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."

"Mr Rooter showed up and spent 3 hours augering on our kitchen sink drain that was draining very slow. The tech gave up and started instructing me to find where the drain line ran in the basement and start cutting inspection holes in the drywall ceiling and walls to cut into pipe in the basement. Left with sinks in kitchen both full and drain was then completely plugged. Charged me $320 to make my problem worse. I called Kruser Septic the next day. They showed up and used a small jet and within 45 minutes the drain was running free and junk was completely blown out of the pipe. Total bill was $180 with 2 service techs on site."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

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.

Water softeners have many benefits. The most important one is converting previously hard water—water with too many minerals—to more usable, easier water. When we say easier water, we mean water that’s easier to digest, less harsh on skin and clothes, and builds up less in the water system. Softer water may lead to lower energy costs and will extend the lifespan of all appliances that use water.

Softened water prevents scale deposits, reducing appliance wear, leading to energy savings and longer-lasting household fixtures.

No, a water descaler won't descale pipes. The charged water running through the pipes may very slowly dissolve mineral deposits and hold them inside the water, but it's a very gradual process. If your pipes do need descaling, it's much better to get a local plumber to descale your pipes.

Yes, it’s fine to drink softened water. However, if you follow a low-sodium diet or have high blood pressure or sodium-related health concerns, make sure to speak with your doctor beforehand. If they advise against drinking water that’s been softened with sodium, you might be able to use potassium in your water softener instead.
