposure to nitrates include oxygen malabsorption, muscle cramping, nausea, and vomiting.
Trihalomethanes (THMs) are a group of chemical compounds that form as byproducts when chlorine or other disinfectants react with natural organic matter (like decaying vegetation) in water. They are part of a broader class of compounds called disinfection byproducts (DBPs).
The most common THMs include:
- Chloroform
- Bromodichloromethane
- Dibromochloromethane
- Bromoform
THMs And Public Health
Long-term consumption of water with elevated THMs has been linked to an increased risk of bladder and colon cancer.
Some THMs (like chloroform) can affect the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system with prolonged exposure.
Some studies have suggested a potential link between high THM exposure and adverse pregnancy outcomes, though research is still underway regarding this particular concern.
Uranium
Uranium is a naturally occurring element that gets into water primarily from erosion and natural leaching from rock and soil. It is, however, mildly radioactive and, therefore, poses a cancer risk with prolonged exposure. Again, Denver’s levels are within the limits set by the EPA, but these standards are decades old, and even trace amounts can be hazardous in sensitive individuals.
Chlorine
Chlorine In Water
Chlorine is used to disinfect water and trace amounts are intentionally left behind so water is resistant to bacteria and other pathogens as it travel through pipes. However, it is not without potential risks, including:
- Taste and Smell: Even at safe levels, chlorine can give water a noticeable taste or odor.

- Possible Respiratory Issues: Some studies suggest a connection between chlorine byproducts and asthma or respiratory irritation, especially in children.
Nitrates
Nitrates are hazardous chemicals that come predominantly from agricultural runoff. There is plenty of evidence that shows nitrates wreak havoc on aquatic ecosystems, and growing evidence supports risks to human health as well.

PFAS In Littleton Water
The purple indicates areas where fire training occurs in Colorado. These first responders are every day heroes who put themselves in danger to save others, and training is essential. However, the materials used as flame retardants are known sources of PFAs, aka “forever chemicals,” in drinking water.
The main reason is the use of aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF), which have historically been widely used in firefighter training exercises, especially at airports, military bases, and fire academies. AFFF contains per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) because of their ability to rapidly spread across flammable liquid surfaces and suppress fuel fires.
During repeated training exercises, large amounts of foam are discharged directly onto the ground. PFAS molecules are very mobile in soil and do not break down easily, so they migrate downward into groundwater over time.
Cleanup efforts are ongoing, but remediation is complex and costly because PFAS are highly stable and widespread once released.
Contamination is so problematic that an advisory was issued this past summer regarding high levels detected in fish at Chatfield Reservoir.
The only way to successfully remove PFAs from drinking water is via a reverse osmosis system. Don’t wait–call today to protect yourself and your family!
