Hard water is a constant issue in Andover homes and is among the hardest in Anoka County, often close to 19 grains per gallon. That mineral load leaves white scale on faucets, dulls laundry, and shortens the life of dishwashers and heaters, resulting in high utility costs. Peterson Salt provides complete water treatment solutions designed for the way Minnesotans live, from whole-house softeners to fast salt delivery during busy winters.

As a local, family-run company, we have helped homeowners and businesses across the north metro keep their water clean and their systems running efficiently for over four decades. We install, service, and deliver everything you need to enjoy soft, balanced water all year.

Water Softeners and Services in Andover

Andover draws water from deep glacial aquifers with high calcium and magnesium concentrations that promote internal pipe scaling. In older homes built before 2000, buildup often restricts flow and stains fixtures.

Peterson Salt installs and maintains Fleck, Clack and other best systems adjusted to local aquifer chemistry and flow rate, protecting plumbing, heaters, and water-using appliances in both city-supplied and well-fed properties.

Residential & Whole-House Water Softeners

City and well sources here carry high calcium and magnesium. We install Fleck and Clack systems that remove those minerals and balance your home’s water use.

You can choose from our new, refurbished, or rental units, depending on your budget, all sized for your household and tuned for local hardness. You will notice cleaner dishes, softer clothes, and plumbing that stays clear.

Commercial Water Softeners

Business owners in Andover deal with constant costs from hard water, clogged coffee makers, scale in dishwashers, and higher energy bills. We install and service commercial units built for heavy use in restaurants, clinics, and multi-unit buildings. They keep water lines clean and equipment running efficiently, saving money on maintenance and replacement parts.

Businesses around Bunker Lake Boulevard and Crosstown often opt for these systems to maintain their equipment in better condition and reduce maintenance costs.

Water Softener Installation

When your softener stops working, you can feel it quickly. Spots come back, and water feels harsh on the skin. We inspect valves, resin, and brine lines to find the real cause and fix it right away. If a system is too old to perform or has any other major issue, we replace it with one sized for your home and tuned to Andover’s conditions.

Water Softener Repair & Replacement

Water softeners can lose efficiency when resin beads become saturated or when the metering valve fails to regenerate on schedule. Sometimes it’s more practical to upgrade than to keep servicing an older unit that struggles to meet daily demand. We service valves, motors, and brine tanks, and when performance or salt use becomes inconsistent, we install modern Fleck and Clack systems built for current water hardness levels and household flow rates.

Salt Products and Delivery in Andover

Residential streets and commercial areas across Anoka County face icy surfaces through long freeze–thaw cycles. We deliver industrial-grade and pet-safe ice melt salts, moisture-protected water softener salts, and fast-dissolving pool salts.

Our salt products are stored under controlled humidity and transported across Andover for consistent purity and quick delivery during peak demand months.

Ice Melt

Ice buildup is one of the biggest winter headaches here. From driveways in Shadowbrook to parking lots off Hanson Boulevard, slick surfaces become safety risks overnight. We deliver blended and pet-safe ice melt salts that store easily and spread evenly. Our bags are kept dry indoors, and spreading service is available for commercial or multi-unit properties that need extra help after storms.

Water Softener Salt

Running out of salt turns soft water hard within hours. We bring solar, pellet, and potassium salts right to your tank. Bags stay dry, and we also fill the tank for you when needed.

Routine delivery keeps your water consistent and prevents those mineral streaks that show up when salt runs low.

Pool Salt

Summers in Andover are short, and pool owners want crystal-clear water without constant adjustments. Our pool salt dissolves fast and keeps chlorine balanced, cutting down on cloudy water and surface buildup.

Families across Prairie Knoll Park and Round Lake often get these deliveries to keep pools clean through every warm stretch.

Water Filtration & Treatment in Andover

Water across Andover contains varying levels of iron, sediment, and chlorine depending on the source and plumbing age. Older mains and private wells often contribute to metallic taste, odour, or discolouration in sinks.

We perform detailed water testing before installation, then build reverse osmosis and carbon filtration systems that address those issues directly, providing clear, fresh-tasting water throughout every tap in your home.

Free Water Testing

Many Andover homes pull water from private wells that vary in iron and sediment content. We test samples for hardness, iron, and total dissolved solids to pinpoint what’s causing stains or bad taste. Testing is free and helps us recommend only what your home actually needs.

Reverse Osmosis Systems

Tap water often carries chlorine and dissolved minerals that affect flavour. Our reverse osmosis units remove those impurities and give you clean drinking water straight from the faucet. These systems are compact, easy to maintain, and ideal for families and businesses trying to cut bottled water use.

Iron Filtration Systems

Orange streaks in sinks or a metallic taste are signs of iron in well water, common around the Rum River and Coon Creek areas. Our iron filters trap iron and sulfur before they reach your fixtures, stopping stains and odour at the source.

Whole-House Water Filtration Systems

Some homes face multiple water issues, including odour, chlorine, and sediment all at once. We provide and install top-rated filtration systems that cover every tap, improving taste and clarity throughout the house. Maintenance is simple, and filter media are replaced on a regular schedule.

RO Filter Change

Over time, RO filters collect buildup that slows flow and affects taste. We replace filters and inspect the system to keep performance consistent. Regular changes also help protect the RO membrane, extending the life of your unit.

Drinking Water Purification

Clean water should taste fresh every time. Our purification systems combine softening, carbon filtration, and reverse osmosis to remove impurities and improve taste. Homeowners in Andover trust this setup for safe, refreshing water every day.
