Filters do not get the lime or minerals out. I use a 10 charcoal block, a 5 micron and then a 1 micron filter.....after that it goes through a "black light" . then into the water storage tank.
So I'm looking for a water softener which supposedly removes the ability of the minerals to stick to everything...not that it removes the minerals, if that were possible a filter would do it.
The result of hard water is leaky faucets, valves that do not close completely and ruined nozzles in taps not to mention the build up in the pipes themselves.
I see they sell electronic hard water treatment that state they will over time get rid of existing lime build-up sounds interesting. Any one try that method?
