Intermountain Soft Water - About Us

Intermountain Soft Water, Inc. was founded in the early 1950's in Orem, Utah by Albert Rowley and his partners. Finally incorporated in 1966 as a Utah corporation, Intermountain is one of the oldest continuously-held water improvement companies in the United States. Intermountain Soft Water was founded with a vision to develop, market and distribute high quality, environmentally friendly water improvement products and technologies at an affordable price. Our highly trained and motivated staff are dedicated to maintaining that vision through the 21st century. Intermountain is recognized globally as an innovator, pioneering on each front of the industry; The company and its various operating divisions are responsible for numerous advancements in the field, most importantly Evertech, Pur-Gard, Purafeel, Smart Bottle and Home Empowered Water System technologies. Robert Rowley is the current company president with Greg Reyneke and Rogan Rowley as the primary management team.
With specialized expertise in sophisticated electronics, chemistry, electromechanical equipment, and our understanding of government/industry regulations allow us to offer efficient, cost-effective and high quality systems for home, business & industry. Our experience & expertise also means a strong commitment to staying ahead of industry changes and trends. In addition to maintaining ISO 9001:2000 certification on certain manufacturing processes, FDA/EPA registration and regulatory compliance, we & our associates have built continuous evaluation and improvements into our processes, adhering to the principles of Lean manufacturing and Six Sigma. Strong partnerships in the electronic hardware & software industries have given us the ability to leverage some significant breakthroughs in automated systems control. In fact, Water Fountain, Purafeel, Smart Bottle and Home Empowered Water technologies are entirely impossible without the advanced digital hardware & software incorporated into our systems.

All of our products are engineered and manufactured to the highest quality standards. Water in the Intermountain West is 3 - 5 times harder than the national average. This can pose serious problems for water systems that are mass-produced for the lowest national averages. When designing a residential water system, many variables can negatively affect efficiency, performance and reliability, such as:- High Water Hardness: The harder your water is the larger a system must be to remove contaminants effectively. However, if the system is too large it will waste significant amounts of water and salt while potentially allowing your system to be contaminated with potentially harmful bacteria. High Water Pressure: Municipalities in the region could never have foreseen the massive population influx that has occurred. Cities are now forced to increase net pressures in piping distribution systems to push as much water as they can to new housing developments. High operating water pressure can raise attrition rates and cause premature failure in equipment. Low water temperature: Although cold water tastes good, it is not good at all for water softening, conditioning or filtration equipment. Due to viscosity and kinetics issues, cold water has been proven to reduce system operating capacities by as much as 60%. Undersized systems will have a much greater chance of failing when the influent water temperature drops below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Chlorine & Chloramine: All ion-exchange based water softening, conditioning and filtration systems can degrade at a minimum average rate of 5% - 10% per year (attrition) due to chlorine alone. Structured Matrix media has a much slower chlorine attrition rate than traditional softening resins. Iron & Heavy metals: Resin attrition is further exacerbated by factors such as high water consumption, inadequate regenerations, elevated chlorine levels, iron & heavy metals in water. Even after leaving the city plant meeting or exceeding EPA minimum standards, your water can absorb and collect contaminants such as copper, zinc, lead, rust, manganese and a host of others before it even reaches your home. These are obviously potentially harmful to humans, but even more dangerous to your water equipment unless it is specifically designed to address these threats. Heterotrophic Plate Count Bacteria (HPC’s): Your city produces water that is free of bacteria and safe to consume. HPC’s can exist naturally in piping, water meters, fittings and regulating valves. These organisms are generally benign but can become the growth medium for potentially pathogenic bacteria. HPC’s can grow and colonize in a water system in as little as 4 days, even with chlorine or chloramine in the water. If your water system is not specifically sized & designed to address HPC growth issues, then your system could be a ticking bacterial time-bomb. Our systems are specifically designed to use Pur-Gard or Pur-Gard Plus as well as regenerating appropriately to mitigate this risk. Even when you're away from home for extended periods of time, your Intermountain system will periodically clean and sanitize itself to ensure that you have clean, safe water waiting for your return without wasting any salt.
