High-Efficiency Water Softening for Multi-Family Apartment Complex

Client Challenge

A 99-unit apartment complex in Wisconsin required a high-capacity water treatment
system to provide residents with clean, softened water while ensuring efficiency and
reliability. The property owner faced challenges with hard water buildup, chlorine levels,
and scaling in plumbing and appliances, which could lead to increased maintenance
costs, tenant complaints, and reduced equipment lifespan.
Additionally, with nearly 100 apartments relying on the same water supply, the system
needed to be properly sized to handle fluctuating demand while maintaining consistent
water pressure and quality throughout the property.

Guthrie & Frey’s Solution

To meet the apartment complex’s needs, Guthrie & Frey installed a H200M-240,000 grain
Quad water softener, paired with a chlorine feed system and a Systemate control panel for
automated system management. This solution provided:

  • High-capacity soft water supply, preventing scale buildup in pipes, appliances, and fixtures.
  • Chlorine treatment, ensuring safe and clean water for all residents.
  • Advanced system monitoring, optimizing performance and reducing the need for manual adjustments.
  • Efficient water softener sizing, ensuring reliable service even during peak usage times.
