Sustainability
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

Water Efficient Technology (W.E.T.)
How W.E.T. Works Smart, Adaptive Regeneration Traditional softeners regenerate the entire media bed whether it is fully used or not, wasting salt, water, and energy. W.E.T. technology uses five integrated control features that continuously analyze system performance and adjust each cleaning cycle to the exact amount of resin that has actually been exhausted. Instead of “over-cleaning” unused media, W.E.T. targets only the portion of the bed that needs regeneration, delivering measurable savings without sacrificing softening capacity or water quality. Core W.E.T. Features Proportional Brining Produces only the amount of brine needed to regenerate the portion of resin that has actually been used, reducing salt consumption and operating cost. Proportional Regeneration Adjusts backwash and rinse volumes to match real media usage, cutting water waste during each cleaning cycle. Alternate Regeneration Periodically performs a deeper cleaning cycle to prevent resin fatigue and maintain long-term softening performance. Salt Monitor Electronically verifies brine strength and alerts homeowners when salt levels are low to prevent incomplete regeneration. Savings History Screen Tracks actual salt and water usage and compares it to a conventional softener, displaying cumulative efficiency gains over time. Performance Benefits Engineered Efficiency with No Compromise W.E.T. systems combine adaptive control logic with counter-current regeneration and precision flow management to deliver both resource conservation and superior softening performance. Left unmanaged, conventional regeneration can result in: Unnecessary salt overuse Excessive wastewater discharge Reduced resin lifespan Higher operating costs W.E.T. technology addresses these issues by: Matching regeneration volume to resin loading Maintaining optimal exchange zone efficiency Reducing energy used for water heating and pumping Lowering environmental impact through resource conservation Why Choose Commers W.E.T. Systems Proven Technology Since 1947 Commers integrates W.E.T. into its highest-efficiency residential and commercial softeners, combining advanced control platforms with professional system sizing and installation.
