In the spring of 1989, hometown boy Bill Wix opened a water conditioning business that he called Wix Water Works. For the 8 years previous to this, Bill worked for another water conditioning business. Deciding to take “the plunge” and start his own business was a major event in his life. Bill operated the business from 1989-2016 before handing the reins to his son Robert in 2017. Robert grew up in the business and after his high school graduation in 2000, became a full time employee. Over the years, Wix Water Works has had several employees. At the present time, Wix has 3 fulltime employees: Shane Carlson (cousin) heads up deliverys and service calls and has been on board since June 2010. Susan Rewerts is our administrative assistant and has worked for Wix for the past 24 years. Bill also still works for the company. The staff at Wix Water Works is made up of friendly, competent workers with the best interests of their customers in mind. Honesty and dedication to our client's water needs is our utmost responsibility. Wix Water Works is happy to service both residential and commercial operations. We provide sales and rentals of water softeners, water coolers, iron filters, reverse osmosis drinking water systems, ultraviolet lights, and chemical feed systems. Dependable home delivery of softener salt and bottled water is also available. All these products and services are offered at reasonable prices to the customer. Working with the family-owned and operated Hellenbrand manufacturing company of Waunakee, Wisconsin, Wix Water Works sells and rents only high quality water treatment equipment. We firmly stand behind our products and services.

Residential and business water treatment systems. Water softeners, UV lights. We will analyze your water for contaminants such as chlorine, low pH, iron, bacteria, and devise a system to suit your needs. Treat your water from the source, as it enters your home, so whether you are drinking it, cooking with it or bathing in it, your water is pure.

"The process was quick and easy. I just provided a water sample. It was determined that I had high levels of chlorine in our drinking water. I was able to solve my water problems with only one filter. Why did I wait years to have this done? Now I can be confident that our water is safe. Highly recommended."

"These guys can't change a wax ring on a toilet. Literally. They eventually got mine replaced at 6pm on a Friday and they were ready to give up at 5 but their boss told them to stay until done. After they got it ( it took 5 guys, 2 of them just slumbering around ), they charged me $300 for a wax ring . I've got nothing to gain by leaving this review, mainly I wanted to leave one in order to warn people to stay away from this company."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

DIY installation is sometimes plausible, improving efficiency and reducing expenses, but adherence to safety practices guarantees optimal performance.

The main difference between water softeners and water filters is that softeners remove hard minerals from the water, while filters have more of a blanket effect, removing all contaminants above a certain size. Filters are also much less expensive to install and protect against bacteria and other impurities. Depending on your water supply, you may need both.

Hard water doesn’t pose a risk to your physical health when you drink it. In fact, drinking hard water can help ensure you get enough of essential minerals like calcium in your daily diet. However, extremely hard water can contribute to dry skin and make your scalp itchy if you wash your hair in it too often.

It’s not a good idea to oversize your water softener. Doing so will mean the tank doesn’t get full, which can lead to channeling. This leads to a large portion of the resin beads not being utilized and the beads at the bottom of the tank being overused. Over time, this will reduce the efficiency of your system, not to mention that the upfront cost of an oversized softener is unnecessarily high. If you have a timed regeneration cycle rather than a demand-based one, you’ll also spend far more on replacing salt than you need to.

Most of the U.S. has hard water, especially across portions of the West and Midwest. The areas with the hardest water include parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Illinois, North and South Dakota, Ohio, and New York. You’ll find soft water in parts of New England, the Southeast, the Pacific Northwest, and Hawaii.
