Hard water buildup can ruin your plumbing, shorten appliance life, and leave spots on everything. Calgary’s water is loaded with minerals — and it’s also treated with chlorine and fluoride. We help you fix that.
At Sterling, we install, repair, and service a wide range of water softeners and filtration systems — from traditional salt-based models to citrus-based, salt-free setups. Whether you want cleaner dishes, better showers, or longer-lasting pipes, we’ll size the right system and install it the right way.
