RV Water Softener

I've had one for years and I'm very happy with it. First I had a Travelsoft. It did the job with one small complaint. It used rock salt which was kind of difficult to get through the opening provided. Ice cream salt made it a little easier. It's rock salt but slightly finer. I now have an On The Go. It uses ordinary table salt and has a larger opening. I have the 2x capacity model so it lasts longer between recharges.

my BIL had the blue jobby from camping world and seemed to like it.
bumpy

I also have the On the Go, and it does a good job. I have the regular size one, for space reasons.

I have the FloPur Mark 8000.
Cost is $220 and includes shipping if bought from the site above. Regeneration is done with a box of common table salt.
It is similar to others like the "On-The-Go" water softener which is the one Camping World sells I believe.

Both are 8000 grain units which means they will last longer without requiring regeneration. Some folks use "Water Sticks" but the biggest one of those I have seen is only 1500 grains.

In AZ where we spend most of the winter the water hardness is about 50 grains per gallon. That means that an 8000 grain unit will soften about 160 gallons before needing to be regenerated. Since we use about 13 gallons of water per day we have to regenerate every 12 days or so.

In our home in CO we have a water hardness of 20 GPG, there the softener will last about a month.

I still have it but have sold the motor home. If you are going to pass through Grand Junction CO on your way south you might want to send me a private message.

I have taken to flushing the water heater by sticking a tube from my air nozzle into the drain while water is running out. I get a lot of sediment after being in FL for just 3 mos.

On-The-GO or FlowPur.......whichever is on sale!!


Both do the same thing, do it the same way, are regenerated using same method.


Whichever unit is on sale!


We have On-The-Go......used it for 8 yrs.
AZ, NM, TX where water is very hard......2 adults last about 10 days then regen and back in service.

FloPur is the only way to go. It has made water hard enough to chew completely drinkable. Been using my 8000 for 4 years.

I have the Flo Pure RVPro 10000. It uses ordinary table salt and is easy to regenerate. I camp out west and the water is very hard. It keeps my fixtures nice and clean. I have a sediment filter and carbon filter before it although you do not need to do that.

We have the Flo Pur 10000 here in eastern Texas; it works fine and we regenerate it every nine days.

We have an On The Go Double Standard. Works very well.
