Will it remove the salt from my water softner?

Yes it does get everything out of the water. The things that come out are left on the inside of the pot. I have lime in my water and it leaves a mess of slime in the bottom. I use CLR to clean the pot. The water seems to be clean, because it does not build up in my coffee pot like it did.

It doesn't remove all the minerals, but it is much softer then most water. I think it will take much longer time for humidifier to build up as I have the same problem with my tea pot - residue. It took much longer time for the residue to be seen then with other water.

You need a reverse osmosis (RO) system or a distillery for salt water (seawater). This is for fresh water only, IF it did filter out salt it might only filter out a total of 1/2 cup of salt. You should try it and let us know how it works.

They work well, had a salt softener, but was not happy with how soap seemed hard to rinse off. Even with salt softener my toilets would still get a ring from the hard water. I put two on my water lines and have not seen rings, or any hard water build up in the toilet since.

I have a freshwater tank so 'I' can't say for sure about saltwater .. My daughter has a saltwater tank and said that removing water is the only way to 'lose' salt percentages ..

The general water softner works in the same principle, includning this model. It removes some radium in the ion exhange per this article http://www.idph.state.il.us/envhealth/factsheets/radium.htmI am no pro. You should verify this with a professional.

im not sure. I had a softener for 15 years before I bought this. I still use the softener... all I can say, is that my water is 10x better than before.

Is effective in removing fluoride. No too sure about salt as my water supply has no traces of salt before. Is easy for both workings for me.

Just use the normal salt pellets for water conditioners sold at Lowes, Kmart, etc. If you have iron in your water use the bags marked for iron. It will take it out along with making the water soft.

The instructions I read said, no. Need Dishwasher Water Softener Salt. I don't know the difference, but I did not want to take any chances with my expensive dishwasher.

I cannot say for sure, but it does work on coarse Himalayan salt. I am still playing with it.

If you have any mineral content in your water it will slowly plug your machine and you will have to decalcify more often. Also removes any mineral taste you might have.

No just works with the filter but doesn't have that silky feel like salt water systems do.

The filter will not remove salts in the water, so it'd be safe to assume that fluoride also will not be removed. You need a reverse osmosis setup for fluoride removal. I'd like to see an answer from Lifesaver on this just to be sure.

Electronic water softeners magnetically charge the mineral ions that form scale to be less (or non) "sticky", so the minerals are still there, they just don't stick to pipes, etc. -- and are even removing my existing mineral deposits. Funny side-effect: All the potassium coming out of my pipes is giving bath water a rather nice blue tint. Doesn't give that slippery feeling you get with salt-based softeners. This is a good entry-level unit. There are more-expensive units for high-volume commercial applications out there. Try one, and keep an eye on the results.

If you already have a salt-based water softener IN GOOD WORKING ORDER and it's still not enough, then this item will probably make little difference.

Yes it stated on the bottle that it will work salt, and all types of filters/pumps.
