FAQ

Water conditioning questions

How much salt will it use?
That depends on your hardness and household use. A correctly set system regenerates on demand rather than on a timer, which is the single biggest difference between sensible salt use and wasteful salt use.
Does softened water taste salty?
No. Softening exchanges hardness minerals for a small amount of sodium — far below what you would taste, though we can specify potassium instead if sodium intake matters to you.
Can I soften a seasonal house?
Yes. There is a shutdown procedure that keeps the resin from sitting stagnant all winter; we can show you or handle it on a seasonal visit.
