Serving Edmonton and surrounding areas — free in-home water quality review
24/7
St. Albert homeowners often come to us after replacing a hot water tank sooner than expected. We test, explain the numbers, and size a softener that protects the next one.
Book a whole-home water softener installation and we'll include a reverse osmosis drinking water system — equipment and professional installation — at no extra cost. Soft water in every tap, plus bottled-quality drinking water at the kitchen sink.
How to claim
A properly sized softener removes the calcium and magnesium behind scale, spotting and dry skin — and protects every appliance in the house.
Multi-stage reverse osmosis under the kitchen sink for drinking water, coffee, ice and cooking that tastes the way it should.
Carbon and sediment filtration at your main line so every tap, shower and appliance in the house gets cleaner water.
Iron, sulphur, staining and hardness on acreage wells — treated in the right order, after a full on-site water test.
Edmonton draws from the North Saskatchewan River. Here's what that water does in your home, and the right way to treat it.
Repairs, tune-ups, filter changes and salt delivery — including on systems another company installed.
St. Albert is supplied through the regional system drawing on the North Saskatchewan River, so hardness tracks closely with Edmonton’s.
Newer Jensen Lakes and Riverside homes frequently have the plumbing loop ready, which shortens installation to a couple of hours.
Established Grandin and Akinsdale homes sometimes need a bypass added properly before a softener goes in — we handle that as part of the install.
We reply within one business day, Monday through Saturday.

Water education • know your water
Most homeowners shop for equipment first. We think it works better the other way around — understand what's in your water, then choose the system that actually treats it.
Hardness is dissolved calcium and magnesium picked up as water moves through the ground. It’s measured in mg/L (or grains per gallon): over 120 mg/L is considered hard, and Edmonton-region water typically runs 165–200 mg/L. It’s not a health hazard — but it’s rough on everything it touches, from your hot water tank to your skin.
A softener treats the whole house: it swaps hardness minerals so scale can’t form in pipes, tanks and appliances. Reverse osmosis treats one tap — usually the kitchen — pushing water through a fine membrane for bottled-quality drinking water. They solve different problems, which is why most homes pair both.
A softener that’s too small regenerates constantly and wastes salt; too large and it sits idle, letting resin foul. Proper sizing is based on your water hardness, household size and daily water use — which is why every Wise Choice quote starts with a water test, not a price sheet.
Recognize two or more of these? A free water assessment will confirm the hardness level in your home and show you exactly what a properly sized system would fix.
