Long term deionize. No salt problems.
We stayed for a couple of months west of Tucson. The water was very hard.
I used whole house carbon block, silver sediment filter cartridge and a follow up .9 micron ceramic,carbon block filter. Probably over duplicated.
A lot of the harness from calcium s suspended and it gets that. Soluable it won't. They will get the sulfur iron and lead etc. Had no problem washing the coach with it nor clothes. an overkill filter system under the sink for faucet and ice maker. The water tasted good from the secondary filter and it probably would from the first. However it was something like tweny five micron, I think, and I thought I needed more perhpaps. The ceramic filter did have some discoloration and took some scrubbing to clean.
They have ceramic/carbon block with silver cartridges on the net now, for any 10 inch canister now. the best spec is like 79.00 I think.
A primary that is less costly to catch the bulk of the nasties and the best one with down to .5 micron Is what I have in the bay awaiting next trip. It doesn't flow but 2 gallons a minute but I can fill the tank and get all the pressure from it that I want.
We still had some very small traces of lime but not enough to cause any problems. The softener thing, I'm thinking if I get one I may have to fill a bay with good pre filter and softener and something to get the salt afterwards. :)
