A New Water Softener for a Rockford Home
The existing cabinet-style softener was removed and replaced with a new two-piece water softening system. The new system includes a separate mineral tank and brine tank for dependable operation and easier future service.
After installation, we programmed the control valve, checked the plumbing connections, verified proper cycling, and confirmed the system was ready to begin treating the home's hard water.

Programming, Startup & Testing
We programmed the electronic control valve based on the home's needs, checked the system for leaks, and verified that it could complete a proper regeneration cycle.
