Local water profile, what it does to your home, and the systems that fix it. Crystal Flow H2O is the authorized TipaTech dealer for Elk Grove and surrounding Sacramento area.
Elk Grove draws much of its water from groundwater wells, and the EWG Tap Water Database (PWS CA3410008) reports detections of arsenic (2.44 ppb), hexavalent chromium (2.55 ppb), nitrate (1.23 ppm), HAA5 disinfection byproducts (6.16 ppb), and PFAS (PFHxS, PFPeA at low ppt levels) — all within current federal legal limits, but well above EWG’s peer-reviewed health guidelines. Hardness runs moderately hard (typically 150-220 ppm), so scale on water heaters and shower fixtures is also a daily reality.
Installed at your main water line. Electricity-free, NSF/ANSI tested, and engineered to help reduce up to ~99% of limescale formation.
(Performance varies by water hardness and operating conditions.)
Good for: every faucet, shower, water heater, dishwasher, and washer in the home — protecting them from the scale damage that Elk Grove water causes.
$2,500 · Free shippingInstalled under your kitchen sink. Targets chlorine taste, particulates, and improves drinking water at the tap. Patented "Define Yourself" mineral calibration lets you adjust TDS to your taste.
Good for: kitchen drinking water, ice, coffee, cooking, baby formula — when you want bottled-water-quality without the bottles.
$1,750 · Free shippingThe Elk Grove Water District (EGWD) and Sacramento County Water Agency delivers water from Groundwater (multiple deep wells) plus purchased Sacramento County water to a population of ~177,000. The biggest practical concern for homeowners and businesses is arsenic, chromium-6, and PFAS detected in groundwater per the EWG Tap Water Database.
The T-18 is designed to address scale at the whole-home level — meaning every appliance and fixture in the house benefits, not just one tap. For drinking water taste specifically, the LotusDY at the kitchen sink is the more targeted solution.

Customers outside NorCal get systems shipped free and we coordinate a vetted local plumber for them on request.
The T-18 installs inline on your main water supply line with standard 1" connections. Most Elk Grove homes are a clean fit; for non-standard installs our team will scope it on a quick call before you order.
If your priority is protecting appliances and fixtures from scale, the T-18 alone covers it. If you also want bottled-water-quality drinking water at your kitchen, add the LotusDY. Many Elk Grove customers run both.
