OUR HISTORY

Back in 1919, Edward Pansie and his wife Mabel moved from Wisconsin to Spokane and built a garage. This building became Pansie's Auto Shop. It stood as a bustling, family-owned business. They kept adding to the building, and Spokane became their home. The second level of our building is where they lived. To this day, the upper level retains the kitchen and living area they built.

In 1931, the building was separated into four sections: a barber shop, a shoe repair shop, an auto repair shop, and one apartment. It eventually housed the Spokane Chess Club, the Washington Technical Institute, Karrington Boat Repair, Sarah's Beauty Salon, the Spokane Karate Club, and Lindsay Softwater.

In 1989, Sweney Servisoft and Lindsay Softwater merged companies to become EcoWater. Lindsay Softwater served Spokane from 1949 until 2017. In 2020, H2O Solutions purchased Lindsay Softwater and brought EcoWater back into the Spokane area. This is where we stand today. Visit us to learn more.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do you offer plumbing services?

We recommend contacting H2O Solutions for local plumbing services. We offer the installation and servicing of EcoWater systems.

What is a drinking water warning?

There are different kinds of drinking water advisories.

"Boil Water Advisory" asks the community to boil any tap water they consume. This is to prevent the consumption of germs in tap water that cause sickness.
"Do Not Drink Water Advisory" informs the community that your tap water has harmful chemicals in it that cannot be removed by boiling the water.
"Do Not Use Water Advisory" communicates that the water may have radioactive materials, toxins, chemicals, and germs. Any kind of contact with the water can have harmful side effects, including bathing.

How much water should I drink a day?

How much water you should drink a day varies by age, weight, diet, exercise, pregnancy, etc. It is recommended you contact a medical professional for an exact number. You can consume too little water or too much water if you are not careful.

What is hard water and what is a water softener?

Hard water is water containing a high mineral content. The consumption of hard water can lead to dry hair, dry nails, and digestive issues. A water softener system removes hard minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, from your water supply.

Ion exchange allows hard water minerals to be replaced with softer minerals such as sodium or potassium. This takes place in the water softener resin, an essential component of the water softener system.

With one of our water softeners, every one of your pipes, fixtures, and appliances receives the benefits of soft water. EcoWater filters feature high-quality resins that are backed by a lifetime warranty, ensuring reliable performance and long-lasting value. Reach out to us. We'll help determine the best water softener for your home.

What is the difference between a water conditioner and a water softener? Which is more beneficial?

Water conditioners and water softeners both aim to improve water quality. However, they work in different ways, offering varying levels of effectiveness.

A water conditioner doesn't remove hard minerals like calcium and magnesium from your water. It alters the structure of the minerals, preventing them from forming scale deposits on your fixtures and appliances.

A water softener removes these hard minerals from your water supply through ion exchange. By replacing hard minerals with softer minerals like sodium or potassium, a water softener provides a more comprehensive solution and addresses hard water issues. Water softeners are generally considered more beneficial than water conditioners.

Softened water can lead to smoother hair and skin, improved laundry, and extended lifespan of plumbing and water-using appliances.

Consult one of our water treatment professionals to find the best water treatment for you. We specialize in water softening systems and help determine whether a water softener or a water conditioner is the best option for your home. With our expert guidance, you can make an informed decision.

Do Brita filters remove PFAs?

EcoWater filters reduce 98.9% of PFAs, PFOs, microplastics, lead, and any harmful contaminants in your water.

What are the benefits of soft water and water softening?

Water softening systems reduce scaling on appliances, prolonging their lifespan and maintaining their efficiency. Soft water prevents mineral deposits on your fabrics. Your skin and hair will feel more smooth, as soft water doesn't strip natural oils.

A soft water system extends the life of your plumbing and appliances, saving you money in the long run. Investing in the best water treatment system improves your overall water quality, leading to a healthier, more comfortable home environment.

How much does installation cost, and where can I find water softener companies near me?

The best water softener for well water depends on the water chemistry and hardness levels. We at EcoWater Spokane offer complimentary water testing. We'll help you determine the best water system for your home.

What is the difference between water softener salt and potassium chloride water softener?

Sodium chloride, commonly known as softener salt, is the most frequently used regenerant in salt-based softening systems. This salt removes hard minerals from your supply through ion exchange. Alternatively, potassium chloride is another option for these systems. It's often the preferred choice for those on a low-sodium diet or with environmental concerns regarding sodium discharge.

Both sodium chloride and potassium chloride options are effective in conditioning your supply, but the best choice depends on personal preferences and specific health or environmental considerations. Consulting with one of our water treatment experts is advisable if you're uncertain about the right option for your needs.

What is a salt-free water softener, and how do saltless water softeners work?

A salt-free water softener, also known as a saltless water softener or salt-free water conditioner, is a water treatment system that does not use salt or potassium chloride for softening. These systems use alternative methods, such as template-assisted crystallization (TAC) or electronic descaling to alter the structure of hard minerals. While salt-free water softeners do not entirely remove hard minerals, they can be an eco-friendly and low-maintenance option for reducing scale buildup.

We at EcoWater Spokane will do a complimentary analysis of your water and find the most effective water-softening system to meet your home needs.

How do sodium systems impact the environment? What are the benefits of saltless water conditioners?

Traditional salt-based water softener systems can have negative environmental impacts due to the salt discharge they produce. They can affect water sources and ecosystems.

Saltless water softeners are an eco-friendly alternative, also known as salt-free or potassium chloride water softeners. They don't use salt or potassium chloride and don't produce brine discharge. This makes them a more sustainable option. Saltless water softeners require less maintenance compared to traditional systems. If you're concerned about the environmental impact of water softening systems, reach us at EcoWater Spokane for more information.

What should I consider when choosing the best water softener system for my home?

The ideal water conditioning system for you depends on your water's hardness level, the size of your household, budget constraints, and any particular environmental or health requirements you may have. Reach us and we'll find the perfect water system for your household.
