my water softener is shot but I had also installed an iron filter with it can I install this product and keep my iron filter installed with it?

You can but this system also filters the iron content. You don't need anything else with this system.

Yes, that is recommended if you have high iron and this will take care of any residual left in your water. Install this unit inline after your iron filter. Let me know if you have any other questions. AFW Filters 785-735-9769

this is what I am using one for. my filter backwashes at 10GPM and seems to work without backing up. depends on the size of your softener and what type of soil you have.

This is NOT a water softener. That said, there is probably a minor bit of softening occurring as it does its iron removal. But if you have high iron, this is ideal in combination with a softener, as the softener by itself isn't as efficient at iron removal as this unit is. If you don't already have a water test analysis by an independent lab---then get one and have it available when you make system decisions for your household water. test run 100- 200 dollars, but worth the investment. Be wary of companies that are selling softening/filter equipment who offer you "free" water analysis. That presents a clear conflict of interest. This is NOT a water softener.

It will filter sediment but iron may need a water softener and then only they are limited as to how much is filtered.

Although I have owned several Waterboss water softeners (currently in 2 homes), I have not had the misfortune of having to repair or replace any parts. I suppose you can purchase them directly from the factory.

I'm not sure if you have to but, to extend the life of the iron, I use bottled water due to the fact that we have hard well water.

This is a great filter. I don't believe it will interfere with the water softener, since it attaches at the shower spout. You should consult the installer.

No, this is not a water softener. It will not filter out the majority of the heavy minerals in the water.

That is exactly what I did. I just don't know if the magnetic water softener works.

I reviewed the other answers, they are spot on, my only other advice is to make sure your water is very cold and add an additive to take out hard water minerals if you aren't using filtered water.

It uses a fine mesh resin for softening and iron removal. Give us a call 785-735-9769 so we can better explain this system and go over your water treatment needs to direct you to some options that may work for your water. AFW Filters

You could do it a few different ways. The way you described your series sounds like it will work. I put the pressure regulator directly on the source so none of my components get damaged. The filter may last longer if it is inline on the "soft side" of the softener since there would be less particulate in the water (in theory). I would also recommend keeping the softener in the shade because it heats up quickly on a sunny day! Enjoy your shower!

Hi Judith . Does your machine use this type of filter ? If yes, the filter should go into a filter holder in the water supply tank. Follow the instructions about soaking the filter in clean water for a short time and then rinsing it with clean water prior to installing. It's an easy procedure..

I wouldn't combine the two. Especially if you get the filter running again. What is wrong with your filter? If you can't get it running, I'd suggest adding more salt and some fresh water.

Everyting but the water filter pellets. Have to buy those yourself. There should he a bought together frequently suggestion. I've had this since last fall, and it's been great. Only complaint is that my resting rubber pad that came with it blisters up if it gets too hot, even though I don't keep my iron on my ironing board any more while it's in use and have a cooling rack beneath the resting rubber pad. Might want to buy your own....

We had all sorts of issues with our water- ph, hardness, high oxidized iron, manganese etc. I called one manufacturer for a different softener to get a recommendation based on our levels and he said there was nothing he could recommend in good conscience and we should just hAve a new well drilled. Unwilling to give up we did more research and bought and installed this. I can happily say our hardness and iron is completely resolved and we shocked our well to take care of manganese. We will deal with ph at a later date. I'm thrilled with this purchase and highly recommend this softener/filter for iron issues. Good luck!
