Expert Water Softeners for Twin Cities Homeowners

Water Softener Systems

Hard water in your home can cause a range of undesirable outcomes, from spots and pitting on your glassware in the dishwasher to overuse of soap for cleaning. Contact Northern Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® today for water softening solutions.

Serving Minneapolis & St. Paul, MN with Water Softener Solutions

In the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, hard water is a primary challenge when it comes to treatment and purification. Some municipalities in the Twin Cities region have particularly hard water, including Minnetonka, Rochester, Chaska, and Farmington. For this common issue, the first line of attack is typically a water softener system.

Northern Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® proudly represents and installs the Brita PRO home water softener system to address hard water, which can cause problems such as dry skin, dull hair, soap scum on dishes, and higher laundry detergent usage.

Often, this water softener system is installed as part of a comprehensive solution that can include other components tailored to your water’s impurity profile. Examples include carbon filtration to reduce chloramine and an iron filter to address iron and manganese.

Your home’s water test results guide us in the design and installation of your customized water treatment system. Contact us today to begin your journey toward a permanent water purity improvement for your home.

Call Northern at (763) 296-1844 for expert water softener installation and enjoy softer water at home.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have hard water? +
The everyday signs are spots and pitting on glassware coming out of the dishwasher, soap that will not lather properly, scale on fixtures, and using more detergent than seems reasonable. A test confirms it and tells us how hard.
How hard is water in the Twin Cities? +
Hard water is a primary treatment challenge across the Minneapolis and St. Paul area, and some communities run harder than others. Because it varies by municipality and by home, we test rather than assume.
What system do you install? +
We represent and install the Brita PRO home water softener line. Often it goes in as part of a wider solution, since a test frequently turns up more than one thing worth addressing.
Is a softener always the right answer? +
No. If the issue is iron, manganese or odour then a targeted filter is the fix rather than a softener. Your test results guide the design rather than the other way round.
