Living in the heart of Tempe means enjoying the vibrant energy of University Park, the quiet streets of Broadway Park, and the beautiful community of Meyer Park. But if you’ve lived in the 85281 or 85282 ZIP codes for any length of time, you already know one thing: the tap water leaves much to be desired. Whether you are dealing with the notorious Arizona “hard water” or that lingering scent of chlorine, your home’s water quality shouldn’t be a source of stress.
At Bucksworth Home Services, we believe every Tempe family deserves access to crystal-clear, refreshing, and safe water straight from the kitchen tap. You are the hero of your home, and your mission is to provide the best for your family. Our job is to be your guide, providing the expert plumbing solutions you need to turn your tap into a pure mountain spring.
The Problem: Why Tempe Tap Water Is Tough on Your Home
If you’ve noticed a white, crusty buildup on your faucets or found that your coffee tastes a little “off,” you’re experiencing the reality of Arizona municipal water. In neighborhoods like Meyer Park, the water often travels through miles of piping and undergoes heavy treatment to ensure it is “safe” by city standards. However, “safe” doesn’t always mean “good.”
Tempe water often contains high levels of:
- Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): These are the minerals and salts that make your water taste metallic or salty.
- Chlorine and Chloramines: Used for disinfection, these chemicals can leave your water smelling like a swimming pool and drying out your skin.
- Hardness Minerals: Calcium and magnesium lead to scale buildup in your plumbing fixtures and appliances.
Relying on expensive, plastic-heavy bottled water isn’t a long-term solution. It’s a chore to lug those heavy cases from the store, and it’s a burden on the environment. You deserve a better way to hydrate.

The Solution: Reverse Osmosis Systems for Meyer Park Families
The most effective way to reclaim your water quality is through a high-quality Reverse Osmosis (RO) system. Unlike basic pitcher filters that only catch large particles, an RO system uses a semi-permeable membrane to strip away up to 99% of contaminants.
When you install a Reverse Osmosis system in your Tempe home, you are choosing a powerhouse of filtration. These systems typically involve multiple stages:
- Sediment Filter: Removes dirt, rust, and silt.
- Carbon Filter: Eliminates chlorine, bad tastes, and odors.
- RO Membrane: The heart of the system that rejects dissolved solids, heavy metals, and microscopic impurities.
- Polishing Filter: A final pass through carbon to ensure the water tastes incredibly crisp.
Bucksworth Home Services specializes in installing these systems specifically for the unique water profile of the East Valley. We understand the mineral content in the 85282 area and know exactly how to calibrate your system for maximum efficiency.
Why Bucksworth Home Services Is the Right Choice for Tempe
Choosing a plumbing partner is about trust. You want someone who knows the streets of University Park and Broadway Park as well as you do. Bucksworth Home Services was founded in 2013 by Arizona natives Jordan and Taylor Moore. We aren’t a national conglomerate; we are a family-owned business that treats your home like our own.
We have earned over 2,000 5-star reviews because we prioritize honesty and quality. When it comes to plumbing and water filtration, we don’t believe in “one size fits all” solutions. We assess your specific needs and provide a clear, fair estimate without the high-pressure sales tactics you might find elsewhere.
The Bucksworth Membership: Peace of Mind for $9.99/Month
We believe that keeping your home running smoothly shouldn’t be a financial burden. That’s why we offer our exclusive plumbing membership starting at $9.99 per month. This isn’t just a fee; it’s an investment in your home’s longevity.
Our plumbing membership includes:
- No trip charges during breakdowns.
- Front-of-the-line service for your family.

Frequently Asked Questions for Tempe Homeowners
Does a Reverse Osmosis system remove fluoride?
Yes! A high-quality RO system installed by Bucksworth is incredibly effective at removing fluoride, which is a common concern for many families in the 85281 and 85282 areas.
How often do I need to change my RO filters?
Generally, we recommend changing your sediment and carbon filters every 6 to 12 months, depending on your usage. The RO membrane itself can last 2 to 3 years. Our membership program makes it easy to stay on top of these schedule requirements.
Is the water wasted by an RO system significant?
Modern RO systems are much more efficient than the older models of the past. While there is some “brine” water produced during the filtration process, it is a small price to pay for the high level of purity you receive. We can show you high-efficiency models that minimize waste.
Can an RO system be connected to my refrigerator’s ice maker?
Absolutely! This is one of our most popular requests in neighborhoods like Broadway Park. We can run a dedicated line from your RO system to your fridge so your ice and water dispenser both provide purified water. No more cloudy ice cubes!
