Client Challenge
A large commercial development in Wisconsin, featuring 60,000 square feet of office space and 18,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, required a high-efficiency water treatment system to ensure consistent water quality across multiple buildings. The client faced issues with hard water, iron, and chlorine levels, which could lead to equipment scaling, staining, and unpleasant water taste and odor—all major concerns for both office tenants and restaurant operators.
Additionally, they needed a system that could handle fluctuating water demands while maintaining regulatory compliance and ensuring optimal performance for high-traffic businesses.
Guthrie & Frey’s Solution
To address these challenges, we installed a H200-300,000 grain Triplex water softener, a
30” Triplex Filter OX system, and a chlorine feed system. These technologies work together
to:
- Reduce hardness levels to prevent scaling in pipes, appliances, and HVAC
systems. - Remove iron and manganese to eliminate staining on fixtures and improve water clarity.
- Neutralize chlorine to enhance water taste and protect sensitive equipment.
- Ensure a continuous, high-capacity supply to meet the needs of tenants, restaurants, and retail businesses.
- By properly sizing the water softener to meet the complex’s demands, we ensured long-term efficiency and minimal maintenance requirements.
Results & Impact
- Improved water quality for office workers, restaurant staff, and retail customers.
- Extended lifespan of plumbing and appliances by preventing scale buildup.
- Reduced maintenance costs for the property owner through efficient water treatment.
- Compliance with Wisconsin water quality regulations, ensuring safe and reliable service.
