About

The Darrington Family have been water conditioning dealers since 1956. Arnold my father and Orville his brother operated as partners in a dealership originally based In Yankton SD. Back then the business was primarily portable exchange (PE) water softeners and iron and hydrogen sulfide PE filters. Rural areas and small towns suffered with hard and rusty water some exceedingly so. As a teenager I worked after school and during summer breaks backwashing and regenerating those tanks. In 1963 my father Arnold purchased our current dealership and moved to Mitchell. Arnold and Jacklyn operated the dealership for 13 years after which my brother Pat purchased the business in 1976. In 1981 my wife Joanne and I purchased the business and Pat moved to Arizona where he started a water conditioning dealership. Today we sell rent and service water softeners reverse osmosis units (RO) deionization treatment (DI)bottled water and coolers bottle-less coolers UV purification micron and sub-micron filtration salt sales and delivery along with chemicals to support all of the above. We can and do repair all brands of equipment if parts are available.
