Understanding the differences between water softeners and salt-free conditioners is key to improving water quality. Thanks for sharing! - Lipika - Team Evan Carmichael
The best salt I recommend is Solar Salt. Ecowater makes a variety of different types of water softeners. Keep in mind that these are professional grade and need to be installed by professional Water softener company. As a result, the plumbing that is added to the cost of the product can change the price dramatically. Please contact a local dealer to help you obtain pricing.
Keep in mind that only professional can uncrew the tank to dump out the media, refill and screw it back in. Understand that you are not qualified to do such job.
I understand everything your saying. I also agree. But what do you do when you have no drain near the watermain in a new house. And the front of your house is bushes and grass so you cant drain out of the house instead. What is the best system to use
Ive had the new Rainsoft EC5 system and it works great. Worth every penny and the my skin has been so soft. I even added a sediment filter and UV sterlizer and the benefits have been awesome.
Salt is $10 per 40 pounds... I only need a bag once every 3 months. Is not a big deal to add salt into the tank. Also I 100% agree, I have a 3 stage Water Filter, Sentiment, Carbon, and Iron and they only last a year before I have to change all three filters.
so heres a stupid question if we use a salt system and we really dont taste it when drinking it, but when cooking with it will the food taste salty as our do, we realy dont need to add slat to our food it seams like, seeing how the salt is in the water to do its job to soften, the water I'm thinking the salt is still in the water to some point, and if so, when showering as myself now i have dry skin itchy and felling slimy after showering, i went to a hotel in Ohio last week and it was so nice not to feel slipper when i brush off the excess water off my body, it was like the water was dry as crazy as that my sound, we're building a new home this is the type of water i would like to have in it
Moving again to a new house, and sas on the fence as to which way to go- salt system or a whole house conditioner. Have had salt systems in last three homes, and only two things really bugged me. One, of course was having to purchase and lug the salt around. Under Biden's economy salt nearly doubled in price. The other was I had to replace two of my three water heaters, just at the end of the company's warranty. As they were being carried away, the plumber emptied them out and both were full of small chunks of salt. Not sure if the salt prematurily killed my tanks or not, but they were full of small salt tablets. I'm thinking this time I will install at least one additional water filter before the salt tank, and one after. What say you?
I am 99.9% positive that the white chunks that came out of your water heater was not salt but rock. To me the water softener system did not take out all the calcium in the water. So it’s time to get a professional grade water softener that does use salt. The salt conditioners on the market today do not protect water, heaters or appliances. Call us if you have any questions.
The co-inventor of RO would disagree with you on backwashing carbon. But, why are you comparing the carbon part of the conditioner with the softener anyway? Both [are] useful for very different things and arguably both are necessary for most houses. The carbon isn’t absorbing the chlorine, it is adsorbing it. Nit-picky, but accurate.
You are 100% correct on the word adsorbing vs. absorbing, thank you for the correction. Trying to do a video quickly is sometimes tricky. Regarding backwashing the carbon filter I can only speak to our experience.. when a water filter is placed into service, particles from the cities, water lines, or the water source itself builds up on the carbon. Backwashing it flushes it out so the carbon lasts longer. Again this is our personal experience installing these units for over 50 years.
It seems to be just a waste of time to watch this for me, having watched quite a few (actually many) UA-cam videos about water softeners vs. conditioners.

I agree! I’ve been having Rainsoft for over 15 years and it works great
What’s the best salt for the Eco and what is the price range on the Ecowater system
The best salt I recommend is Solar Salt.

Look at Ecowater Systems. It sounds like you had a lot of salt getting into your plumbing. That will not happen with an EcoWater system.

I guess only this guy would backwash carbon in his system. The whole 20 min and actually said nothing. Now that is a gift.
