About Waukesha Water Softener Co.
Waukesha Water Softener Co. is a trade name of ZeroGrain Water LLC, a Wisconsin company. This site exists because the softener question in Waukesha changed in October 2023, and the right answer for a house here depends on which side of that change it sits.
Call (262) 333-5451Mon to Fri, 7am to 5pmWhat we do and what we do not
We answer the phone, give one price, pick the right size, provide the equipment and book the installation. The plumbing on install day is done by a plumbing contractor holding a Wisconsin license. There is no sales visit, and install day is the first time anyone shows up.
We do not optimize softeners for the City of Waukesha's softener salt program; companies on the City's approved list do that. And the kitchen drinking faucet is never sold on its own: it is part of the whole-home system and nothing else.
Why Waukesha has its own site
No community wholly outside the Great Lakes basin had approval to draw Lake Michigan water until Waukesha got it, and the city's switch in October 2023 took its taps from roughly 21 grains to about 8. Many softeners here may still be set for the old water, and on the Waukesha sewer the City requires softeners in use to be optimized.
Around the city, homes on private wells saw none of that. A site that treated Waukesha like any other hard water town would serve neither group well.
Waukesha, the Village and Genesee
The City of Waukesha, 71,336 people in Wisconsin's 2026 estimate, and around it the Village of Waukesha, 8,501, and the Town of Genesee, 7,207. City homes are on the lake water system; the private wells around it draw groundwater that never changed.
Common questions
Is this site connected to the City of Waukesha?
No. It belongs to a private company, as the top of the page says, and it does not speak for the City or its softener salt program.
Do you optimize softeners under the City's program?
No. Optimization under the program is done by technicians on the City's list, each certified for particular brands. Where a house drains to the Waukesha sewer, that requirement covers any softener in use there, so ask on the call whether the brand we supply has a certified technician.
