Does this product reduce mineral deposits as well as a water softener?

The EQ-300 is a filtration system, designed for reduction of chlorine, chlorine by-products, and other synthetic materials/chemicals. It is not designed for changing the mineral content of the water at all. You are actually looking for our salt free water softener, the EQ-AST-WH.

No it doesn't. This filter is designed to remove sediments and/or taste by purchasing a filter with activated charcoal. For those things it is excellent. To "soften" water and remove iron, you should consult a water treatment specialist. Get a good one with a good reputation. If they don't know what they are doing, you can spend a lot of money with no results.

Don't know. That hasn't been my experience. Has your water gotten harder with more minerals or sediment in it?

To my knowledge yes. Most softners use the ion exchange process to remove hardness by way of Calcium and Magnesium salts. What Rescare apparently does is to remove any surface fouling on the resins and thus improving the ion exchange process efficacy

Yes. Both my hair and my husband's hair has improved with this product. We also have a water softener.

Check with the specifications of your filtration system. Some water softeners only remove mineral deposits from your water, so if that's the case then yes you will benefit from this filter as well. If your system removes chlorine then there's no need to use this one. Although you could always buy one to take with you when you travel.

water filtration systems come in all shapes and sizes. What the water softener/conditioner is going to do for you is protect your fixtures specifically from damage caused by hard water. filtration systems are usually to protect yourself from the chemicals in the water not the calcium, which is actually an essential mineral humans need to survive. that's one of the reasons the Nuvo h2o system is beneficial, it doesn't remove the minerals that are good for you but simply allows them not to cling to your fixtures. hope this helps

Yes, basically what you have left is H2O. No salts from softeners, no chlorine, no minerals. Some say minerals and even bacteria are important to humans. If so I'd rather have my water pure and get minerals other ways. Dave

Yes, it removes calcium and magnesium in water,and you may not see or less of white precipitation.

I don't know but scale watcher does not make the water chemically softer it makes it feel softer the minerals do not stick to you or your pipes etc i am very glad we bought this

According to page 6 of the WaterBoss Owner's Manual issued 9/2/2009 (WB_Softener_v7.2_Manual), the only type of iron that can be treated with a water softener is Ferrous Iron (sometimes called clear water or dissolved iron). Model 900-IF (Iron Filter $399.00 at Home Depot)-Reduces iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, and iron bacteria. The WaterBoss 220 does improve our water quality but does still leave a little rust colored water in our water distiller (we have not a lot of iron but quite a bit of manganese). It also eliminates the sulfur smells.

We only use distilled water. That keeps it from having any mineral deposit build up, and extends the life of the machine.

Softeners primarily remove calcium and magnesium - minerals that are good for you. Potassium is important for body function as well, but too much potassium can cause serious issues. For drinking water, you might actually be better drinking hard water rather than softened water. I know that probably has caught you off guard, but honestly that is what you will discover if you do the research. To answer your question about potassium, no the Santevia system will not remove all the potassium. The system is designed to take out unwanted impurities and harmful substances and then it adds back more minerals to produce an alkaline water that is made alkaline by of the minerals it contains. It is made to mimic naturally purified, alkalinzed water found in deep, aquifers and uncontaminated springs. Although some of the minerals are diminished in concentration during the purifying process, they are not totally eliminated.

Yes, it removes fluoride from the water. For a complete list of all the chemicals it removes, see: http://www.waterwise.com/productcart/pc/lc_purity.asp

No, you just drop it in the upper right corner of the tank. It's colorless and it slowly dissolves minerals in the water to keep it looking clear in the toilet bowl. I use a similar product for my water softener that's a powder and you add it to the salt reservoir every month and during regeneration it runs through the mineral tank and cleans it out. Keeps it working at peak efficiency.oldtechuser

I have not experienced this however, it does reduce mineral buildup within the unit.

not sure if it will remove hard water spots, but the cleaner and polish seem to prevent the deposits from forming..
