Rare Breed Rheem water heater and Sentry II softener install in Utah

Every Drop, Redefined, From Tap to Tub

If your water tastes like chlorine, leaves stains, or smells off at every tap, a filter on one faucet will not fix it, because the water hits your whole house. Whole-home filtration treats the water where it enters, so every shower, sink, and appliance gets cleaner water. Depending on what your water actually has in it, that can mean carbon for chlorine and taste, sediment filtration for grit, or media for iron and odor. We test first and build the system around your results instead of selling a one-size box. On the Wasatch Front, hard water is common, so we will tell you if you need a softener too.

Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. Emergency service runs 24/7. We come inside a 3-hour appointment window.

Build My Whole-Home Water Plan

Water You Trust, Everywhere It Touches

A kitchen filter only helps one sink. But you and your family use water to bathe, breathe, clean, and live, in every room, every day. City water carries chlorine, VOCs, sediment, and more, and they don’t stop at the faucet.

Rare Breed Plumbing, Heating, and Air designs whole-home filtration systems engineered for Utah’s specific water chemistry. Whether it’s carbon, catalytic, KDF-enhanced, or hybrid media, we install silent, high-capacity systems that improve how your water tastes, smells, feels, and flows, everywhere it matters.

Every job is measured against our A STEPP standards, backed by a 3-hour appointment window and a 100% satisfaction guarantee. The office is open Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, and emergency service runs 24/7. Call (385) 449-0144 or book online.

Showers smell like a pool or feel harsh on your skin?

Showers smell like a pool or feel harsh on your skin?

Utah’s chlorinated water affects more than your senses, it strips skin oils, irritates eyes, and releases chemicals into the air. Our systems remove it before it enters your showerhead.

Noticing white dust on counters or dull laundry?

Noticing white dust on counters or dull laundry?

Sediment and chlorine reduce detergent performance and leave mineral residue behind. We clear out what your washer and lungs shouldn’t have to filter.

Still using pitchers, fridge filters, or bottled water?

Still using pitchers, fridge filters, or bottled water?

With a whole-home system, every tap becomes a source of clean water, no more plastic waste, refill routines, or filter guessing games.

Have kids with skin sensitivities or asthma?

Have kids with skin sensitivities or asthma?

Filtered water improves both skin comfort and indoor air, especially during humidifier use or bath time.

Protecting new appliances or a tankless system?

Protecting new appliances or a tankless system?

Contaminants shorten the life of washers, dishwashers, and heat exchangers. We install systems that preserve performance and minimize service calls.

Chandler provided a thorough plumbing inspection and provided options for better tasting coffee by installing a reverse osmosis system which we will strongly consider! Chandler was efficient, professional, knowledgeable and on time. We also highly recommend the membership option with this company so you can save 10%!

Shannon S.

My water heater had broken and Thomas was there within a day, and the water heater was replaced and running smoothly the following day. I was grateful for Thomas’ professionalism and knowledge on what was wrong. He explained it in a way that made it easy for me to understand. The parts and the labor were all set out for me to see what would need to be done and how much it would cost. I feel the price was quite reasonable. I know I have purchased a good product. I appreciated Thomas’ cheerfulness. I felt like I was in good hands. I will definitely have them come back for any water or plumbing needs. I have for my home.

Vikki M.

Such an amazing company!! Dom came and did my safety check and was so educational. Loved working with him! Dan L came out to do my sewer line inspection. Told me everything looked uneventful which in sewer line talk means it all looks great. Thank you for the peace of mind!!!!
