Clive homeowners can improve water in different ways: less mineral spotting on fixtures, easier soap use, better-tasting water throughout the home or a dedicated drinking-water faucet. Kind Water Co matches the treatment stage to the result you want and the hardness, iron, TDS and a nitrate screening reading measured at your own tap.
| Clive at a glance | What the record shows |
|---|---|
| Who supplies the water | The Clive Water Department distributes purchased Central Iowa Water Works water. Clive distribution results appear in the regional annual water-quality report. |
| Where it comes from | Regional treated water supplied through Central Iowa Water Works. The city’s distribution results and your tap screening provide different, useful parts of the picture. |
| Taste and odor treatment | Carbon filtration targets chlorine taste and odor. Choose a whole-home tank when the goal includes showers and taps beyond the kitchen sink. |
| Softened at the plant | The regional plants treat and soften water before delivery. We size and program a home softener from the remaining hardness at your address and your household demand. |
| Your hardness reading | A free in-home screening measures hardness, iron and total dissolved solids. We use the measured hardness and water use to recommend equipment. |
A disinfectant residual helps protect treated water as it travels through the distribution system. If chlorine taste or odor is what bothers you at home, carbon filtration targets that goal. We discuss whether a whole-home carbon tank or a drinking-water system best fits where you want the improvement.
A whole-home carbon tank treats the main water line, so the benefit reaches the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry. Under-sink reverse osmosis adds a separate drinking-water treatment stage at a dedicated faucet. We explain the installation, flow requirements and filter upkeep for either option before you choose.
Carbon filtration is designed for chlorine taste and odor. A softener addresses calcium and magnesium that cause mineral scale and spotting. Because those are different jobs, our whole-home package combines softening and carbon; a carbon-only tank is also available when filtration is your goal.
Tell us whether the problem is white buildup, spotty dishes, soap use, shower odor or drinking-water taste. We measure hardness, iron, TDS and a nitrate screening reading and review existing equipment. The recommendation can be a new system, a targeted filtration stage or a repair that restores the equipment you already have.
A hardness reading at your own tap helps us size and program a softener for your household. We also review water pressure, bathrooms used at once and the equipment’s flow requirements. The City of Clive notes that household pressure varies with elevation and can exceed 85 psi in some locations, making a review of your own supply conditions useful before installation.
The free screening takes about 10 minutes and measures hardness, iron, TDS and a nitrate screening reading. We explain the readings and leave you with a recommendation and written quote. If nitrate or another specific contaminant is a concern, we start with a certified lab test and plan treatment from the result.

Clive distributes water purchased through Central Iowa Water Works. The regional annual report includes Clive’s distribution results. We review that supply context and measure your tap water before recommending home treatment.
We measure hardness at your own tap during the free screening. Regional treatment information gives useful background, and your reading is what lets us size and program a softener for your household. If spots, scale or soap use are the concern, we explain how reducing the measured hardness can help.
Treated water carries a disinfectant residual through distribution, which some households notice as chlorine taste or odor. Carbon filtration targets that concern; a softener addresses hardness minerals. We can combine those treatment stages or quote filtration on its own.
Yes. We diagnose supported equipment, including systems installed by another company. Share the model, a photo and the symptom when booking so we can review the service and parts options. The published service prices distinguish a full diagnostic visit from a trip for an already-identified fault.
