Water Filter and Softening System Installation

Golden State Plumbing is a family owned company that has been serving the Grass Valley area for over 10 years. Our philosophy has always been to educate our customers on water quality and treatment options, first and foremost, then provide the most courteous and timely service in the industry!  We specialize in whole house water purification & water filtration systems.

Rid your water of hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium) plus filter out bad tastes and odors! Our unique two tank system keeps the two media beds separate, allowing for more carbon contact which greatly improves the removal of chlorine, chloramines and organic matter.

With our whole house filtration system, clean, filtered water emerges from every water source in the house. Chlorine and other chemicals (such as Radium, Barium, and Chloramine) are removed as soon as they enter a homes plumbing system and are no longer released into the air!

When chlorine and other chemicals are removed from water used for washing and bathing, these chemicals can no longer become embedded in clothing and it prevents chlorine vapors from being released into the air and inhaled in a hot shower.

Using a whole house water filter greatly enhances the overall healthfulness of drinking water and can alleviate the effects of asthma and allergies (for those who already suffer) by providing cleaner air to breathe in the house. Using a whole house water filter ensures protection from the carcinogenic effects of both drinking and inhaling chlorine and other dangerous chemicals

A whole house water filter is also the only truly effective shower filter. It filters water at low temperatures to facilitate the removal of harmful chemicals.

The use of a whole house water filter is the last means of protection from breakdowns in municipal water treatment and sanitation systems!

Because the carbon typically needs to be replaced before the softening resin, the two tank system allows for easy cost effective replacement. You get the same benefit as a separate water softener and whole-house carbon filter for a much lower price as the single control valve operates both systems.

Water Softeners & The Trouble With Hard Water

Hard water (calcium & magnesium) is a common problem for many homeowners and businesses. When hardness minerals are combined with heat it forms troublesome scale. Scale causes costly build-up in your plumbing, water heater and other water using appliances. When combined with soap, the minerals form a soap curd or scum that makes skin dry and itchy, hair lifeless, laundry dull, and causes an unattractive build-up on fixtures.

A home reverse osmosis (RO) water system is a filtration device designed to purify drinking water. It uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove contaminants, including dissolved solids, chemicals, and microorganisms, from water. The system typically consists of several stages, including pre-filters to remove larger particles, the RO membrane for fine filtration, and post-filters for taste enhancement.

Key benefits include improved water quality, better taste, and the removal of harmful substances, making it a popular choice for households seeking clean drinking water. However, it may also waste some water during the filtration process and require regular maintenance, such as changing filters.

Water conditions can vary greatly, even within the same community. Therefore, a reverse osmosis system can be configured to meet specific local conditions. Multiple interchangeable filters allow for a variety of treatment options that can be tailored to address water issues specifically, so that the water coming out of your tap is the best it can be!
