Introducing SoftPro Water Systems

The Phillips Family Legacy

SoftPro Water Systems ain't just in it for the business; they're in it for the love of pure, clean water. Starting out with Craig "The Water Guy" Phillips back in 1990, Quality Water Treatment (QWT) quickly carved a name for itself by shaking up the water industry mold.

Craig wanted to shift away from scare tactics and crazy price tags, offering instead a simple promise: great water systems at a fair deal.

But Craig didn’t just want to sell kits. Oh no, he was all about innovation and making water better for everyone. This drive and passion trickle down through all of QWT, from the stuff they sell to the way they treat you.

His son, Jeremy Phillips, leads the sales charge with the famous Phillips honesty. Jeremy’s all about finding the right fit for you, rather than just flogging products. He makes sure you get what you truly need after giving your water a good once-over.

Then there's Heather Phillips, Craig's daughter, who keeps everything ticking like a well-oiled machine. From handling shipping and tech support to spinning out savvy marketing messages, Heather’s often the warm voice or the friendly email you’re greeted with from QWT. The Phillips clan makes sure everyone who contacts them feels like they matter.

Mission of Quality Water Treatment

Quality Water Treatment runs on three core beliefs:

1. Family-Owned & Operated: Running the biz like a family keeps it personal, keeps it real.

2. Customer-Centric Values: Fair prices, know-how sharing, and always-there support keep the trust strong.

3. Nationwide Reach, Hometown Feel: Whether you’re from big cities or small towns, QWT treats you like a lifelong neighbor.
   
   

Their goal? Give folks top-notch water treatment without breaking the bank. Craig put SoftPro Water Systems out there because he saw folks needed gear that was loaded with features but wasn’t going to drain a wallet dry.

With SoftPro, you’ve got the ECO Water Softener, the Elite Water Softener, and the Smart Home+ Water Softener to pick from—each built with the user in mind, from complete newbies to the high-tech crowd.

People in the know have kind words for SoftPro's gear because it’s a fine mix of power and green efficiency. Their advanced way of doing things uses a bunch less salt and water than the old-school kits. That means fewer wallet hits and an eco-sized footprint.

SoftPro gets heads nodding for good reason. They're leading the pack with smarty-pants engineering, user-friendly designs, and a solid customer safety net.

Got issues like hard water, those pesky rust stains, or mineral nightmares? SoftPro delivers solutions wrapped up in a bow of worry-free, better-quality water for US families up and down the land.
