We’ve gone to special trouble to clean/purify our water further and would rather not have chlorine in the lines — or other harmful agents to clean the line. I appreciated the reminder (from Peterson Salt) to change my filters.

You were easy to work with, had a good product at a reasonable price and will be close by for future service. I like doing business with people in the neighborhood. I also got a glowing recommendation from my friends!

This year marks the 25th birthday of Peterson Salt and Water Treatment. For a quarter century now our family owned company has prided itself in serving the Minneapolis community with quick, friendly service and fair prices. We first began our business in the city of St. Louis Park in 1987 and have since then expanded our service area to include all cities within a 45 minuite radius of our new location in Hopkins, MN. We travel as far west as Norwood Young America, as far north as Blaine, as far south as Jordan, and as far east as Oakdale and the other St. Paul suburbs. (For a complete list of the cities we serve, click here.)

In honor of our 25th birthday, Peterson Salt is offering a special deal to all of our customers. From now until the end of 2012, you will save $50 off of the purchase price of a new water softener when you mention the ad on our Web site.

There may not be much need for ice melt yet this winter, but it’s Minnesota, so we know that eventually the snow will come. It always does. At this rate, we might just be shoveling our driveways into the month of May.

At Peterson Salt & Water Treatment we’re always thinking ahead and we want our customers to be prepared with a stock quality ice melt for the day when the snow arrives. Keeping your driveway clear of snow and ice will help prevent cracks or other damage to the concrete.

For more information on the sidewalk salts available at Peterson salt, make sure to look at our new Ice Melt product page. On our Web site you can now read detailed information about all of the de-icing products we carry including, Halite, Thaw Master, Power Thaw, Calcium Chloride, FreezGard and Ice No Mor.

If you order your water softener salt from Peterson Salt, make sure to ask about adding a bag of ice melt with your next delivery. Each of our de-icing products is available in 50LB bags, as well as some smaller, easier-to-handle sizes.

Nowadays most of us purchase our clothing from the department store, and we don’t really give much thought to how our clothes get their colors. What we do think about is how to take care of our clothes so that they don’t lose their shape or color.

If you have ever worked with fabric dye, you know that one trick of the trade is to add salt to your dye bath. Mixing a cup of salt into the dye bath will brighten the colors of natural fabric fibers to give you a more vibrant final product.

Did you know you can use a variation of this home remedy when washing laundry, too? A few pinches of salt dissolved with your laundry soap will help keep your colors bright. Adding salt to the laundry is especially beneficial if you are washing with hard water. Hard water originally got its name because of the difficulty it causes in washing. The minerals in hard water (like calcium and magnesium) cause the formation of an insoluable substance that prevents soap from lathering.

If you are washing with hard water, you should look into getting a water softener for your home. Softened water contains higher levels of sodium and will be more gentle to your laundry. Soft water will keep your whites whiter and your colors more vibrant. For a list of the water sofeners sold by Peterson Salt and Water Treatment, click here.

If you have more questions on the benefits of soft water, or if you would like to inquire about a water softener for your home or business, please send an e-mail to sales@petersonsalt.com or call us at (952) 929-0422.
