Forum Discussion
I've commented extensively on softeners in the last several years. We drink a lot of water and are water snobs after drinking good Colorado mountain water for 35 years. So, here goes again. Five years ago we did an extended stay in the Terlingua, TX area. The water was just plain foul. You could see the particulates and all everything it came into contact with including us had white spots. We also travel extensively in the Four Corners area where the water can also be hard.
After the Terlingua trip, I paid attention to what I saw in the snowbird parks and asked on this forum about softeners. I purchased the Flow Pur softener. Can't be happier. It makes the hardest water palatable. We combine it with a replaceable canister filter and couldn't be happier. The harder the water the more often you have to recharge. In the Apache Junction area, we get about three weeks per carton of table salt. That includes running the washer, dishwasher and shower.
It is a bit of a pain to haul around since we didn't have the room to build it in. There are some models that are a bit shorter that would be easier to mount in a bay.
