A loop is the plumbing connection your home needs to install a water softener and whole house water filtration equipment cleanly and efficiently.
Whether you are preparing for a new system or upgrading an older home, AZ Water Solutions installs soft water loops designed specifically for Arizona plumbing standards and water hardness conditions.

A loop is a dedicated plumbing configuration installed at the main point of entry that directs incoming water through whole-home water treatment equipment—such as water softeners, filtration systems, or all-in-one treatment tanks—before the water is distributed throughout the home.
Once treated, water is returned to the home’s hot and cold supply lines to serve indoor fixtures such as bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms. Outdoor spigots, irrigation lines, and other high-flow uses are typically left on untreated water to conserve system capacity and avoid unnecessary treatment.
This configuration is especially common in Arizona homes due to high hardness levels and the need to balance system efficiency, performance, Arizona plumbing layouts, and long-term equipment longevity.
A loop installation allows your home to properly connect to a water filtration equipment—without disrupting plumbing, or causing long-term installation issues.
Arizona homes benefit from a loop because it:
Isolates hard unfiltered water before it enters your home
Connects cleanly to any future filtrations system
Protects inside plumbing from scale buildup
Increases efficiency of the softener you install later
You may benefit from a soft water loop if:
Your home was built without a dedicated loop
You plan to install water softening or filtration equipment now or in the future
You want to avoid invasive plumbing modifications later
You are remodeling or upgrading your water system
A loop installation:
Routes water through a dedicated plumbing line
Allows installation of any softener or filtration system
Prevents untreated contaminated and hard water from circulating inside the home
Provides a clean, accessible connection point
By ensuring all water is treated before it reaches faucets, showers, appliances, and fixtures, a soft water loop provides a cleaner, safer, and more efficient foundation for any whole-home water treatment system.
This setup allows for easier installation, cleaner system layouts, and better long-term performance—whether you install equipment today or years from now.
A properly installed loop enhances both comfort and efficiency while protecting your plumbing infrastructure.

A dedicated plumbing connection that allows a softener or filtration equipment to be installed cleanly and efficiently.
Homes without an existing loop will need one for proper equipment installation.
Most installations take 1–3 hours, depending on home layout.
Yes. Many homes are retrofitted with water loops to support new water treatment systems.
No. When properly designed and installed, a water loop maintains normal water pressure throughout the home. The loop simply directs treated water to specific fixtures and does not restrict flow when sized correctly.
Soft water loops are commonly installed in garages, utility rooms, or on exterior walls, depending on plumbing access and local code requirements.
