Delafield first developed in the 1840s as a settlement of the southwest edge of Lake Nagawicka. Today the residential area is home to about 7,500 residents and draws even more people as a popular resort area. Water supply is sourced to the residents through groundwater and public water utilities for the city. It’s important to remove excess contaminants or minerals from water to make it suitable for consumption as well as other household needs like cleaning, washing, and bathing. Guthrie & Frey provides Delafield water softeners to ensure homes have clean and safe water.
Like any other city, the processes by which you get your water are vulnerable to a variety of naturally occurring contaminants. This is why so many residents turn to water softeners to filter out contaminants and get a continuous supply of clean water to rely on. The two main contaminants found in Delafield’s water include arsenic and radium. There are also a few other detected contaminants that can put homeowners’ safety at risk. What exactly do these contaminants mean? Take a look at the chart below to learn more about risks associated with each one.

While water softeners can last anywhere from 15 to 20 years, eventually components can break, or electrical problems may occur which will cause it to stop working. By keeping your water softener properly maintained, you can avoid these issues.
