Water Softener Brookfield
The water supplied to your Brookfield home is sourced from 22 ground water wells. As water flows from the wells into your home, it will pick up both natural and artificial minerals and contaminants. One of the most common concerns in the area is hard water.
Hard water is a common concern across the entire state of Wisconsin and Brookfield is no exception. Specifically, Brookfield has a water hardness level of 23-24 grains of hardness. A water softener helps to bring soft water into your home to help eliminate white/chalky buildup that you maybe be noticing among other water issues.
