Espresso bars, restaurants, breweries, salons, and offices: what commercial reverse osmosis involves and what it costs, published as information. CreekWell works on homes.
Information only: CreekWell works on homes. Commercial work is not bookable: it needs a commercial water conditioning license, which CreekWell does not hold. For a home, see reverse osmosis.
Short answer: CreekWell does not price, install or service commercial systems; a contractor with a commercial water conditioning license (C-54 or CR-54) does. Commercial RO comes two ways: a point-of-use line (espresso, ice, a drinking tap; check the machine maker’s water specification first) or a high-capacity multi-fixture system with storage. CreekWell’s home prices are further down this page for comparison.
Prescott city water is moderately hard (4.3–7.6 gpg), well water in the county runs far higher, and total dissolved solids are high enough to affect taste, ice clarity, and equipment. Many commercial sites outside the city run on wells; the county wells Neil tests commonly come in at 22–32+ gpg, hard enough that scale builds up in water-using equipment. It shows up three ways:
City hardness: the City of Prescott water quality report. The well figure is what Neil typically measures on county private wells, not a published survey — your own well can be higher or lower.

The Kitten: a Charger HydroSplash with a 75 GPD membrane and its own holding tank. One espresso machine, ice machine or drinking tap. Charger’s documents describe it for household drinking water, so check your machine maker’s water spec first.

Not offeredBy CreekWellHigh-capacity RO with storage and repressurization — the Lion Package: about 2,000 gallons a day, a storage tank and a delivery pump (spec sheet).
The Lion Package$14,999.99For comparison: CreekWell’s home pricePre-treatment (softening or carbon ahead of the membrane) is often the difference between a membrane that lasts years and one that fouls in months on Prescott water — it’s part of the design, and the water test tells whether you need it.
If your business runs on water — coffee, ice, brewing, rinsing, sterilizing — Prescott’s hard, high-TDS supply is a slow tax on your equipment and your product. A properly designed RO system, sized from a lab test of your actual feed water, pays for itself in equipment life and consistency. Start with the test; the design follows from the numbers.

CreekWell does not price commercial systems: it works on homes.
For comparison, its home prices are $829 installed for an under-sink system, $999 with remineralization, and $14,999.99 for the Lion whole-home system. A business needs a contractor with a commercial water conditioning license (C-54 or CR-54).
Any business where water touches the product or a heating element.
Coffee shops and espresso bars (boiler scale and shot consistency), restaurants (ice clarity, steamers, taste), breweries (consistent brewing water chemistry), salons, medical and dental offices (equipment feed water), and offices wanting bottle-free drinking water. Prescott’s hardness — 4.3–7.6 grains per gallon on city water, 22–32+ on the county wells Neil tests — and high TDS make untreated feed water expensive for water-using equipment.
Scale.
Prescott city water tests 4.3–7.6 grains per gallon — moderately hard, by the city’s own report — and county wells run far higher.
Scale forms on heating elements and boilers, insulating them and forcing early failures, and high total dissolved solids affect coffee extraction and ice clarity. Equipment manufacturers commonly specify treated feed water; scale-related failures may not be covered under warranty.
No: CreekWell works on homes, and commercial work needs a commercial water conditioning license (C-54 or CR-54), which CreekWell does not hold.
For a home, see the reverse osmosis page; for a business, a contractor who holds a commercial water conditioning license. Call 928-228-5770 with any question about a home system.
