Anyone have experience w/ the whole house "ionizing " water softeners that clamp over the water supply line.
Really hard water,would like to treat the whole place.
Any recommendations from folks that have had success ( or not ) with them.
Thanks
Should have mentioned …have a small furnace room w/ no space for whole house unit that might require floor space.The ionizer type is the smallest I have seen & since there are just 2 people wondering if it might be a good option….thanks

Our town has very hard water and every time they do work on the main, my water heater impeller gets jammed with lime chunks. My repairman has recommended Culligan, but I was wondering if there are any less costly alternatives out there.

I’m going to be moving in a month & will need to get a water softener (or something like it) because area uses well water & it has hard water. I’ve heard that it is not good to drink the water after it’s been through a water softener. Is this true? And what would be alternatives to a water softener? I was wondering about Eco Water? Thanks!!

I’m starting to look into water softeners for our apartment building. There are 8 units, all with 1 bathroom. I’m trying to figure out how much it would cost to get water softeners installed (we have terribly hard water here), and how much it would cost to maintain them.

I’m not even sure how exactly they work, where exactly they are installed, and how much work it is to maintain them.

I need to add a water softener in my house because of hard water but I have a septic tank and leach field. Most of the leach field is under the lawn but I am sure tree roots are very close to it. I am afraid that if I use a salt based water softener then over time the salt may affect the septic tank and even more importantly the salt discharged from the softener will go into the leach field and eventually will kill the trees and maybe even the grass. Does anyone have experience of trees growing near a leach field after using a salt based water softener for 20+ years? The other option is to go with a salt free water softener but they don’t seem to be offered by guys like Sears, Home Depot and Lowes. I have been told the non salt based water softeners don’t work ( or work very poorly ). My soil is almost totally clay. Thoughts / comments? Thanks.

I have been looking into nuvoh2o water softener for my business.
We have such hard water I can start to see the I’ll effects from it.
I like the fact the Nuvo is salt free and I don’t have to lug heavy salt bags in and out. Just a bit nervous about the technology that’s all. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
