Will this remove dissolved salts added as part of our water softener system in the house? Want to use outside to remove salts from our water softener

I live in Southern Calif. and our water here is HARD with dissolved salts and minerals. I bought one to use with my hydroponics water source and it DID NOT remove or change the PPM from that tested before I installed it on the hose.

Yes you can add chemicals. The saltwater system converts the salt to chlorine so you would need some sort of chlorine tablets plus algaecide since your system is broke.

Yes. This is to remove chlorine from the water, which is necessary before adding tap water to the tank. You can add as much salt as you want afterwards.

This is NOT a rinse agent! Our washer actually makes it's own soft water by using this salt. Not all dish washers do and if you already have soft water in your home, it's not necessary to add the salt. The rinse aid comes in a separate bottle available in most grocery stores and is used to fill the "Rinse-Aid" port in the door of most washers. That being said, we are truly impressed with the way our dishes come out, after using both, the salt (we don't have a water softener in our home), combined with the rinse aid. My wife is anal about cleanliness, and our dishes, glasses, pots & pans, and silverware all come out sparkling...far better than if you washed by hand. I hope this has helped you!

Yes, it just softens the water so you use less detergent. Don't forget to decrease your amount of detergent.

this unit does not work on the same theory as as the salt units which exchange sodium for solid substances in the water,they magnetize the in coming water to keep the solids from attaching themselves to the surfaces of the sink ,tub ect.,so you will not need salt.you can use PVC pipe no problem but this product WILL NOT effect rust

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.

The ffilters are micro filters for bacteria and particulars in the water. Salt would not work very well. I feel that it would real break the filters or gum them up

Well from my understanding this system will have to be installed before the water softener if that was the case. It's to remove cap in ur water

Actually I don't have it anymore (I gave it away). Doesn't it say on the post? I know I bought it for the magnesium, but I found it to be very salty and I am a salt lover. Personally, I'd rather add baking soda and/or pink himalayan sea salt to my filtered water. Sorry I can't help you more.

When you first use the filter, or when using the filter, you have to let the water run from the tap before using the filter. This allows residues and settled salts, chlorine, and other impurities to leave.

Hi, this is Steve at Aqua Products. This unit is safe to use in all pool waters including salt. Note: It's a best practice to always remove the unit after each use and rinse it when possible with fresh water. This will help prolong the life of the cleaner

Maybe. I think it will depend on a couple of things... How much iron is in your water and what kind of softener program you have. Iron is one component of hardness so the more iron you remove the less hardness there is to correct. So given that, your softener MAY require less salt to do the job. I do know from talking with the manufacturer of the iron unit that the softener need to go AFTER the iron unit. Ours was predominantly an Iron problem and this unit seems to have corrected the majority of our problem. We haven't added a softener yet, but may; and the unit we get may be smaller because the iron unit is doing a great job. Maybe. I think it will depend on a couple of things...

there was a reviewer that answered this question, using strips to test the water. he said it does remove a lot of chlorine. i am glad i purchased it. when i take a salt bath, it is best to try and remove chlorine, and i feel this helps in making it a truer salt bath.

The photochemical process destroys chemical contaminants, and reduces inorganics to minerals. Unfortunately, salt water is already full of minerals. Minerals cannot be removed with any portable drinking water system, but can be removed by reverse osmosis, electro-dionization, and distillation processes.

I don't think boiling will remove the hard water salts. Best to stick with distilled water for proper function of the machine.

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.
