Testimonials
“Greetings...Soft water is one of those things you really don’t appreciate until you have it in your own home. I had always understood that soft water was for folks who had problematic pipes or lived in the country - that was then! Since recently purchasing a machine from Salt of the Earth and having it installed in my own home I cannot believe all of its benefits. My husband has psoriasis and after having soft water, the psoriasis has not only decreased in its outbreaks but the frequent itching associated with such a skin problem have all but disappeared! I have also noticed a difference in the way it makes my hair feel and function. I am proud to say that I have officially acquired “rock star” hair. After each wash my hair feels cleaner and I don’t have to use near as much product as I used to need to with hard water. It is softer and healthier. I would also like to compliment you on your service. I was thoroughly impressed with Jake and Kris. What a professional, knowledgeable, pleasant team they were to have working in my home. The work they performed to install the machine was involved and they never cut any corners. They left my laundry room (where the machine was installed) looking cleaner then they found it!
It is not secret; I am a lifelong fan of soft water and Salt of the Earth. Thank you for such quality service at such an affordable price.

“You installed a soft water system in our home 2/24/11. This was after a home inspection and a sales present that was brief, factually and answered in questions in a manner that I could readily understand. You arrived on the promised day/time for installation. You completed job well within the projected timeframe. I don’t know anything about soft water systems, but I do know a first class plumbing installation when I see one and that’s what I got. Upon completion, you thoroughly explained how the system worked and we could expect. You made a special trip later in the day to deliver a salt supply even though there was plenty of salt in the system to last until you regular salt delivery day. So far, the salt usage is much lower then what we anticipated and the system works as promised with no noise or any other indicate that it is in our home. We are extremely pleased with our equipment and the whole experience of choosing Salt of the Earth. Please feel free to use us as a reference in dealing with other prospective customers.”

About US
Kris & jake Kreutzer
At ages 13 and 17 respectively, we began apprenticing for our dad, George Kreutzer. One to two days a week we would go directly from school and begin our weekly residential salt deliveries. Even before that we were unloading and stacking salt, it was a family affair. He established our company in 1980, back when we specialized solely in water softener and eventually agricultural salt. Though our services ebbed and flowed over time, we very slowly began to sell softeners in 2000. When we took over the family business in 2008 it was time to define the future of Salt of the Earth. In addition to the softener salt that we continue to sell, we started to establish our business as a leader in residential and commercial machine sales and service for the greater Spokane area. Most recently we’ve added ice melt to our repertoire of services, working primarily with our already well established salt and machine clientele.
