Expert Hard Water for Twin Cities Homeowners
Hard Water
Most water supplies carry dissolved minerals, mainly calcium and magnesium. Hard water is a primary treatment challenge across the Minneapolis and St. Paul area, and it varies by municipality and by home.
A softener removes those minerals, protecting your plumbing and appliances and making soap behave. We test first so the system is sized to your numbers rather than an assumption.
Call (763) 296-1844 and get your water tested.
