What water softener do you have ?

We are staying in AZ this winter and find the water here very hard. What kind of water softeners are people using.
Thanks for your help.
  • We used a RO system when we were in Yuma years ago. All of the water suppliers there have hardware.

  • On-The-GO 8000 grain portable water softener.

    2 adults full time use in So Cal, AZ, NM, TX, Southern UT.
    10-14 days between regens.

    Had it for 8 yrs. No hard water spots on shower door, scaling on faucets, inside water heater and OK for drinking BUT coffee non-dairy creamer doesn't dissolve as easily (kinda clumps up)
  • Travelsoft R3200 by Frako. Used it FT for 10 years. Works very good.
  • We have the larger portable "on the go" water softener. Works for us. If you have a washer/dryer and dishwasher you need the larger softener.
    Can use ordinary table salt to recharge it.
  • RV 10000. Been doing a good job. If the water is really hard, we may regenerate every 10 to 14 days.

  • We were going to go with a Culligan water softener that is brought in for a month and then they bring in another one a month later. Was a good price and we only planned on doing this for five months. I asked being we have never used one in our trailer for eleven years would we run into any problems of clogging up connections and was told "yes." Decided it was best to pass on it.
  • X2 for the RV 10,000. I like the fact that it uses regular salt for the regeneration.
