Your one stop water treatment company. Residential and Commercial Water purification. We are trained to service almost all water softeners. Only authorized Kinetico dealer in the Peoria and Central Illinois area. Kinetico is the only water softener that does not require electricity to operate. One of the best water softeners on the market today, if not the best. Additional DBA - Superior Water Systems.
"Purchased softener for $2,600 a little over 2 years ago. We now have terrible water pressure and was told the softener was shot. Two different reps from Superior Water Systems both told me that I was sold the wrong unit, and re-told me multiple times. The rep that sold me the unit had gotten fired, and that this unit was not the correct one for my home and location. They then offered a "discount", that meant I would either pay them $190 to fix the current one so it could happen again in 2 years, $1500 for something a little better, or $3000 if I didn't want the problem to happen again. After reminding them this wasn't my fault as they sold me the wrong unit, I was told that it was my fault for being the one who chose to put it in. If you're looking for an overpriced water softener that will only last a few years and then be told its your fault, superior water systems will do a phenomenal job."

If you are in the market for high-quality cabinets, you can rely on KD Kitchen, Baths & More to provide them. We are locally owned & operated in Williamsville, IL, though we are able to offer our services all throughout Illinois.
"OH MY GOD! This company is beyond amazing. We were in the market to get our cabinets refaced and let me tell you, this company blew us out of the water on so many levels! For starters, we looked at a couple big box retailers and their prices were extremely high so when we met with the owner Dennis, we were skeptical. Once he gave us the price, I felt like it was too good to be true. His price was 40% cheaper than the big box stores and this was getting everything we wanted from Dennis. Dennis was one of the most professional people I have ever had the pleasure with dealing with. He was always on time, extremely professional and honesty. The person who worked on out cabinets was Joe. Let me tell you, this man is an artist! His attention to detail on the cabinets was amazing. I feel like they have revived our kitchen and our house. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting to do a cabinet refacing! Thank you again!!"

"Had a clogged drain and two young guys came out. They said they couldn't do anything and that I should hook a shop vac up to the drain. They were at my house for maybe 10-15 minutes and charged $90. They clearly just didn't want to do the work because I had another plumber come out who took off the toilet and snaked out the pipe. I was not impressed with them and would not recommend them."

Water softeners consist of three main components: a mineral tank, a brine tank, and a control valve. In some smaller units, the mineral tank and brine tank are combined into one cabinet.
Professionals install whole-home systems at the point of entry of the main water line. Smaller units are installed under sinks or near a washer—these units only soften the water for that fixture, not the entire home.
Mineral Tank: Hard water passes into the mineral tank through resin beads, and an ion exchange occurs. Magnesium and calcium ions are exchanged for sodium or potassium ions from the brine tank.
Brine Tank: The brine tank contains sodium or potassium to recharge the resin.
Control Valve: The control valve determines when to clean the resin beads.
Choosing between a salt-based or potassium-based water softener depends on your priorities. Salt-based systems effectively remove hard-water minerals, regenerate efficiently, and are cost-effective. However, they may not be ideal for individuals on low-sodium diets. Potassium-based systems neutralize minerals without removing them and regenerate more frequently. They are more expensive but offer a healthier and more environmentally friendly option. If sodium levels are a concern and cost isn't a major factor, a potassium system may be the better choice.
To calculate your water softener's capacity, determine your grains per gallon (GPG) number by:
Multiplying the number of people in your home by 90. The average number of gallons used per person for washing, drinking, and cooking ranges from 80 to 100 gallons per day.
Multiplying that result by the hardness of your water. The average grains per gallon in the United States is 10 but can range from 0 to 17. You can find your GPG number by purchasing an at-home water testing kit.
Installing a water softener takes between two to four hours on average. The exact duration depends on the complexity of the unit and whether additional plumbing or electrical work is required. If modifications to existing pipes are necessary, installation may take longer. Preparing the installation area by clearing any obstructions can help streamline the process.
Water softeners can last up to 25 years with proper maintenance and care. The lifespan depends on the type and quality of the unit you choose. Single-tank electric water softeners may last around 12 years, while higher-quality models tend to last longer. Regular maintenance, such as routine inspections and timely replacement of salts or potassium, helps extend the life of your system. Most water softeners require minimal repairs over their lifespan.
