Water Conditioning FAQs for West Bend, WI

Answers to common questions about water softeners, purification and other water conditioning equipment for homes in West Bend and rural Washington County.

See All FAQs

How does a water softener work?

A water softener uses a process called ion exchange. Hard water passes through a tank of resin beads that hold onto calcium and magnesium and release sodium or potassium in their place. Over time the beads fill up, so the softener regenerates by rinsing them with salt water from its brine tank and flushing the minerals down the drain. Our water conditioning work for homes and businesses uses Jaws equipment.

Why would a home need an arsenic removal unit?

Arsenic occurs naturally in the bedrock under parts of Wisconsin and can dissolve into groundwater, so it is mainly a concern for homes on private wells. It has no taste, smell or color, which means a home can have it without anyone noticing. When arsenic is present, a dedicated arsenic unit is designed to reduce it in the water your household drinks and cooks with.

What is the difference between a water softener and a water purification system?

A water softener targets hardness minerals that cause scale on fixtures and inside appliances. A water purification system is designed to reduce other things in the water that affect taste, odor or safety, often at a single kitchen faucet used for drinking and cooking. Many homes benefit from both, with a softener treating all the water and a purification system handling the drinking water.

How much maintenance does a water softener need?

Most of it is simple. Check the salt level in the brine tank every month or so and refill it before it runs low. Now and then, look for a salt bridge, a hard crust that forms above the water and keeps the salt from dissolving, and break it up gently. Homes with iron in their water may also need a resin cleaner from time to time to keep the softener working well.

Can water conditioning help my water heater and fixtures last longer?

It can help. Hard water leaves scale inside water heaters, on faucet aerators and showerheads, and in dishwashers and washing machines, which makes them work harder over time. Softened water greatly reduces that buildup. If you are already replacing a unit, our water heater installation and repair service pairs well with a softener to protect the new tank from the start.

    I built a new home and Wilkes was great from start to finish. Caroline in the office was always helpful when I had questions. Jerry went above and beyond in not only taking care of the plumbing, but also to coordinate with other contractors to make sure all of the small details were handled correctly by all. I would highly recommend. Thanks for a great experience!

    Very friendly staff, very professional. For some reason I trusted them right after my initial phone call regarding my issues at my house, Robert showed up when me and my wife were at work I opened up my garage door and he did his thing and closed my garage when he was finished. Would highly reccomend them to anyone and definitely use them again in the future for my household needs!

    What a fantastic company! Not only did they come out and fix our sink drain and install a water heater in a timely fashion, they just went above and beyond to help us out! We just recently moved to a new house and they were more than understanding with our needs both financially and for the house. I recommend Rob highly for any plumbing needs! Thank you again for everything

    Wilkes did a great job and coordinated with the biz doing our new flooring (Ideal Custom Flooring). We had 2 plumbers out that were friendly, efficient and patient with working around all of us being in the house as well. Highly recommend but they are a very busy shop so your best bet is scheduling well in advance of your plumbing needs, excluding emergencies.
