    Introduction to SoftPro Water Systems

    Introducing the Phillips Family

    What’s Your Water Score?


    Hey there, let us introduce the Phillips family— the heart and soul behind SoftPro Water Systems.

    It all started with Craig “The Water Guy” Phillips, founder, and head honcho of Quality Water Treatment (QWT) since way back in 1990.

    His mission? Deliver top-notch water solutions without playing games. SoftPro Water

    Systems came into being to go against big companies' overpriced, fear-mongering tactics.

    Craig has a straightforward mission: making better water for everyone. And his family stands right there with him.

    His son, Jeremy Phillips, rocks the sales scene by focusing on what customers actually need, rather than being pushy.

    On the flip side, Heather Phillips—his daughter—is the brains behind day-to-day operations, support, and all things marketing, serving as the friendly face (or voice) you interact with at QWT.

    Key Company Highlights:

    • Family Run Show: With hands-on leadership, everyone has skin in the game.
    • Customer-First Attitude: Honest pricing, deep dives into education, and being there for you when you need help.
    • U.S. Wide Reach, Local at Heart: We’re nationwide, but never lose that good old family vibe.

    Choosing the Right Water Softener

    Picking the right water softener for your well water doesn't have to be like solving a riddle.

    Let's break it down simply and make your decision as smooth as, well, softened water.

    Understanding Water Hardness Levels

    Water has its own personality—it can be soft or hard, depending on how much calcium and magnesium it parties with.

    These levels can bounce around quite a bit when you're dealing with well water.

    Before you throw down some cash, you'll want to know where your water's hardness level sits.

    Water Hardness Grains Per Gallon (gpg) Milligrams per Liter (mg/L) or Parts per Million (ppm)
    Soft 0–3.5 0-60
    Moderately Hard 3.5–7.0 60-120
    Hard 7.0–10.5 120-180
    Very Hard 10.5+ 180+

    Once you know the level, you can figure out how robust your water softener should be.

    Factors to Consider When Selecting a Water Softener

    When you're scoping out water softeners, keep these few nuggets in mind to land the perfect system for your home.

    1. Capacity Requirements: Think of the water softener's capacity as its appetite for those pesky minerals and your household's daily splash-fest.

    Household Size Water Softener Capacity (Grains)
    1-2 People 20,000 - 30,000 grains
    3-4 People 30,000 - 40,000 grains
    5-6 People 40,000 - 50,000 grains

    Make sure your system is hungry enough to handle your water habits.

    2. Type of Softener:

    • Salt-Based Systems: This system plays swap-the-minerals with sodium. Expect to keep adding salt—just about weekly.
    • Salt-Free Systems: Instead of kicking minerals out, it tells them to chill out and not cause buildup. A bit more costly, but hey, no salt or power bills to worry about.

    3. Regeneration Methods:

    • Time-Initiated Regeneration: Works on the water by the clock, not your water habits, which might use more salt and water.
    • Demand-Initiated Regeneration: This one pays attention to your water usage, keeping things efficient on the salt and water front.

    4. Features and Technology:

    • Dual-Tank Systems: Perfect for well water, they keep softening even during their own maintenance cycles.
    • Smart Technology: Consider something like the SoftPro Smart Home+ for futuristic conveniences like checking everything from an app and getting alerts about leaks.

    5. Installation and Maintenance: Check out how easy it is to get your system on the grid and keep it running. Hassle-free systems can save time and money.

    Looking at these points will help you snag a setup that tackles your well water challenges like a champ.

    With the right softener, dealing with water hardness becomes a piece of cake, leaving your home and appliances happy and protected.
