Can we please clone Erich! We use Besco at my employer and we love him! He is very efficient, friendly, hard working and an all around nice guy! He follows our requests and instructions and is knowledgeable! A HUGE improvement to the route for sure!
Ran into Erich at a gas station and asked what Besco was, he did such an amazing job explaining to me what it is he does and what the company does! Very informative and I think I may just be interested in joining! He gave me his information to reach him... as well for when I want to get started.read more
Besco has been great! They've been providing water for my workplace for several years. Erich (not Eric... it's spelled wrong on his uniform!) has been our new delivery driver the last couple of months -- great communication, open to feedback, and gets us... what we need in our multiple locations within the building. Customer Service has always been very helpful as well when I need to call and change my order.read more
Installed new water softner for me. Arrived on time, were very friendly on the phone and in person, and were super helpful answering any questions I had about the new system. Would recommend.
Erich does a great job always tending to our companies needs and always having the needed products on the truck we need. Great amazing service all around.
We setup service to have a water cooler with delivery every month. Erich was our delivery driver and did such an amazing job with helping us figure out what we needed and helping us get setup efficiently. Explained everything very well for us. Very... satisfied with this service and have saved a lot of money and garbage by switching from water bottles to this service. Thanks Erichread more
Excellent receptionist service with helping me find new parts for a very old water purifier! Then two days later, excellent service with delivering my salt. Erich went above and beyond to get the delivery exactly where it is easiest for me to get at ... Five BIG stars!!!read more
Clyde was very friendly and professional! We would recommend this company to put in a water softener! We also had to get a RO filter placed and it’s working nicely! We can tell a difference in the taste of our water and no hard water stains!When I was... calling around to get our quote and water tested Besco had the best price and came less than a week after I called to inquire vs the other places in Battle Creek were a month out from even giving us a quote!read more
Had Besco come out to set up a water softener system for my house in Cedar Springs, from start to finish everyone from the office staff to the plumber that did the installation was professional and friendly. Their plumber that did the installation did a... very good job taking his time to ensure everything was done right and done well. He made sure to answer all of my questions and explained how the system should work and that moving forward if I had any other questions or concerns to reach out and they would be happy to assist. So far everything is working great and I can tell there is a definite improvement in my water quality.read more
I just stopped in to get clarification regarding my bill. Friendly staff explained how the billing works. I have had a unit 8n my house for years and it has preformed flawlessly. Also can't beat the rate in the Battle Creek area
This is a fantastic company. Culligan denied me and treated me like a second class citizen. I called this company because their website indicated that they offered gallons of water at a cheaper rate than Culligan.Not only did they hook me up with... water service, they approved me for a water cooler(which Culligan would not do) AND I saved $2.00 per month on the cooler and $1.00 per bottle than what Culligan would have tried getting from me.From the moment I called Besco, I felt welcome and wanted. The only downside is that the guy had to run a credit check, and he never called back to provide my status. I had to call back and get it. Not too big of an issue, but I give honest reviews so I felt it needed to be mentioned.read more

Great communication, timely arrival, courteous, wore shoe covers, experienced residential water treatment professionals; mine is an OLD system but Besco staff have made the most of it until it can be replaced: sediment filter, prefilter, postfilter, water... pressure and softener performance tests; 30day revisit program.

Great place to get 5 gallon water refills. Ladies at counter always nice. And the guys loading full bottles in your car are always smiling and cheerful 😊 Great Prices
Decided to go with Besco for soft water in our home. They sent Clyde to price it and Michael to install the unit. Both men were very knowledgeable and friendly. Michael started working the minute he hit the driveway and didn't stop until he was done,... very impressive. This is an easy 5 stars.read more
Just bought my first house with a water softener. The Besco team has been great at helping me get acquainted with it. Good communication, good prices. Also got the reverse osmosis filter for drinking water- highly recommended.
After building a new home, the initial water system recommended and installed by another company was unable to purify our water after several attempts and tweaks. Gerrit was able to identify their error and install a brand new system while providing... exceptional customer service. We have been impressed by the quality of water his system produced and the attention he was able to provide us.read more
I've been working with Gerrit at Besco. Last spring, we upgraded our system based on his analysis and recommendations. Our particular well water is very challenging to say the least, but Gerrit has worked diligently with us to achieve clear water. He... has responded almost immediately to all of our inquiries along the way, and he does not hesitate to do what it takes to solve problems. He's calm and articulate as he problem solves. I don't know what your experience has been getting contractors to work with you quickly and effectively over the past few years, but I've found it difficult to get them to return calls and schedule service in a timely manner. Gerrit and Besco, however, respond immediately and schedule service quickly. Rare quality and service! I highly recommend Gerrit and Besco.read more

Besco was recommended to us by our plumbing contractor. I worked with Connie about a year ago to have a water softener installed in our home and went back recently to purchase a plumbed-in commercial Keurig coffee brewer for our home as well. Connie is... very knowledgeable and helpful! I would recommend Besco.read more
Recently had my water softener upgraded and decided to go with Besco. From the initial visit through install and even after they have been wonderful. I highly recommend them if you're looking to upgrade.
Great company to work with and very knowledgeable. We had Connie out to test our water because of the great reference our parents gave us about their experience and water system they have through Besco. Connie took the time to tell us what we should do... for our well water and followed up with a very informative email and report of the water test. They also didn't pressure us or try to sell us systems we don't need. Overall it was a great experience.read more
I had a wonderful experience with Besco Warer Treatment. I'm a seasonal resident and didn't know there were steps to take before closing up after the summer. As a result, I had horribly hard water on my return visit, my silver hair was stained yellow,... and some of my water lines were clogged with sediment. Mike, one of their technicians, went above and beyond to help me! He advised me on how to try and salvage my softener (that's not even their brand), and Besco tested my water every five or six days to see if the hardness was changing. They could have sold me an iron filter (what I thought I needed), or told me my resin tank was shot, but they didn't. All told, it cost me $88 to get back up and running. I wasn't exactly a cash cow customer! I highly recommend this ethical company.read more
Just had a reverse osmosis installed and a water softener system. The level of service Gerrit and Connie demonstrated was OUTSTANDING!! I shopped Maynards, Bayes and Godwin and nothing could beat these guys!! From the initial call to the install it was a... class act and a great deal! Thank you.read more
I can't even tell you how many years I have had Besco deliver water to my home (and my work). It is the best tasting water period. Their service is excellent!
At Besco Water Treatment, we know how important clean, pure water is for your daily life and home. Hard water can cause many problems because it has many minerals, such as magnesium and calcium. It can damage pipes and make appliances work poorly. Our modern water softeners are made to fix these issues, giving you soft water that’s great for your home.
This page will show why installing a water softener is a good idea. We’ll explain how our different systems can help with your home’s specific water problems. We want to help you understand how to pick the right Besco system for your home. This way, you can enjoy all the good things about soft water every day.
A water softener is a device installed in a home or office that removes minerals such as calcium and magnesium from hard water, making it softer and more suitable for household use. If not treated, these minerals can lead to scale buildup in pipes and reduce the effectiveness of soaps and detergents.
According toEnergy.gov, “There are many water softeners on the market, but almost all rely on the same principle—ion exchange, a chemical process that substitutes sodium (sometimes potassium) for the minerals that make water hard.” In the ion exchange process, hard water passes through a tank of resin beads charged with sodium ions. As tap water flows through, the beads attract and capture the mineral ions, replacing them with sodium, resulting in softer water.
Besco Water Treatment softeners incorporate advanced technology to soften your home’s water efficiently. “Our systems are built for longevity and user-friendliness, ensuring your household enjoys soft water with minimal upkeep,” says General Manager Ken Morgan. We specialize in providing tailored water treament solutions that match Michigan’s unique water composition.

Why Do I Need to Install a Water Softener in My Home?
Hard water can cause numerous problems in your home, making a water softener a valuable investment. The effects of hard water include:
Clogged pipes and reduced efficiency of your water heater
Unsightly stains on fixtures and appliances
A film left on dishes after washing
Dry skin and hair after showering
Stiff and dull-looking clothes after laundry
A water softener removes excess minerals, protecting your plumbing and appliances while improving water quality for everyday use. According to theMinnesota Department of Health, the benefits of installing a water softener are that it:
“Prevents buildup of minerals (scale) on the inside of pipes, fixtures, and hot water heaters.
Lengthens the life of some appliances.
Reduces or prevents mineral spots on glassware.
Prevents or reduces soap films and detergent curds in sinks, bathtubs, and washing machines.”
At Besco Water Treatment, we understand hard water’s impact on your home and daily life. Our expert team can assess your water quality and recommend the perfect water softener solution for your needs. By installing a Besco water softener, you’ll enjoy softer skin and hair, cleaner dishes, brighter laundry, and extended lifespans for your water-using appliances. In addition, you’ll save money on energy bills and reduce the need for harsh cleaning products. Let us help you experience the benefits of soft water in your home today.
How Do I Determine if I Need a Water Softener?
Wondering if you need a water softener? Look for these signs:
Soap scum and spotty dishes after washing
Soap that doesn’t lather well
Dry skin or dull hair after showering
White crust around faucets or showerheads
Clothes that feel stiff after washing
Having water heater issues. According to thisBob Vila article, “One of the most costly and inconvenient signs that you need a water softener is having your water heater malfunction or fail.”

For a more accurate result, Besco Water Treatment offers free water testing. “We’ll come to your home and check your water right there,” says Manager Ken Morgan, “Our experts will explain the results and help you decide if a water softener would be good for your home.”

Smart Water Plus Extractor
Do you have problems with iron or sulfur in your water? Our Smart Water Plus Extractor can help. This system cleans your water without using any harsh chemicals. Here’s how it works:
Oxidation: The Extractor mixes air into your water. The oxygen in the air reacts with iron, sulfur, and manganese in the water, turning them into tiny particles.
Filtration: These particles then get caught in a special filter, removing them from your water.
The result? Water that’s clear, odor-free, and iron-free every time you turn on the tap. The best part is that the filtered water still has lots of good oxygen in it.
Want even better water? You can add a Besco Series water softener after the Extractor. This will also remove calcium and magnesium, which make water “hard.”
With the Smart Water Plus Extractor, you can say goodbye to water that smells like rotten eggs or leaves rust stains. Check outthis brochure or give us a call at (800) 964-0257 to learn more about how this system can improve your water quality.
