I'm somewhat biased, but Mike is nice to listen to, and he makes the "nerdy" science information EASY to Understand!!!! I'm VERY interested in this water softener/Conditioner!!!!

If I want to protect my appliances and pipes AND filter harmful substances and improve my drinking water taste - which one should I purchase? FS or CS or SS? We also use an under sink RO system for drinking.

Assuming you have hard water you want a salt-based water softener (like SpringWell SS), and then a whole house water filter (like SpringWell CF). If you happen to know more about your water quality, then I might be able to provide more specific advice.

@@boswater6065 So if you have hard water on a well system the only softener that will work is a salt-based softener? The salt-free system will not work?

@boswater6065 26 күн бұрын

@JuanitaWood-zq3qv It depends on what you want. If you want to remove hard water minerals from your water for whatever reason, then you need a genuine salt-based water softener. A salt-free system will only reduce the scaling effects of hard water in your plumbing system - think limescale.

Are their any studies showing that the crystallization of the two minerals is safe in the body? Or best to filter again?

I wouldn't know of any studies to be honest.

You mentioned other salt less water softeners (conditioners) don’t work as well. Have you reviewed the Kind E-3000? I’m curious how their softener compares to the springwell

@boswater6065 9 ай бұрын

I think I meant other types of saltless water softener/conditioners like magnetic ones. Anyway, the Kind E-3000 uses the exact same "technology" as the SpringWell FS so we would expect pretty much the same results.

Thank you for your video! I'm in California (northern). I will get a water test. What I can tell you is that my shower glass gets built up residue after about a month if I don't use an abrasive like Barkeeper's friend along with CLR. I was hoping this product would mitigate that, but in your cons comment, you mention "doesn't prevent residue on glassware". I'm assuming this includes my shower glass? I also have build up around the metal portions of the shower. Thank you!

@boswater6065 8 ай бұрын

Yes, if you want that white buildup gone for good, the SpringWell FS is not your product. What it might do is make the residue easier to wipe off, but it won't prevent it. You will need a genuine salt-based water softener if you want to get rid off any hardness. SpringWell has one of those, too - it's called the SpringWell SS.

They are banned in some places, yes. It's either a salt-based aka ion exchange water softener or whole house RO.

No, for clothing you want soft water, and you'd need a salt-based water softener for that.

@FanorLacayo-r1e 7 ай бұрын

we have a small home 4 bed room and we run 15000 gallons of water . which sizes do you recommend.

@boswater6065 6 ай бұрын

Being a salt-free water softener, the SpringWell CS does not need to regenerate. So the total amount of water your household uses doesn't really matter when picking the right size. Instead, you should consider the flow rate you'll need at times of peak water consumption so that you don't experience a pressure drop. So how many bathrooms do you have and other taps/appliances that use water? You said you have a small home, so I'm assuming not too many bathrooms. The smallest version of the SpringWell FS (FS1) has 12 gpm service flow. I guess that should be plenty, but you could also confirm this with SpringWell or calculate your required flow rate using a tool like this one: wateranywhere.com/flow-rate-and-sizing-guide/

Would be worth also getting the reverse osmosis system in addition to CSF4 or no need?

Could definitely be worth it, but also depends on the quality of your water supply.

I have a customer that has a house build in 1979 and has no water softener loop, do I need a loop to install your brand?

SpringWell is not our brand. Anyway, a loop makes installation easier but it's not necessary as long as you have a location where you have access to the main water line with enough space.

@MattSmith38258 6 ай бұрын

he just hawks it for free apparently. He isn't touching on some of the bigger things, like what about scale build up on shower heads? If you have a counter top ice machine/coffee machine doe you get scale build up in those using tap water? Otherwise, it minority reduces scale... what's the point.... I have hard water in a new home I moved to, and water softeners will do what I want with their own draw backs, i'm looking for a way to soften the water, without slimy feelings, and without sodium in water or extra water waste/ hassle keeping up on brine tanks, higher water bills, etc... water softeners, the gift that keeps taking your money...

If you want soft water, then you only have 2 options: Salt-based (ion exchange) water softener or whole house RO.

@cofish99 5 ай бұрын

Is there a system that removes the limescale AND purifies the water?

@boswater6065 5 ай бұрын

That would be whole house RO, but it goes into the thousands, even more than $10k depending on your water quality, home size, etc. It's probably much easier to combine a water softener with a "regular" whole house filter.

@@boswater6065 You shouldn't have repeatedly called this system a water "softener". It's a water conditioner. The very fact that Springwell appears to market it as a softener is disingenuous.
