We do not have a water softener system but the water guy said we should get one. Will this item work with a water softer system?

Well from my understanding this system will have to be installed before the water softener if that was the case. It's to remove cap in ur water

yeah, i wanna gonna say too, this goes AFTER a softener system.This cleans your regular tap water to make it drinkable.

Mine was just installed and I suggest a plumber do it unless one is handy with such chores. The manual says to change the filter annually and I find them on the internet for about $12. I don't know if having hard or soft water effects the life of the filter.

I do not know. We were unhappy with the softener and we have brass pipes. I am sorry we couldn't be more helpful.

Hi, I can't say for sure as I have she Noritz, but I have a water softener. I do know there are many recommendations that if you have hard water something should be done to prevent build up.I assume you're considering a tankless as a move away from a tank style water heater. If your tank style did not last many years I'd suggest something to protect the tankless. This of this. These units run water through small tubes that are heated to make hot water. These tubes wouldn't take much to be come clogged. Hope I was of some help.

No, a water softener would remove hardness. But this more or less polishes soft water to removes odor and flavor problems. It does take some lead, chlorine, and other bad tastes and odors.

No it does not, if You have hard water You'll need a water softener preferable after this. Amazon also sells an air injection birm resin unit that will soften as well as remove iron and sulfur.

Many filter systems use the FLeck valve, so it may have a fleck valve on it. If it looks similar to the picture, you are probably fine. The points to check, make sure you are ordering the correct valve, either a filter only, or a water softener type. Then make sure you have the threaded 2.5" opening for the valve to screw into the tank, and a 1" riser tube to fit into the pilot opening. Mark AFW Filters 785-735-9769

I think I remember the instructions mentioning to place the Clearwave before your softener. Either way, it should help because both products do the same thing but in different ways so the Clearwave should make your salt water softener more effective. If it doesn't, return it.

Also, technically, it's made out of salts, which is exactly what you use to soften your water. So, considering that, you definitely shouldn't have any trouble. ;)

Yes. We have a water softener system, although different from yours. The frog works on wet, and the type of water isn't a factor. It works fine for us.

I order one of these and put it on a Hague water softener it fit perfect I would say it would be a good chance it will work because the hole size in softener are pretty much standard

Maybe. I think it will depend on a couple of things... How much iron is in your water and what kind of softener program you have. Iron is one component of hardness so the more iron you remove the less hardness there is to correct. So given that, your softener MAY require less salt to do the job. I do know from talking with the manufacturer of the iron unit that the softener need to go AFTER the iron unit. Ours was predominantly an Iron problem and this unit seems to have corrected the majority of our problem. We haven't added a softener yet, but may; and the unit we get may be smaller because the iron unit is doing a great job. Maybe. I think it will depend on a couple of things...

I think that would be a different model... My old softener was a 12x48 tank and this one so far is working great... The old smaller system was regenerating every 4 days by a mechanical timer system. This one regenerates based on water usage and with our small household I've went the full maximum of 14 days before regeneration... I expect my salt usage will go way down... I really like it!! I had to redo my plumbing to accommodate the larger tank, but that wasn't too difficult and well worth the effort...

If referencing brewing. The water softener likely removes some of the iron content, but does significantly reduce the hardness. The removal of hardness would increase the effectiveness of Star San likely. However, I doubt that the iron or hardness concentrations are high enough to have a significant impact. Production ... ? Comes to taste.

It's easy to install but save your money. It doesn't do anything for your water. It's a scam. Put your money towards a real water softener.

Your dishwasher has to be one that can use this. Only very high end dishwashers have this function. It essentially softens the water once you adjust the level for the hardness of your water in your area. The dishwashers are expensive but worth it.

We don't have an under-the-sink RO system, but do have a single filter in our pump house for our incoming water supply before it goes through our water softener system in the house. We previously had a similar filter under the kitchen sink and used the same filter for it.
