Saving Water & Salt Through Smarter Technology
Commers’ patented Water Efficient Technology (W.E.T.) is a core example of how sustainability guides our engineering. Rather than using the same amount of water and salt for every cleaning cycle — as older systems do — W.E.T. only uses what’s needed based on your household’s actual water use. This leads to:
- up to 50% less water used in regeneration cycles
- up to 50% less salt consumed per cleaning
- overall savings of both resources compared to traditional softeners
- tracked results visible through system displays and the wripli® mobile app
These proportional features mean customers use less water and salt without sacrificing performance.
Reducing Environmental Footprint with Technology
Water conservation and reduced chemical use are built into many Commers solutions:
- Systems designed to remove chlorine, herbicides, pesticides, VOCs, and PFAS reduce harmful chemicals from entering your home plumbing and wastewater.
- Efficient regeneration cycles and adaptive reserves mean less overall consumption of resources.
- Smart system monitoring through apps like wripli® encourages preventative maintenance, reducing needless service trips and associated emissions.
These technologies align sustainability with everyday performance — helping homeowners significantly cut waste, avoid unnecessary resource use, and support long-lasting equipment.
Custom Solutions for Local Water Conditions
Sustainability also means matching treatment systems to the actual water in your home or business. Commers begins with professional water testing to understand hardness, iron, chlorine, and dissolved solids. Personalized system designs ensure:
- correct sizing — avoiding oversized systems that waste water and energy
- appropriate contaminant removal — reducing unnecessary chemical use
- long-term performance with minimal maintenance
This targeted approach protects equipment life, reduces waste over the system’s lifespan, and avoids unnecessary resource consumption.
Community & Environmental Responsibility
As a Minnesota company since 1947, Commers is rooted in local stewardship:
- We educate customers about resource use and water quality
- Provide technologies that extend equipment life and reduce environmental impact
- Support innovations that lessen the footprint of residential and commercial water treatment
By helping families and businesses make smarter choices about their water systems, Commers contributes to broader conservation goals and responsible water use.
Why Sustainable Water Treatment Matters
Water is essential, and efficient management has environmental, financial, and social value. By reducing waste, minimizing chemical footprint, and optimizing system performance, Commers helps customers:
- save on utility and salt costs
- reduce discharge of pollutants and excess salt into the environment
- increase the lifespan of appliances and plumbing
- support regional water sustainability through reduced demand
