Big Apple Plumbing, a family-owned residential plumber serving the north Denver metro since 2014, has been named an official SpringWell installer with written approval from SpringWell. The company now installs SpringWell whole-house water filtration systems, water softeners, and combination systems for homeowners in Westminster, Broomfield, Thornton, Wheat Ridge, and nearby communities. The designation matters because SpringWell sells its systems online and ships them directly to homeowners, leaving buyers to either install the system themselves or find someone who will. As an official installer, Big Apple Plumbing gives Colorado SpringWell buyers a licensed local plumber who installs the system at the main water line and checks the work before leaving.
"A lot of homeowners order a system, then find out it has to be cut into the main line and they don't want to do it themselves," said Jason Wilkat of Big Apple Plumbing. "We size it to the house, install it, and stick around for questions after." That hands-on approach is central to the announcement's implications: it bridges the gap between an online purchase and a properly functioning whole-house system, reducing the risk of improper installation that could lead to leaks or poor performance.
In a recent Thornton installation, Big Apple Plumbing mounted a two-stage SpringWell system on a plywood backing against the foundation wall, plumbed it with 1-inch copper and flexible connectors, and added three ball valves so the system can be bypassed for maintenance. The crew pressurized the system and checked every connection for leaks before leaving. A SpringWell installation with Big Apple Plumbing includes checking water conditions and the home's water use to pick the right system size, installing the filter, softener, or combination system at the main water line, adding a bypass so water service is not interrupted during future maintenance, and testing for leaks and walking the homeowner through filter changes and settings.
Whole-house filtration and softening also help protect water heaters and fixtures from scale buildup, which ties into the water heater replacement and installation work Big Apple Plumbing already does across the north Denver metro. Wisetack financing is available for larger installations. Homeowners can learn more about the service at Big Apple Plumbing's SpringWell installation page.
The move is significant for the local plumbing market because it formalizes a relationship between a direct-to-consumer water treatment brand and a licensed plumbing contractor, giving homeowners a single point of accountability for both the equipment and the installation. For a region where water quality concerns and scale buildup are common, having a vetted installer who understands both the product and the home's plumbing can prevent costly problems. Big Apple Plumbing's family-owned background and established presence in Westminster, Broomfield, Thornton, and Wheat Ridge further position it as a trusted local resource.
