  • Interesting product...that said, I know of no one who is using it so you may be the guinea pig. After using if for a few months, come back and post your results. We have the one that uses table salt and like it a lot.

    In answer to your question: No...pressure is pressure. What you experience at the tap/shower is FLOW. Pressure regulators regulate the amount of pressure coming into your coach. Other things regulate the flow. i.e. flow rings in your shower head, screens in your faucets etc. Make sure all the screens are clean including the one where your fresh water connects to your coach. Remove the flow restrictor in your shower head.....Dennis
  • it is from auto geek .net Water Softener Filter Cartridge
    Water Softener Filter Cartridge
    Eliminate hard water with this reusable cartridge and your Clear Inline Hose Filter!

    Insert the water softener cartridge into your Clear Inline Hose Filter Canister to eliminate hard water as it travels through the hose. Once the filter and cartridge is in place, there are no extra steps required. Just turn on the water to get softened, silky water straight from the water hose.

    This cartridge neutralizes calcium and magnesium in the water, thereby eliminating hard water. Your car shampoo will lather better and your vehicle will be free of those nasty water spots. This cartridge can be renewed and reused indefinitely.

    A water softener works by replacing the calcium and magnesium ions with sodium ions. Sodium ions are “soft”. They don’t produce scale and they don’t stain. They change the actual texture of the water, making it feel “slippery”. This causes water to sheet off the vehicle more effectively. Water that remains on the vehicle will not leave spots.

    The water softener cartridge can be recharged with the 2 lb. Filter Rejuvenating Tablets. Pour enough tablets to cover the bottom of a bucket or plastic dishpan. Cover the tablets with water and let the cartridge soak in the solution overnight. It will work like new again!
  • What kind of filter softens your water? Is it exterior to your MH or interior filter? Never heard of a filter that fits in a 10 inch canister that softens water.
