FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
In Central Minnesota, water tends to be rich in calcium and magnesium. Salt-based ion exchange systems are typically most effective for this type of water. If you’re on a private well or dealing with iron, we often recommend a dual-tank water softener or a system with an integrated iron filter. Salt-free water softeners are available, but they may not handle mineral-heavy water as effectively.
Water softener costs vary depending on the type and capacity of the system, plus the complexity of the installation. You can expect to spend somewhere between $3,000 for moderate water quality and $10,000+ for serious hazardous mitigation systems including nitrate, arsenic, coliform, and lead. At Schroeder’s, we always offer upfront estimates and financing options to keep costs affordable.
In the Brainerd Lakes area, water softeners usually need salt top-offs every 4-8 weeks. You’ll also want to clean your water softener and perform system checks periodically to keep the system in good working order. Schroeder’s offers ongoing maintenance and water quality testing to ensure your system stays in great shape year-round.
A typical tank install includes plumbing the system in, setting the drain line, 80lbs of salt for the brine tank, and programming the unit to meet your home’s needs and ensure leak protection throughout the home. Our technicians will walk you through how everything works and provide maintenance recommendations. Most installations are completed in just one visit.

Yes. While topping off salt and cleaning the tank are helpful, annual service ensures your water softener stays calibrated and efficient. We’ll check for worn seals, test your water, and adjust settings if needed.
The benefits of a water softener include:
- Improved detergent performance
- Spotless dishes
- Reduced fixture staining
- Prolonged life of plumbing systems
- Prolonged life of water-driven appliances like dishwashers, ice makers, washing machines, water heaters, and more.
If your water smells, tastes like chlorine, or contains other contaminants, we can pair your softener with a whole-home filtration system for even better results.
With proper maintenance, you can expect a salt-based water softener to last 10 to 20 years. We can help you get the most out of your investment through regular service and expert guidance.
