can you feed softened water into the system?

Yes. I have many customers that have older houses with conventional plumbing that have both a soft water conditioner & RO system

We run softened well water into the ro unit and the water quality is great.

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.
63819
Yes you can. It will just filter the water more thoroughly essentially making better tasting water.

It should not make any differences whether you plumb it from a well or after a water softener unit. You should get the unit with a chemical adding filter to add vitamins and nutrients back into the water regardless. The water softener unit will take the hardness minerals out of the water before the reverse osmosis system does.

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. ;)

Check with the manual if they allow water softener? I just remove my unit from the shop after 2 months use because I need bigger size. my unit is like new condition If you interest I can sale it to you. Good luck

Yes. You can practically put anything in this unit. With water only or with special product added for extra boost.

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.

I asked the guy who installed my softener and he says is ok to mix. And yes you can use it in feeder

Normally, you would use a twin tank water softener to supply a boiler - this so that you will always have an uninterrupted 24/7 supply of soft water - required when supplying make-up to a boiler. A more suitable one for this application 15 HP application would be found by searching Amazon using ASIN B000GEBZC2. We are assuming that you feed pipe size is ¾". Please let us know if you have any questions, CAI Technologies

I if your tap eater is very hard, you should use distiller water. Otherwise, medium to soft should be ok.

No that would be a great idea. I just dump all the water and refill with fresh water.

no, because you can put the water return head at the surface of the water, so only the filtered water is pours back in. i would still do regular water changes. hope this helps.

My house had already been plumbed for a water softener, so all I had to do is turn the main water valve off and hook it up. If the home has not been plumbed, and you want to soften all the water in the house, you have to put a loop in the input water supply where it first comes into the house. If you want to do only hot water you put the loop just before the input to the hot water heater. By loop I mean coming off the input water to the softener and then back to the input water pipe. If the house is not plumbed for the softener you have to have the knowledge to cut and solder pipes.

I have hard water also but do have a softner on my system. So far the inside is shiny and bright as new. Not sure, of course, if it is the softner or the material the kettle is made from.

I don't think there's a way to do it. You would need to fill the unit with water, but it is a sealed unit with no visible way to add more water.

That would work but personally, I would put the filter before the softener. The rest sounds ok.

No. You only use water in this unit. Go to Homedics site and they can verify this question for you.

Not to the system itself i don't think but with the set up I have you could. I have a 275g clean water tank and a bad water tank where the system dispenses the RO water. attached to the tanks are seperate hoses one for watering plants and the other for its intended purpose. I use this water for my mobile detailing company and its the best water I have ever used in the ten years of detailing. Much better then the DI tanks I once used. Hope this is helpful.
