The customer recognized that her water softener was nearing the end of its lifespan and decided it was time to upgrade to a more efficient system. Our project coordinator assessed the situation and recommended not only replacing the water softener but also installing an iron filter. This addition will reduce the frequency of regeneration, leading to long-term savings on salt.

During the visit, our project coordinator also conducted a thorough inspection of the home and discovered iron bacteria in the back of several toilets, evident by a slimy unusual buildup. To address this issue, he suggested the installation of a hydrogen peroxide injection system which will effectively eliminate the bacteria and improve overall water quality.

The homeowner recently moved into their new property and noticed a metallic taste and odor in their water. While a professional-grade water softener is capable of handling up to 2 ppm of ferrous iron, this particular home had 0.5 ppm.  The source of the metallic taste and odor is often due to the limitations of box-store water softeners, which are not effective at removing iron. Installing an iron filter will significantly improve the water quality eliminating the undesirable taste and smell. For homeowners transitioning from city water to well water, even small amounts of iron can noticeably affect the taste and smell of the water.

Additionally, the homeowner requested a reverse osmosis (RO) system for drinking water. This system will provide purified water that's ideal for drinking, cooking, and washing vegetables--ensuring high-quality water for everyday use.

This homeowner was in the process of remodeling their kitchen and bathrooms and wanted to protect their investment by installing a water softener. Their previous softener was outdated and no longer effective as evidenced by significant iron staining, unpleasant odors, and calcium buildup on fixtures. After conducting a thorough water test, our project coordinator confirmed that a water softener was the right solution. However, it was also noted that the water had a sulfur smell, which indicated the need for an additional iron filter to address this issue.

Given the number of ongoing projects, the homeowner inquired about the possibility of installing the softener first and adding the iron filter at a later date. Our project coordinator assured them that this would be a viable option, providing flexibility to meet their needs.

Mr. and Mrs. A began noticing a difference in their water quality, and after our annual maintenance visit, we found that hard water was breaking through their older water softener. After discussing their different options, we found that the EVR was going to work best for them because of the salt efficiency that it would bring with their existing water conditions. Now they are as salt efficient as ever and their water is being softened. 

Mr. and Mrs. S had just moved into their new home and things seemed to have been in good shape in respect to the water, but as time went on they began to notice that there was a discoloration in their water. After testing their water, we found higher amounts of iron than a typical resin water softener can handle. Mr. and Mrs. S found that an EVFE iron filter and EVR water softener was their best option to take care of their conditions, and they now have clear, iron-free, soft water.
