How an Install Runs
Most installs take part of a day. Here is what happens from your first call to the final cleanup.
- 1
A phone conversation
You tell us what you are noticing, whether that is scale on fixtures, stained sinks, an odor or a taste you dislike. We talk through which systems fit, what the code requires for your setup, and how financing works if you want it.

Your quote, line by line
You get a free quote that names the equipment, the plumbing work and any permit. It holds for 30 days.
- 3
Install day
Drop cloths go down first. Then we close the main valve and cut the system in with a bypass valve. Drain lines get their air gap and the bonding jumper goes on before water flows through the house again.

Startup and walkthrough
We set the system for your household, run it through a cycle and check every joint for leaks. Then we show you the bypass, the salt or filter routine, and what normal operation looks like. Payment is due once the install is complete.
Water Treatment for Your Home
We handle water softeners, reverse osmosis, whole-home filtration and well water treatment, and every system is installed by a licensed Wisconsin plumber. The equipment we fit carries lifetime coverage on tanks, valve ceramic discs and dry mechanical parts. Each page below explains what that system fixes, how it connects to your plumbing and what affects the price.
Water Softeners
Softeners sized to your water and plumbed with a bypass valve and an air-gapped drain, installed by a licensed Wisconsin plumber.
Reverse Osmosis
An under-sink system that gives your kitchen clean-tasting water for drinking, coffee and ice, with a proper air gap and code-compliant drain connection.
Whole-Home Filtration
A carbon filtration system at your main water line that takes chlorine taste and odor out of every faucet and shower in your home.
Well Water Treatment
Iron, sulfur odor, hardness and sediment from a private well, treated with equipment sized to your water and installed to Wisconsin plumbing code.
How We Do the Work
A water system touches your supply line, your drain and your electrical grounding. We treat each of those connections as carefully as the equipment itself.
Code requirements explained before install day
We tell you what the plumbing code asks for on your job: where the drain line can discharge, why it needs an air gap, and whether a permit applies. You hear it in plain words before anything is cut.
Drains that cannot back up into your water
Softener regeneration and reverse osmosis reject water both run to a drain. We set each line with a true air gap so wastewater has no path back into the system feeding your faucets.
Grounding kept intact
When copper pipe is cut to add a softener or filter, the electrical bond through that pipe can be broken. We install a bonding jumper across the new equipment so your grounding stays continuous.
A finish you would be glad to show
Pipe runs are kept straight and supported, fittings are labeled, and the bypass valve sits where you can reach it. When we leave, the area around the system is swept and the old parts are gone.
Room to decide
Your quote stays good for 30 days, which leaves time to compare and ask questions. Even after signing, you still have three business days to cancel.
About Menomonee Falls Water Softener
We are a small company focused on one thing: putting water treatment equipment into homes so it works quietly for years. That means choosing the right system, then fitting it with the same care you would expect from someone working in their own basement.
Much of what goes wrong with home water systems has little to do with the equipment. A drain line pushed straight into a standpipe, a missing bonding jumper or a bypass buried behind a water heater can all cause trouble later. We take those details seriously and explain them as we go, so you understand what was done and why.
- License
- Installed by a licensed Wisconsin plumber
- Warranty
- Lifetime coverage on tanks, valve ceramic discs and dry mechanical parts
What Shapes the Price of Your System
Two homes can need the same softener and end up with different totals. Most of the difference comes from the plumbing around the equipment, not the equipment itself. Here is what we look at when we put your quote together.
We go over your situation on a phone call and give you a free quote that stays valid for 30 days. You make full payment at the completion of the install, or use financing through U.S. Bank Avvance, on approved credit.
- Type and size of system
- A softener sized for a large household costs more than one for two people. Adding a reverse osmosis unit or an iron filter ahead of the softener adds equipment and labor.
- Where it can go
- A basement with the main line, a floor drain and an outlet close together is the simplest install. Longer pipe runs or a new drain route add time. Equipment has to sit in a heated space, since a freeze in a cold garage can crack a valve or tank.
- Condition of the existing plumbing
- Older galvanized or corroded copper near the connection point may need replacing so the new fittings seal properly. We point this out before we price it, not after.
- Drain and power nearby
- Every system we fit discharges to an approved drain through an air gap, and most need a standard electrical receptacle close by. When a home lacks one or both near the install spot, we include running them in the scope of work and price it on your quote.
- Permits and inspection
- Some jobs call for paperwork and a visit from the inspector, depending on the community and the scope. When that applies, it shows up on your quote as its own line.

Questions Homeowners Ask
- Do I need a permit to install a water softener?
- It depends on the community and on how much plumbing is changing. A straight swap of an existing softener often needs less than a new install that adds a drain line or reroutes pipe. We check the local requirement for your address, and if a permit applies, we handle it and list it on your quote.
- Why does the drain connection matter so much?
- A softener flushes salty water during regeneration, and a reverse osmosis unit sends reject water to the drain. If that line is sealed directly into a drain, sewer water could be drawn back toward your supply. An air gap breaks that connection, and code requires it for good reason.
- How does financing work?
- Financing is available through U.S. Bank Avvance, on approved credit. On the phone we explain the application and terms in plain language, before you decide anything. If you would rather pay outright, full payment is due when the install is complete.
- What warranty comes with the equipment?
- On the systems we put in, the tanks, the valve ceramic discs and the dry mechanical parts all come with lifetime coverage. When we review your quote, we walk through what falls under that coverage so nothing is left vague.
- Should I get a softener, a filter or both?
- A softener removes the hardness minerals that leave scale on fixtures and inside your water heater. A filter targets other things, such as chlorine taste, sediment or iron. Many homes do well with one, and some need both, often with a reverse osmosis unit at the kitchen sink for drinking water. Tell us what you are seeing and we will explain which combination makes sense.
- We are on a private well. Is the setup different?
- Usually, yes. Well water often carries iron, sediment or a sulfur odor that a softener alone does not handle well. Our well water treatment page explains how we arrange filters ahead of the softener so each part does its own job.
- Will my water be off for long on install day?
- Usually only for part of the install, while we cut the new equipment into the main line. We tell you before we close the valve, and the house is back on water once the joints are made and checked. The bypass valve also lets you keep water flowing later if the system ever needs service.
- What if I change my mind after signing?
- You have three business days after you sign to cancel. Before that, your quote holds for 30 days, so there is no reason to rush.
