Hard water is common in New Brighton due to mineral-rich groundwater that leaves behind a film on dishes, fixtures, and water heaters. Many homes draw supply from wells linked to the Jordan aquifer, which naturally carries calcium and magnesium. Over time, that buildup shortens appliance life and drives up energy costs.

At Peterson Salt, we are a family-owned company that has been working with New Brighton homeowners and businesses for decades, installing softeners and filtration systems and providing ongoing salt delivery to keep water clean and equipment running efficiently. Our licensed technicians handle testing, setup, and service without guesswork, just proven solutions for your specific water conditions.

Water Softeners and Services in New Brighton

Most neighbourhoods around New Brighton measure hardness at 15-17 grains per gallon, enough to coat fixtures and cloud glassware. We size and program softeners using Fleck and Clack controls that regenerate automatically based on water use. The setup protects plumbing lines, improves appliance efficiency, and gives cleaner laundry without the streaks and residue residents often notice from untreated water.

Commercial Water Softeners

From restaurants and fitness centres to apartment buildings along Silver Lake Road, consistent water quality keeps operations smooth. We install high-flow dual-tank systems with metered valves that sustain demand through busy hours. Regular maintenance and on-site testing reduce scale in boilers and extend the life of commercial dishwashers, ice machines, and laundries.

Water Softener Installation

Our installers map your plumbing layout and connect the system with proper bypasses, drain routing, and brine line safety. After setup, we run a hardness test to confirm balanced ion exchange before service begins. The installation includes clear instructions and scheduling for future salt refills so you never face dry brine tanks.

Water Softener Repair & Replacement

Older units can lose efficiency when resin beads degrade or valves misread flow. We troubleshoot metering errors, resin fouling, and brine draw problems using genuine replacement parts. When repairs no longer make sense, we replace systems with compact, high-capacity models that match your household or facility demand.

Salt Products and Delivery in New Brighton

Peterson Salt supplies high-grade salts for softening systems, pools, and winter safety. We store every blend in a climate-controlled facility to keep granules dry and consistent. Deliveries are made directly to your location, and our staff places bags where you need them for quick refills or seasonal use.

Pool Salt

Clear, balanced water starts with clean salt. We stock high-purity pool salt that dissolves evenly in residential and commercial chlorination systems, leaving no cloudiness or residue. It keeps sanitiser levels steady through Minnesota’s short swim season and protects pool surfaces from mineral film. Our deliveries arrive dry and ready to pour, so you can focus on enjoying clear water instead of troubleshooting buildup.

Ice Melt

Cold fronts sweeping through Ramsey County make pavements icy within hours after sunset, and that buildup often lingers into the morning rush hour. Our pet-friendly ice-melt blends cut through ice at low temperatures without harming concrete or lawns. On request, our delivery truck can also spread the product for you during heavy snow periods.

Water Softener Salt

New Brighton’s municipal supply carries enough hardness to coat fixtures fast, so consistent salt quality matters. Peterson Salt delivers solar pellets, evaporated cubes, and rust-remover blends that dissolve smoothly and prevent bridging inside your brine tank. We carry the bags to your softener, check the salt bed, and keep the feed line open for full ion-exchange efficiency. Regular refills keep your system at peak flow and protect plumbing from mineral deposits.

Water Filtration & Treatment in New Brighton

City water here often travels through ageing distribution lines before reaching homes, picking up fine sediment and trace metals along the way. Many residents notice cloudy tap water, film on glassware, or a flat taste after heating.

Peterson Salt designs filtration setups that address those local conditions directly, improving clarity, taste, and appliance lifespan through proven filtration methods.

Free Water Testing

We begin with accurate data, not guesses. Our technicians bring on-site test kits to measure hardness, pH, iron, and total dissolved solids directly from your tap. The readings show exactly what’s flowing through your plumbing so that we can match the right softening or filtration system. Results are reviewed with you on-site, ensuring you understand the cause before we recommend a fix.

Reverse Osmosis Systems

If your drinking water tastes metallic or carries a chlorine odour, a reverse osmosis system can strip away those impurities at the final point of use. We install compact under-sink RO units that push water through multiple membranes for crystal-clear drinking quality. These systems also reduce dissolved solids that slip past standard softeners, giving you clean water straight from the tap.

Iron Filtration Systems

New Brighton’s groundwater and older mains often contain iron, leaving orange streaks on tubs and appliances. Our iron filters use oxidising media and air-injection tanks to capture both ferrous and ferric iron before they stain or clog. Regular maintenance keeps the filter bed active so your water stays colour-free and fixtures stay protected.

Whole-House Water Filtration Systems

For properties drawing higher volumes of water or operating on private wells, whole-house filters protect every tap. Multi-stage units remove sediment, chlorine, and odour compounds before water enters your plumbing network. We size the installation based on flow rate and tested pressure to ensure filtration remains consistent throughout your home.

RO Filter Change

Filters and membranes lose efficiency over time. Our technicians replace them on schedule and clean each housing to keep flow steady and purity consistent. Regular upkeep helps your system perform like new and keeps your drinking water fresh.

Drinking Water Purification

Even the best RO units need timely filter replacements to stay effective. At Peterson Salt, our team tracks service intervals and replaces cartridges using manufacturer-approved membranes. This keeps your system removing minerals and chemicals efficiently while maintaining steady pressure and taste quality. Routine filter changes extend the lifespan of your RO system and safeguard the purity of your drinking water.
