With San Antonio city water specifically, anyone should use around 1 to 1 ½ bags of salt per month (40Lb bags). Put 3 to 5 bags each quarterly year and all should be good. The hardness of the water and size of softener will determine the amount of salt it will require for each regeneration. Read More
Our pets, our loved ones. Where do you get the water from they are drinking? Do you just get it from the tap at the kitchen sink? Do you drink the water from the tap? If you do not like the water, then your pet probably does not really enjoy either. He is just thirsty and has no option. The municipal water facilities are adding more and more chlorination systems or even chloramines to our water, making it taste and smell. Read More
You read about both and it sounds like why am I carrying those bags of salt?
Be careful do your research completely and do not stop at what you want to hear, first let’s explain how they work.
A softener that uses salt has an ion exchange process, this means as the water passes through the resin one calcium ion is exchanged for one sodium. The calcium sticks to the resin bead and does not enter your plumbing coming into your house. Read More
What is the difference in filtered water and reverse osmosis water?
Reverse Osmosis is bottle quality water that has gone through a four, five or six stage process. A sediment filter, one or two carbon filters, a polishing filter right before you dispense and most important a semipermeable membrane. They remove salts, minerals, and dissolved inorganic compounds. Total dissolved solids have been reduced 96.5%. Arsenic V 97.8%, Cysts 99.99%, Fluoride 96.3%, and Lead 98.0%. Read More
The first appliance the water softener protects is the hot water heater, an average cost for a hot water heater is $1,800 not to mention you may end up with a cold shower. Have no water softener with the water as hard as it is in San Antonio you will need to drain your hot water heater twice a year.
First let’s clarify the salt in the brine tank is used when a water softener goes through regeneration. Regeneration if the unit has been sized properly for the family living in the house it should go through regeneration about once every seven to ten days.
