What’s actually in Tijeras water

Tijeras homes are on Small systems and private wells, which draws from East Mountains groundwater. East Mountains water is mostly wells drawing through limestone, which is a harder and more variable proposition than the city supply.

Whether that is enough mineral to be worth treating is a question about your house rather than about the city. The way you find out is the way you always could: test what comes out of your own tap.

You see it as spots on glassware, a white crust around faucet aerators, film on the shower door, soap that won’t lather properly, and skin that feels tight after a shower. What you don’t see is the same mineral coating the inside of your water heater, where it insulates the element and makes the heater burn more energy for less hot water.

The only way to know your number

City-wide averages tell you very little about your particular house — the age of your plumbing, your water heater and where you sit on the distribution network all matter. We look at your own supply and show you the result while we’re standing there.

“Anton arrived on time. We tested the water which was a little hard. We discussed the location of the equipment and the final out the door price. I made a deposit and the plumber came 10 days later. It went smooth. I was shown the maintenance needed , and have noticed the the difference in the softness of the water.”

“We recently had a water softener and whole-home filtration system installed by New Mexico Water Solutions, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the initial consultation to the installation, Anton and Justin were professional, knowledgeable, and truly cared about making sure everything was done right. Their customer service was exceptional, they took the time to answer all of our questions and made the entire process seamless. The difference in our water has been incredible. My skin feels noticeably softer, my hair is smoother and shinier, and even my nails feel healthier. I honestly didn’t realize how much of an impact better water could make until now. If you’re considering a water softener or filtration system, I highly recommend New Mexico Water Solutions. Excellent products, outstanding service, and a company that genuinely cares about its customers. Five stars!”

Questions

Tijeras water questions

Call us if yours isn’t here — a real person answers.

Where does Tijeras's water come from?

Tijeras is supplied by Small systems and private wells, drawing from East Mountains groundwater. That source is what determines how hard the water is and what else is in it — which is why we test at your sink rather than guessing from the city average.

Do I need a water softener in Tijeras?

Most Tijeras homes benefit from one, but "most" isn't "all" and we won't pretend otherwise. The honest answer comes from testing your water. If it comes back soft enough that a system wouldn't pay for itself, we'll tell you that.

How much does a water softener cost in Tijeras?

It depends on your water hardness, the size of your home and where the equipment can go — so we do not publish one figure we would then have to walk back. What we will say is that we sell the same class of equipment the national brands do for roughly half what they charge, and the in-home visit turns that into an exact number for your house before you decide anything.

How long does installation take in Tijeras?

A whole-home system is usually a half day. An under-sink reverse osmosis system is around two hours. We clean up before we leave, and the price you agreed is the price at the end.
