Advantage Water Conditioning, Inc. was started in the Flathead Valley in March of 1982 by Ted and Stephanie Luehr. Since then, they have installed water softeners and filters in thousands of homes across Northwest Montana and the business’ vehicles can be seen regularly throughout the Flathead. Advantage Water actively participates in the Chamber of Commerce, Flathead Business Group and various charities. They have also participated in the Northwest Montana Fair for the past 35 years.

Ted and Stephanie Luehr, both long-time Montana residents, have lived in the Flathead Valley since 1977 and raised their five children here. All of their children have been actively involved in the business since grade school, particularly during the Northwest Montana Fair. In 2004, after completing a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, their oldest son Nick became a full-time partner.
