Living in the beautiful Matanuska Valley means having access to some of Alaska’s most breathtaking landscapes — but it also comes with unique challenges when it comes to water quality. Whether you're on a private well in Palmer, or connected to city water in Wasilla, a customized whole house water filtration system tailored to your home from HydroTactics ensures clean, fresh water flows from every faucet.

Step One: Stop Sediment in Its Tracks


In many parts of the Mat-Su Valley, sediment is a common issue. From glacial silt to rust particles and sand, these can enter your water supply — especially if you’re on a well. A sediment filter is your first line of defense. Installed at the point of entry, it traps grit, dirt, and debris before it has a chance to clog up plumbing, damage appliances, or cloud your drinking water.

Even homes connected to city water can have these issues. Older pipes and local water treatment inconsistencies can still allow particulate matter through. That’s why a high-capacity sediment filter is a must for protecting your home and keeping your water clean from the start.

​

Hard Water? Add a Softener


Many areas of the Mat-Su Valley — especially homes using well water — experience hard water, which means elevated levels of calcium and magnesium. Over time, this causes scale buildup in pipes and water heaters, reduces soap effectiveness, and can leave spots on dishes and fixtures.

By combining your sediment filter with a water softener, you’ll prevent hard water damage and enjoy water that’s softer on your skin, clothes, and plumbing system.

​

Treatment Tailored to Your Water


A true whole house water filtration system goes beyond basic sediment and hardness control. The next stage is a treatment system, customized to tackle the unique contaminants found in Mat-Su water. Whether you’re dealing with iron, sulfur, arsenic, heavy metals, tannins, or bacteria, this filtration step ensures your water is safe and healthy.


If you're noticing orange staining, metallic tastes, or that infamous “rotten egg” smell — a tailored treatment solution can make all the difference.

​

Finish Strong with a Post Filter


The final step is the post filter, typically a high-performance carbon filter. We offer a high flow radial carbon, carbon block filter or backwashing carbon filter. This "polishing" stage removes any lingering odors and bad tastes that can come from chlorine, organic materials, or natural sulfur compounds common in well water.


If you’ve ever taken a sip of tap water and wrinkled your nose at the taste, this filter is the fix. It leaves your water crisp, clean, and pleasant — whether you're filling a glass or taking a shower.​
