About us
ClearGen Water tests and installs across Colorado's Front Range. We measure instead of demonstrating, we guarantee a number rather than a tank, and we tell people when the answer is that they don't need us.
Why we exist
Ask around about water treatment in Colorado and you'll hear the same three stories: a free in-home test that turned into a two-hour presentation, a demonstration staged to produce a reaction rather than a reading, and a guarantee that turned out to cover the equipment rather than the water.
In June 2025, Colorado Springs Utilities publicly warned residents that "Annual Water Test Notice" mailers landing in their letterboxes were likely a deceptive tactic by companies trying to sell expensive, unnecessary water filtration systems. When the utility has to warn people about your industry, something has gone wrong with it.
So we built the company around the three things that were missing.
How we're different
Not values on a wall. Things you can check for yourself, before you ever speak to us.
We don't sell softeners on Boulder, Longmont or Fort Collins city water, because those cities publish soft water and the hardness number wouldn't change. A company that never says no isn't diagnosing anything.
What your city publishesTitration for hardness, a DPD photometer for total chlorine, a calibrated meter for TDS, and a certified laboratory for anything health-related. You keep the written readings whether or not you buy anything.
Our processThe number the system has to hit goes in writing before we install: under 1 grain per gallon, under 0.1 ppm, 85% TDS reduction. Miss it and you get your money back. That is a different promise from a warranty on a fibreglass tank.
The guaranteeA shorter list than the marketing one, and more useful.
Denver, Aurora, Thornton, Westminster, Arvada, Broomfield, Lakewood, Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Centennial, Parker, Castle Rock, Brighton, Longmont, Boulder, Loveland, Fort Collins and Greeley, plus the surrounding Front Range. Hardness and disinfectant vary enormously across that corridor, which is why the honest recommendation genuinely changes with your ZIP code.See every area and what each utility publishes.
Installations are carried out by a licensed plumber, and where a city requires a permit for the work, one gets pulled. We install on open-platform metered control valves rather than proprietary ones, so the wear parts are standard and any competent plumber can service your system in year eight — including if that plumber isn't us.
Judge for yourself
We wrote a buyer's checklist that works on every company in this market, including us. Our answers to all twelve are in it, in plain sight.
