What We Install

Commercial Water Treatment Systems We Engineer

Each piece protects the next. We size the whole train around your flow rate, your water and your process, for manufacturing, food and beverage, healthcare, hospitality, pharmaceutical, data center and energy facilities. See the industries we serve.

System What It Does Details
Water softening Ion exchange removes the calcium and magnesium that cause scale. Twin alternating, demand-initiated and custom multi-stage systems. Softener installation
Filtration Multimedia and activated carbon remove suspended solids, chlorine, iron and manganese before they reach softeners and membranes. Water filtration systems
Reverse osmosis Strips dissolved solids, sodium and silica. A well-run commercial system drops conductivity by 95 to 99 percent. Commercial RO
Deionization Polishes RO water to near-zero conductivity, as service-exchange tanks or on-site regenerable systems. DI and specialty treatment
Service and monitoring Water testing, resin and media replacement, written service reports and 24/7 emergency response. Service agreements
Why It Matters

What Untreated Water Costs a Facility

Commercial water is hard on equipment, and the cost shows up in energy bills, repairs and downtime.

Ohio Water Is Very Hard

Commercial water in Ohio falls in the “Very Hard” category, 15 to 25 grains per gallon. See the Ohio water hardness guide for your area.

Scale Wastes Energy

Scale builds at roughly 1/16 inch per year on heat exchange surfaces at these hardness levels, enough to raise energy use by up to 29 percent, per U.S. Department of Energy data.

One Train, Not Parts

Softening and filtration protect reverse osmosis membranes, so we design them together. Skip the pretreatment and you replace membranes on a schedule no budget wants.

Scope

Pretreatment, Done Properly

Hoffman Soft Water is led by a chemical engineer and has been in the field since 1998. We install and service pretreatment equipment. For boiler chemistry, cooling tower chemistry and other full-plant chemical programs, our parent company Hoffman Water handles that side. Not sure where to start? Our cost guide shows what drives the price of a commercial system.

FAQ

Commercial Water Treatment Questions

A commercial water treatment system conditions a facility's incoming water before it reaches equipment and processes. At Hoffman Soft Water that means pretreatment: ion exchange softening, multimedia and carbon filtration, reverse osmosis and deionization, engineered from a water analysis and backed by a service agreement.
It depends on what is in your water. A softener removes the calcium and magnesium that cause scale. Filtration removes suspended solids, chlorine and iron. Reverse osmosis removes the dissolved solids a softener leaves behind. Many plants need all three, designed as one train. A water analysis tells you which.
Commercial and industrial softening systems typically run $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on flow rate and configuration. We quote filtration and reverse osmosis after a water analysis. Our cost guide breaks down what drives the price, and the site assessment is free.
No. Our scope is pretreatment: softeners, filters, reverse osmosis and specialty treatment. Boiler chemistry and cooling tower chemistry are handled by our parent company, Hoffman Water, which runs full-plant chemical programs.
We serve facilities in Cincinnati, Dayton and Columbus and across Ohio and surrounding states, from our base in West Chester Township. Emergency service is available 24/7.
