Water Filtration | Eldridge, IA

Water is used throughout your home every day. It runs through your shower, dishwasher, washing machine, water heater, faucets, and other fixtures. While water may look clean and clear, certain characteristics can still affect how it works inside your home.

Hard water is one of the most common concerns homeowners experience. Calcium and magnesium minerals in hard water can leave deposits on faucets, showerheads, dishes, and glassware. Over time, mineral buildup can also collect inside plumbing and water-using appliances.

You may notice white spots, scale around fixtures, soap that does not lather well, or laundry that feels stiff after washing.

A water test can help determine whether hardness is contributing to these problems.

If hard water is the concern, a Kinetico water softener can provide treatment throughout your home.

Rather than treating only the water you drink, a whole-home water softener works on the incoming water supply. This means softened water can reach showers, laundry areas, dishwashers, water heaters, and faucets.

Kinetico systems are designed to regenerate based on actual household water use rather than relying on a simple fixed timer. This demand-operated approach allows the system to respond to the amount of water your household uses.

Water softening and water filtration are designed for different purposes.

If your main concern is chlorine taste or odour, sediment, or other water quality characteristics, a whole-home filtration system may be a better option. A Kinetico filtration system can be installed where water enters your home so treated water can reach multiple fixtures.

For homeowners who want additional treatment specifically for drinking and cooking, Midwest Water Company also installs the Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station.

The best water treatment recommendation starts with your actual water.

Midwest Water Company offers free in-home water testing in Eldridge and surrounding communities. A technician tests your water directly from the tap and explains the results with you.

Testing can provide information about hardness, pH, chlorine, iron, total dissolved solids, and other important water characteristics.

You can then understand whether your home would benefit from softening, filtration, drinking water treatment, or a combination of systems.
