Hey Everyone. Thanks for watching. IMPORTANT. In this video I had installed the intake and return water line backwards. I discovered this after filming the video. So keep this in mind if you are using this as a guide for installing yours.
You really need to add this information to the beginning of the video. I installed this unit in my home yesterday and was just browsing through videos and watched your install. I almost had a heart attack thinking my install was backwards and panicked thinking I'd have resin running throughout the entire house plumbing. Not cool my friend.
Listen you took us to school with this video. You have educated us more than most videos. Thank you for taking the time to share the 'how -to' step-by-step process.
So far the 1st video that is more thorough than others. I learned a lot more from it especially the part that tells you about turning on, the 2 or more faucets in the house, that other videos do not address. Thank you for this video.
Thanks for the video! I am going with a Rheem 32k model and a 3 valve bypass system. After watching your video I will certainly be using 2 sediment filters. Thanks for taking the time!
There is 17.1 ppm in 1 “grain”. When you were doing your calculation you should’ve done 250 ppm / 17.1 = 14.6 grains per gallon. 14.6 gpg x 160 gallons per day = 2336 per day x 7 days between regen cycles = ~ 16500 grain capacity, round up to a 20,000 grain unit. So you actually bought a unit big enough for 4+ people to live there. But hey now you only have to regen about once every 2 weeks. Better to have more capacity than less!
THANK YOU!! For correcting his grain calculation! I used his original calculations and thought, "oh great - now I WILL NEED to buy the $4800 Culligan unit."
My water tested 755 ppm! So I got an RO filter for my drinking water plus a UV light. Now its down to 15 ppm. Rain water I test is 10ppm so Im pretty happy :)
Just a word of warning when screwing into masonry, I would avoid use of any impact drivers as you can blow out the threads your concrete screws are creating in the block as they go in, and wind up with a stripped hole.
Did you really say, “ Be careful so you don’t strip anything,” while you were tightening those fittings with a pair locking pliers!😱 Seriously, many good tips. It was sharp of you to mention how one might be disconnecting their panel ground from the cold water inlet pipe by installing the system.
I cringed when you used vice grips to tighten down the adapters.....other than that, excellent video and thank you for sharing you gave me some good ideas!
I’m thinking 4.5 X 20 inch pleated filters would be more effective and last longer. String filters are way less effective at stopping sediment. Nice install job
I’m down in Florence & I just spoke to someone about getting one installed and they said it would be over $6K....Heck!!!...a little hard water never killed anybody
Your sediment filters already have a bypass. You don't need to make another bypass. Your water softner also has a bypass. You hooked up the system backwards.
I know I hooked the hoses up backwards in the video. This was addressed in another comment. The filter housings are notorious for having problems when using the bypass or the air purge. You should never ever rely on that bypass
Hello, thanks for this video. It will help a lot for my next project! I got two questions for you. First, would it be okay to install filter after water softener? Second, how much water does it discharge during the recharge process?(its almost impossible to find good drain location for me)
Just had one of these installed. Can you tell me why my ice cubes from my fridge taste salty? I don't have those inline filters you have but I know it has to be the softener's salt that's causing it. I'm also on a well too. any thoughts or help would be appreciated.
Just bought our first house and the video helped a ton but I still feel like I'm not doing something right. I just want to know how to make sure that my system is working properly. Also there are no filters to or from my system.
Thank for the instructions, man. Very helpful. One question though, could I not drain the hot water tank and just turn it off (also just let any leftover water comes out of the pipe before doing this modification ). Thank you
Great video! Question: on mine, the black rubber hose that's leaving the water softener started spraying water everywhere so I'm guessing it disconnected from the drain hole between the two wall spigots behind my washing machine?
I need to see the gluing of the 2nd CPVC slip to MPT adapter between the filters. When the short CPVC nipple was glued into the first adapter, it appeared there was no primer nor glue used on the CPVC. Also - the quarter turn on any gluing needs to be done AS the plastic pipe is slipped into the adapter NOT AFTER it bottoms out. Still can't figure out how the 2nd filter was glued in with the bracket in placez
Definitely you want to place the softener and filter before the tankless heater, you won't have to do the annual maintenance on the heater maybe just every 4 years.
I wish I would have seen your video sooner.... We started with just a water softener and with in a few months we noticed the only water anyone was drinking was from the filtered fridge. I purchased two GE filters like yours and purchased 1 large string wound sediment and 1 for more fine sediment. I was told buy the company I purchased the water softener from to put the large sediment filter first, then the water softener, and then the fine filter. This has caused all of our fixtures to now have a film all over them... also added cost as I purchased more 90 degree shark bite clamps to get this thing run. I am about to rip the entire thing out and start over..... your thoughts please?
You hooked that up to the softer valve backwards from the manual. The water from the well would have been on the right and the output to the house on the left side of that softner valve. How did that work? Did you test it like that?
@@JackofAllMasterofNone You should strongly consider editing the text comments if not done already and also the video with a text call out overlay to inform the viewer that you installed the bypass valve backwards. Water flows...but which direction matters. You could create another video as an update so that you don't lose the UA-cam views count on this video. Great video all around though. 👏
What’s the difference between water softener and water filter? I also feel like it’s important to know what your existing water system is like if I want to implement this. How do I find this out?
that is why every home should be done hell half the new homes today dont even have shout of valves on them, you can new have enough shout offs.,, i have neve bought a test kit, when i bought my unit, the store i bought the unit from, had me bring in a water sample, they tested it and told me what to set my unit to. / mine was and still is at 60/30. for every 20,000 gallons, they not charge, same with our well water, test for ecoli.. and other crap we take a sample of water into one of our local heath unit once a year, they test it 100% free of charge test bottles
This was extremely helpful. I have a Sears softener but it seems very similar. You have two filters. Are they they same type of filter? What kind should I buy? Also, when do you know to replace them?
After having a Culligan water softener for 22 years it starting leaking in one of the plungers, thinking about another system, how is your system you installed having any problems, what to look for, thank you video was very good.
If you have a well you should use a UV system with a pre filter. I find that the GE system is not good for well water, its only going to last 7-10 years before you will have to replace it.
great job..... getting ready to buy this exact model to replace a Kenmore that is the same 41-1/2" from bottom of salt basket up to center diameter of the female IN - OUT adapters on the valve; any chance you would be willing to verify that the GE is manual is accurate on the 41-1/2" distance by measuring your's?
Does water stay in the softener after recharge is complete? My salt level is 4 and water level in it is 6.? Does water need to drain completely after recharge?
It looks like you have the water supply line leaving the two filters and going into the outlet side of the water softener, shouldn't it be going into the inlet side of the softener?
Do you really need the filters given that this unit is a softener/filter combo? Not being sarcastic, I just know nothing about water softener systems but am looking to get one.
Thank you. I am needing to replace a 15 year old water softener machine that has stopped working. Would you still recommend this GE product? When reading reviews about all of these different machines, I come across everyone of them failing in a short time. The one that I am replacing only failed after 14 years. I cannot seem to locate the brand on the housing. Thanks again!
I have 4.5 bathrooms and bought vitapur 29000 capacity softner. Do you think it will still be usable given the size of our home. I am worried it might affect water pressure
I have iron in my well water. The water is clear but stained toilets and tubs. We have a whole house filter system. (which is two filters under the house) We need to change them once a month. Will this help so we don't have to change them as often?
No because the water softener goes after the filter to protect it. It will help keep your toilets clean but you will still have to change your filters regularly.
get a water boss softner and use with MORTON® CLEAN AND PROTECT PLUS RUST DEFENSE salt bags I use to have really bad rust stained toilets sinks bathtub you name it and now they are clean the magnet in the water softer pulls the iron out of the water and the rust removing salt cleans the brine/magnet in the water softner!!!
Hi its a good video, but i want know that you added some salts,it leads to any harm to aquarium fish why i want to install a unit to my aquarium water purpose
Is this water safe to drink? Or do I need to install reverse osmosis system? Or Is there a system which do both(water softening & filter water for drinking purposes)?
Jack of All Master of None This was a great video. It showed complete details of how to install softener. If you happen to have a video of RO installation, please post a link.
He's on well water.. If you're on well water then sure if you find a lot of mud in your water.. if you get your water from the city then you only need one filter.. Fine mesh filter
He did two filters because this home is running off of well water. Your home is most likely running off of supplied water from your towns water filtration plant. Especially if it’s a sub division built home.
The black drain hose! Is that supposed to filter out? We just purchased a home and woke up to that drain hose spraying everywhere. What do I do with it? ( the hose)
@@JackofAllMasterofNone If you're running a faucet in the house and the reservoir overflows, how fast does water come out of the overflow tube? What would cause an overflow? I'll use an existing drain pipe now used for my adjacent washing machine and water treatment unit. Since it's gravity flow, it looks like I'll have to modify the drain pipe to accept it below its outlet. Looks like it's about 3' above the floor?
6:53 SPIDER ALERT!!! Panic set in immediately when you panned away. It is gone in a later shot... I would be worried my friend, he will kill you in your sleep! 😲😆
Hey man sorry for the dumb comment, but I had a plumber install my water softer same model and everything. Whenever It’s recharging all the water goes to the drain? Is that supposed to happen? If not I already flipped the in/out water lines and it’s still doing the same thing. Please help lol
When the unit re-generates, it does send all of the brine water to the drain. Not sure why you swapped your inlet and outlet? Probably need to check that and put it back like the plumber had it for you!
Good question. I bought an A.O. Smith unit. No where in the manual does it tell you how to set the Softness Level. My water tested at 7 GPG. The help line told me to set it at 7 but doesnt seem right. Still researching
Jack of All Master of None I got him down to that price. The mfr originally said $4900. This is why I appreciate you and other tutorial vids on utube here. It’s not about putting the tradesmen or contractor out of business. It’s about being tired of getting ripped off. I’ll just have to tackle the job myself.
You made a calculation error. You should have multiplied by GPG, not PPM, to get your daily usage. A 40,000 grain unit is more than sufficient for 2 people.
Hey Everyone. Thanks for watching. IMPORTANT. In this video I had installed the intake and return water line backwards. I discovered this after filming the video. So keep this in mind if you are using this as a guide for installing yours.

An alternative to this type softener is a demand softener. It regenerates only when needed instead of at specific times.
Did you really say, “ Be careful so you don’t strip anything,” while you were tightening those fittings with a pair locking pliers!😱
Seriously, many good tips. It was sharp of you to mention how one might be disconnecting their panel ground from the cold water inlet pipe by installing the system.
those were slip joint pliers
Thank God for your filters man...
Excellent job just got the same unit getting ready to install it along with a new water heater. Thanks for posting!
You’ve done an excellent job. I’m looking forward to seeing the completed project. Blessings...

Yes. Shark bite braided stainless 3/4"
Hi its a good video, but i want know that you added some salts,it leads to any harm to aquarium fish why i want to install a unit to my aquarium water purpose
Im not sure. The water does contain some salt so I would check with a aquarium expert
160 gallons a day between 2 people thats a lot. Even if you add up showers flushing toilets doing wash you’re looking at maybe 60gal per person.
Why is the hot water valve not open?
What would happen if you have the lines running backwards in the house for a long period of time?
Not sure.
Dumb question but, is your "in" and "out" backwards? The inlet side on mine is on the right and the outlet side is on the left. Same model.
Yes. I hooked it up wrong in the video. I've since fixed it.
What is the hardness after installing the softener?
how much do you charge for doing this job
Is this water safe to drink? Or do I need to install reverse osmosis system? Or Is there a system which do both(water softening & filter water for drinking purposes)?
Just depends on your water. It's a softener, not a filter so personally I have a RO system for my drinking water .

You forgot the cpvc primer
Not necessary with flowguard gold. But won't hurt to use it either.

You made a calculation error. You should have multiplied by GPG, not PPM, to get your daily usage. A 40,000 grain unit is more than sufficient for 2 people.
