This customer had an older iron filter, which was causing significant iron breakthrough. Although the filter had already been rebedded, the age of the softener was also a concern as they were experiencing occasional hard water breakthrough. One of our project coordinators confirmed that upgrading both units would be a good solution.
The customer decided to go with the EVR, our most advanced softening system, and the EVFE iron filter to handle the high iron content in their water. The addition of the iron filter not only addressed the iron issue but also helped extend the lifespan of the softener. It was a smart investment for this homeowner.
In Wild Rose, a lakefront cabin owner was dealing with hard water and iron issues that were affecting water quality, fixtures, and overall comfort in the home. We installed a high-efficiency water conditioner designed to handle both hardness and iron, along with a scheduled maintenance plan to ensure long-term performance. The system also includes a vacation mode setting for periods when the cabin is not in use, helping conserve water and maintain system efficiency while the property is unoccupied.
The customer had recently moved into a new home and, shortly after settling in, they noticed the water quality was poor with a noticeable hardness. Despite attempting to adjust the old system the homeowner found that none of the controls were functioning properly. Rather than investing in repairs for an outdated unit that could potentially incur significant costs the homeowner reached out to Clean Water for assistance.
After one of our project coordinators conducted a thorough water test, it was confirmed that the existing system was no longer operational. Based on the findings, several softener upgrade options were recommended. Given the homeowner’s other ongoing projects, the ES model was identified as the most suitable solution for their needs making it an excellent choice for their situation.
Challenge:
In Waupaca, the homeowner was struggling with very hard water, and their older softening system was no longer performing effectively. As the unit aged, it failed to keep up with demand, leading to scale buildup, reduced efficiency, and ongoing water quality concerns.
Solution:
We installed a modern, high-efficiency water softener built to handle tougher water conditions. The new system restored consistent soft water throughout the home, improving performance, protecting plumbing and appliances, and delivering a noticeable upgrade in overall water quality.
This homeowner was experiencing issues with high iron levels in their water which resulted in staining and a metallic taste to the water. Before consulting with the project coordinator, they had been using a blue inline filter that removed some of the iron along with a water softener that addressed minor iron content. However, after testing the water, the project coordinator determined that the inline filter and softener were insufficient for addressing their high iron levels. To effectively resolve the staining issue and metallic taste the project coordinator recommended the installation of an iron filter prior to the water softener.
