Can this be used in a home with a water softener?

Iam sorry Helen but I couldnt answer your question because I am Honestly Not sure as water softening makes the water very silky and no idea how it will affect the cooler mechanism

I don't see why not. I would highly recommend adding an inline water filter.

Probably one of the best installations since there is less likelihood of mineral deposit build up.

I would not but this unit. The Hot water never worked and now the cold water is not working either. A complete rip off...

Only if you get the unit with the pump that helps with homes with low water pressure. Most homes don't need it.

That is true. We have all house soft water except the cold water in the kitchen. We were able to link it into that.

Yes you can. If you have really hard water you will get a white film on your furniture. Even with the demineralization cartridge I have a white film on my furniture, but we do have very hard water. I still have to clean the dang thing.

Yes, but as with any appliance how well that works depends on the quality--particularly the hardness of your water. G'luck!

Yes, this water softener will work with the Aqua-Ionizer. However, in some situations, it may reduce the mineral content of your water too much, which COULD prevent you from receiving the maximum benefits from the ionizer. If after installing the softener you find this is the case, you can simply add an inline re-mineralization filter to compensate for the minerals that were removed. If you have further questions about softener or the additional re-mineralization filter, don't hesitate to contact us.

The location should be okay, since most water softeners are plumbed to be the first place the water goes when entering the house, but as far as the PVC issue goes, I would check Eddy's website. You can probably find the answer there.

Even though this filter helps to soften water in your house, still a regular softener is more efficient.I would suggest to start with this filter anyway because it is better for your health to remove chlorine,and then add a softener if your water remains hard.

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.

Yes!! We just put a bag and a half of the salt for water softeners that you can buy at a hardware store. It worked really well. I believe you need to have a special salt-water pump, though, which Intex sells. Trying to use salt water with a normal pump might cause damage.

It does not do well with normal house water pressure. I would think using it with a pressure washer would be a disaster.

It would not work for a whole house filter but it could be dedicated to the cold water line at a kitchen sink for example. The thread size of the filter head connections limit the line size and losses within the filter limit the flow and pressure. You may not have the pressure and flow rate you normally expect.

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.

Yes, but it will be quite expensive depending on the hardness of your water. If you need purer water than comes out of your tap, I suggest a reverse osmosis system. It wont be 0 ppm, but it will be close and much more economical in most situations. You will still have to make the amount you need and then wash with it as the deionization resin and the r/o system are both kinda slow.

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.

You can attach it to your cold water line under your sink, or anywhere you have a cold water line, really, if your home is on a softening system already then it would hook up the same. I'd. Ask the manufacturer about how it would affect the filter life.

I installed a double set close to the main water supply and before my water softener. If you change the filters regularly you should have no issues.
