portable water softener
Would like to get feedback-positive or negative-on the need of a water softener. We are full-timers and spend six months in Mesa, AZ and six months traveling. All comments will be appreciated.

Many years ago my Dad moved in with his second wife. There really was no place for a water softener as the "utility room" was really just the hallway to the side door, with washer and dryer on one side and a pantry on the other. Then he found a very low profile (< 24" high) sort of a cube shaped water softener that would fit under the bottom shelf of the pantry. He hired a plumber to install the copper pipes. The plumber said hooking up unions and connections to the water softener was impossible due to the tight quarters. Dad had him install 2 hose bibs instead. The plumber said he would not hook up hoses because it was against code. Dad paid the man and 5 minutes later they had soft water !
