EcoWater Water Softeners in South Metro and Central MNĀ 

Get the only system made in the USA with both softening & chlorine reduction, a Dare to Compare Guarantee, an Excellent Warranty, & Mobile App monitoring!

As we speak, hardness minerals (such as calcium and magnesium) are slowly building up in your home on everything your water touches.

This includesĀ  things like your water heater, your dish washer, your coffee maker, your faucets, and even your skin…

It doesn’t matter if your water is from a well, or from the city supply, most homes in the US have hard water.

Few people know, but you can only remove hardness minerals from your water through ion exchange, which is what a water softener does.

Water filters are built to remove other contaminants, but not hardness minerals…

The EcoWater Softener is our best water softener. It is a whole home softening and chlorine removal system.

EcoWater Softener Cutaway

EcoWater All-in-One Water Softener System

Here’s what you can expect from an EcoWater whole home water softener:

  • Removes hardness minerals and sediment that make your skin dry and prematurely age your expensive appliances
  •  
  • Removes chlorine taste and odor by filtering your water with a built in coconut-shell carbon filter
  •  
  • Eliminates spots on silverware, glasses and dishes
  •  
  • Prevents scale build-up on pipes, faucets and water using appliances
  •  
  • Customizable to meet additional water treatment needs you may have
  •  

Financing options available!

How do you know if you have hard water?

washing machine element damaged by hard water

This is a washing machine heating element that’s been exposed to hard water

Here are some telltale signs…

  1. Your skin is dry and itchy and your hair is dull
  2. Your drinking glasses & stemware come out of the dishwasher with spots
  3. Your faucets and fixtures have a crust that’s hard to remove
  4. Your water heater takes forever to heat up, or you’ve prematurely had to replace or repair it
  5. Your whites are more like 50 shades of gray and your brights have lost their luster

What are the Benefits of Soft Water?

Softer Skin & Hair Hard water minerals bond with skin and hair leaving a nasty film. Kind of like that limescale on your faucet! An EcoWater softener removes hardness minerals naturally so you can stop spending money on lotions & skin care products as your body becomes free of buildup!
Extend Appliance Life Dishwashers, washing machines, water heaters (tankless, electric, & gas), ice makers, boiler systems, & humidifiers all suffer when your water contains hardness minerals. Their useful life may be greatly reduced because they are not designed to endure hard water.
It Can Pay for Itself You can save up to 75% on cleaning products, as they are more effective and less are needed. You can also save up to 40% on energy costs related to your water-using appliances, and plus they last longer. Its harder to estimate the amount of savings you get when you no longer have to waste time scrubbing that scale off your shower doors, faucets, fixtures, dishes, & glassware.

No Hassle, No Obligation

I needed a new sump pump as it stopped working. Melissa did a great job of communicating the options and what would work for me.Nick arrived the day of install on time. My basement was was starting to flood from the heavy rain with water seeping through the concrete floor. Nick was calm, put a temporary pump in place and installed the new pump to fully drain the water. From sale to signing off after install, green flags all the way.Thanks Melissa and Nick the new pump is like sump pump 2.0. Based on my experience I will recommend you for all water filter and plumbing needs.

Installation of a replacement water heater went without any issues. The installer had all the equipment and parts to complete the task. Cleanup was exceptional. I would highly recommend Tri-County for all your plumbing needs.

I rented a water softener and filtration system from Tri County for years. They were always responsive and proactive to make sure the systems were working well. Their service people are thorough and honest. Never charged me for things I didnā€™t need and advising me as to how to do stuff myself so I could avoid unnecessary service calls. When I inquired to buy out my rental agreements, they quoted me a fair price and sent out a service person to ensure the units were in good working order before finalizing the transaction. Great experience all the way through. Iā€™m certainly going to trust them to keep the units I bought working for years into the future.

I was referred by a relative to call Tri County and my expectations were exceeded. Colby was very thorough and patient answering our questions and laying out options without any sales pressure. I appreciated that the installation crew verified the specifics with me also. I would recommend Tri County to others.

Wow. My only regret is that I didnā€™t put this softening system in sooner! We live in rural Minnesota with hard water and a ton of calcium build upā€¦ā€¦ once we got our softener (plus a reverse osmosis system) we have had the softest water, no build up or residue on our dishes, even our hair is extra soft now! Itā€™s the best investment. The company was incredibly nice and easy to work with. Melissa is AMAZING!!

Our water softener experience with Tri County Water Conditioning was great! My husband and I moved into a new construction home and started seeing hard water spots on dishes and showers. Colby did an excellent job going through the options of water softeners and answering all of our questions. Once we decided on one based on his recommendations, we had it installed by Nick. Again, he took the time to show me how it worked, explained the type of salt to use and made sure everything was working properly. Our water is SO much better now! The drinking water tastes so clean and we no longer have hard water spots. Colby even came back 2 weeks after it was installed to check the hardness and everything was working as it should. Thank you so much for a great experience!

We had a water heater, water softener and a reverse osmosis system installed in our home by Tri County Water Conditioning. The installers arrived promptly, were professional and friendly. The installers were very knowledgeable, they walked us thru all the controls of the three systems. A Tri County Water Conditioning representative came out to our home after the installation to retest the water and to make sure we did not have any other questions. They provide fantastic service; I would totally recommend Tri County Water Conditioning!!

Fantastic experience with TriCounty and Colby!! We were really struggling with our rented water softener and our water didnā€™t taste/smell good. Now our water is fresh and both smells and tastes great. Highly recommend the water experts at TriCounty who test your water and sell you what you actually need. Thank you!

Frequent Questions

How do I choose a water softener?

Softeners aren’t one size fits all. That’s where we can start to help you. Based on the size of your household and your typical water usage, we can determine which softener size you’ll need.

Sizing is an important step, as it ensures there is enough capacity to handle your needsĀ  and not so much capacity that it creates waste.

From there, you can choose additional features to make your life easier or to meet additional water treatment needs based on the results of your water test.

How much does a water softener cost?

This will depend on the size, features, and your particular installation. The best way to get pricing is to call so that you can get it properly sized.

Pricing includes the new equipment, the installation and proper setup, so that it meets your expectations.

A water softener can potentially pay for itself over time with savings on detergents, soaps, and cleaning supplies, reductions in energy usage and the extended life of your water-using appliances. Water heaters tend to suffer the most in hard water, and they are expensive to replace.

Why not just buy a softener from a big box store or online retailer?

Big box stores sell softeners that are made with lower quality parts to reduce the price, even if you get name brand.

You will still have to hire a local plumber to do the install, unless you are quite knowledgeable in plumbing.

It can be difficult to get any warranty work done from a big box store, and often there is no warranty from online retailers.

In either case, you will usually just get referred to a local plumber who may not necessarily have knowledge of your specific equipment.

So essentially you are on your own once it reaches your house.

What are the next steps?

You send us your contact info through one of the forms on this page, or give us a call directly.

We ask you a few questions to help get you the right equipment so you get what you expect from your water.

If you’re not sure what is wong with your water. We will schedule a convenient time to come out and test it for you (free of charge), and if it looks good, we can leave it at that.

However, if you already know you have hard water, or the test shows you do, we can give you a price quote on the properly sized water softener.

If you’re satisfied, we schedule a convenient time to come out and install and set up your new water softner.

What is a Dare to Compare Guarantee?

It is a guarantee that for 30 days after you purchase an EcoWater softener, if you find an equal or better softener (regarless of price) with the same technical performance specs, warranty, consumer protection etc. (for fairness of comparison), you will get your money back and keep the system free.

In less words, EcoWater is confident that they provide the best softener with the best guarantees, so you don’t have to worry about your purchase.

What is covered by the Warranty?

This depends on the model and features you get.

To keep it simple, it’s best just to ask us when you are choosing your softener.

How do I maintain my softener?

You’ll be able to monitor your softener’s usage and the salt levels via the mobile app. When the salt gets low the app will notify you. Then you just purchase softener salt and refill it.

If you prefer the less manual route, you can schedule a salt delivery with us. We’ll deliver the salt and fill your softener for you.

Frequency of salt refill really depends on your household’s water usage and the efficiency of the softener (EcoWater are extremely efficient). In an average household, a softener can go 2 to 4 months on a refill.

What happens if I need help with my softener?

Just give us a call, our direct number is here on this page and most of the pages of our site. You will reach a local technician who can answer your questions, or you will be able to schedule us to come out and help.

Why should I choose to work with you?

Because we care. Try and get that from an online retailer or a big box store.

We would be proud to be your trusted advisor and go-to for your water treatment needs, to keep you and your family healthy and happy.
