High Iron in Kaukauna
Challenge
Years ago, this customer got a single large softener to treat the water in their home. However, this customer had high iron, which would occasionally break through and cause staining. The softener also regenerated nearly every other day and uses near 25 pounds of salt each time. This homeowner needed salt deliveries multiple times per year and needed a special rust reducing salt. After all this time it was working less and less, so they decided to call Clean Water Center and discuss replacement.
Solution
Instead of just a water softener, the suggestion was to treat the iron and the water hardness separately. This gives a more consistent treatment of the iron and makes the softener much more salt efficient, only using about a third of the old system. This should also make the softener age much slower so it will not have to be replaced as quickly. These systems, the EVR and EVBF, are also eligible for our optional maintenance plan, meaning they get annual preventative maintenance, annual salt delivery and a lifetime warranty of the system.
