does it turn hard water soft

I don't think it turns hard water soft; but it does produce negative ions that help balance the pH levels to purify water.

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.

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

No it does not, if You have hard water You'll need a water softener preferable after this. Amazon also sells an air injection birm resin unit that will soften as well as remove iron and sulfur.

Yes, you could install a softener following your iron filter. The size of the softener will really depend on your water hardness and your average daily water use. It depends on these levels, but most homes will typically use a 48K-64K water softener. The two most common valves used that we would recommend is the Fleck 2510SXT of the 5600SXT. The 2510SXT has a dual-motor design and tends to have fewer maintenance problems. The 5600SXT will still soften the water just as well is a little bit less expensive, but does tend to need maintenance a bit more often than the 2510SXT. However, it is usually something fairly simple and relatively inexpensive, such as a motor, seals & spacers, or a piston. A complete water test would allow us to give you the most accurate recommendation on a system, but we could still do very well with just the hardness level.

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

I bought this because my water was hard, since you already have soft water you might like to check out the shower systems that have filters that you change. Good luck on your search, Amazon has a lot to chose from.

Installed a unit in Las Vegas connected to the Water District to replace a traditional salt based water softener. Las Vegas has very hard water. The Aquios system did not work for this application. Pots, pans, silverware, glasses, dishes began to show deposits almost immediately. Some of the family could also "feel" the hardness of the water in the shower. I like the compactness of the unit compared to a traditional water softener, but it did not "soften" our water. We removed the unit and installed a Morton water softener unit.

It depends on the reason why your water is hard. Some places have high iron. Other places have high limestone. My guess is that this product wouldn't really help with that (considering the most common causes of "hard water").

Um, it does soften the water a bit, but mostly it did almost nothing. Maybe the water is just particularly hard where I live, but I have sensitive skin and I only got minimal relief using this product. Also after approx. 2 months it broke and started to leak profusely making it impossible to use as it would spray water everywhere. I wish I had just spent money on the more expensive models

No, this is not a water softener. It will not filter out the majority of the heavy minerals in the water.

No, well it gets some what slimy but it doesn't go back to soft. However, If you are working on it and dries a little, it does become soft again if you add a little water.

I don't think so, because the filter is made to reduce the quantity of impurities of the water, but not to remove ions like calcium, that makes the hard water. We're talking about charcoal filters, designed primarily to improve the taste of the water.

It seems to. I have hard water and havent noticed any issues with the blueing.

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.

I cannot comment on hard water use. We do have well water that is softened. That is what I use and I have no issues. I love this diffuser. I bought 3!

I guess birm resin does not also soften the water I thought I saw a unit that would do all three but I couldn't find it again.
