Water Treatment Systems We Install
We focus on four kinds of systems: water softeners for hard water, reverse osmosis for drinking and cooking water, whole-home filtration for taste and odor at every tap, and well water treatment for homes on a private well. Each one is sized to your household and fitted where it is easy to reach and service. Systems we install carry 5 years of coverage on the control valve, circuit board and filter media, so the parts that do the daily work are looked after.
Water Softeners
Softener systems sized to your household's water use, installed neatly beside your water heater and programmed before we leave.
Reverse Osmosis
A compact under-sink system that gives you a dedicated tap of clean water for drinking, coffee and cooking, fitted neatly into your kitchen cabinet.
Whole-Home Filtration
A carbon filtration system on your main water line, so the shower, the kitchen tap and the ice maker all run without that chlorine smell.
Well Water Treatment
Treatment for private wells that clears iron stains, sulfur smell and grit, sized to your pump and installed with care in your home.
What Shapes the Price of a System
No two basements are laid out alike, which is why we set a price only after seeing where your system will sit. A handful of things matter more than the rest. We walk you through each so every line of the quote is clear.
Your quote costs nothing, comes in writing, and holds for 30 days. If spreading the cost would help, we can explain the U.S. Bank Avvance financing option, available on approved credit.
- Type of system
- An under-sink reverse osmosis unit in the kitchen takes less equipment and time than treatment that serves every faucet in your home. Pairing two systems, say a softener plus a drinking water unit, adds to both the parts list and the hours on site.
- Capacity and household size
- A larger family uses more water each day, which calls for a larger resin tank or filter vessel. Sizing it right keeps regeneration and media replacement on a sensible schedule.
- Plumbing and access
- We look at where your main line enters, how much room sits around it, and whether a drain and outlet are close by. A tight corner or a long run to a floor drain adds time.
- Removing old equipment
- If an older softener or filter is already in place, we account for disconnecting it, hauling it out and adapting the connections for the new system.
- Well water conditions
- Homes on a private well can need more than one stage of treatment. The number of stages and the type of media each one uses is a large part of the cost.
How We Work in Your Home
We would rather recommend one right system than sell you two. That is the simple idea behind every visit.
- 01
Advice that fits the problem
Scale on fixtures calls for a softener. A chlorine taste calls for carbon. We match the equipment to what you are actually seeing at the tap and on your fixtures, and we tell you plainly when a smaller system will do.
- 02
A quote you can hold onto
Your quote is written out and holds for 30 days. Take the time to compare, talk it over at the kitchen table, and call back when you are ready.
- 03
Payment at the finish
You settle the full amount once the install is complete. By then the system is already running in your home, and you have seen it work.
- 04
Careful, tidy installs
We lay down protection where we work, keep fittings neat and level, and route drain lines cleanly. Most systems sit in a basement or utility room, and we leave that space as orderly as we found it.
- 05
Room to change your mind
After you sign, you have three business days to cancel. We want every customer to feel settled about the decision, the way you would want a neighbor to feel.
From First Call to Finished Install
Here is how a job runs, start to finish. No step happens without your say-so.
- 1
A conversation by phone
Describe what you are noticing: spots on glassware, a taste you dislike, a well that needs attention. We ask about household size and the spot where water enters the house, then agree on a day for a visit.
- 2
A look at your plumbing
We see where the system would go, check the main line, drain and power, and talk through the options that suit your space.
- 3
Your written quote
You get the equipment, the work involved and the total in writing. It holds for 30 days, and we can explain financing if you want it.
- 4
Install day
We protect the floor, shut the water off for as short a time as we can, and fit the system with clean, solid connections. Before we leave, we show you how it runs and what upkeep looks like.
- 5
Payment and follow-through
You pay in full once the install is complete. If a question comes up later, the same phone number reaches us.
A Small Company That Treats Your Home Like a Neighbor's
Cudahy Water Softener is a local company focused on one thing: putting good water treatment into homes and doing it carefully. We spend our days in basements and under kitchen sinks, and we know that a well-made install is quiet, reliable and easy to service for years.
We care about the finish as much as the equipment. Straight runs, labeled bypass valves, a drain line that will not kink, a system you can reach when the salt or a filter needs changing. Those details are what you live with long after we leave.
Wisconsin winters are hard on anything near an outside wall, so we think about placement before we cut into a line. It is the kind of attention we would want in our own home.
- Warranty
- 5 years on control valve, circuit board and filter media
Questions Neighbors Ask Us
- Do I need a water softener or a filter?
- They solve different problems. A softener uses resin to remove the calcium and magnesium that leave scale on fixtures and inside your water heater. A carbon filter reduces chlorine taste and odor. We ask what you are noticing and look at your fixtures and plumbing, then recommend only what addresses it.
- Is financing available?
- Yes. Financing is available through U.S. Bank Avvance, on approved credit. Call us and we will explain how it works and whether it makes sense for your system.
- When do I pay?
- The full amount is due once the install is complete. You owe nothing at the start, and the system is already running in your home when payment comes up.
- How long is a quote good for?
- Your quote holds for 30 days. That gives you time to think it over without the price changing underneath you.
- Can I back out once the paperwork is signed?
- Yes. You can cancel within three business days of signing, no explanation needed. We would rather you feel sure than rushed.
- What warranty comes with a system?
- Tanks, the ceramic discs inside the valve, and dry mechanical parts are covered for life. When we hand you your quote, we walk through what that coverage includes, so nothing is left unclear down the road.
- Will the install disrupt my day?
- Your water is off for part of the visit while we tie into the line, and we keep that window as short as we can. We protect the work area, clean up when we finish, and show you how to run the bypass valve before we go.
- Do you work on private wells?
- Yes. Well water treatment is one of our four services. Wells can bring different concerns than city water, so we look at your setup carefully before suggesting the stages of treatment it needs.
