Local water profile, what it does to your home, and the systems that fix it. Crystal Flow H2O is the authorized TipaTech dealer for Sacramento and surrounding West Sacramento area.
Sacramento blends surface water (Sacramento and American Rivers) with groundwater, which means chlorine and disinfection byproduct (TTHM) levels swing seasonally. Water hardness runs moderate (60-120 ppm), but taste and odor are the most frequent complaints from residents.
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 Sacramento 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 City of Sacramento Department of Utilities delivers water from Sacramento River + American River blend, plus groundwater to a population of ~525,000. The biggest practical concern for homeowners and businesses is chlorine taste, disinfection byproducts, and seasonal variability.
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.
Crystal Flow H2O ships systems anywhere in the U.S. with free delivery, and our in-house team installs directly in Sacramento and the surrounding Northern California area (West Sacramento, Elk Grove, Citrus Heights, Carmichael). 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 Sacramento 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 Sacramento customers run both.
