As a relatively new homeowner who’s having to learn all about hard water, septic systems, etc, thanks for a great and helpful video

[@purehitman24]

I work on softener systems. I do not recommend sending it into a Regen in the middle of the day like this video. Reason is other water devices will be in use and depending on your unit it could take 2 hours to completely Regen. The Regen process needs the best water pressure you can give it so doing it when you're headed to bed and not using other things is the best time.

I have hard water where I live. This seems like a lot of maintenance to soften water. Is it worth it?

@@dalpz205 you could still have iron coming through your water or other stuff you might not want. I'd recommend getting a water test just to make sure. If you have iron in your water you'll notice staining in your toilets. It will also mess up dishwashers, washing machines, ice machines, and faucets. Completely rendering them useless. Normally city water is fine on their PH but if that's off it will eat copper pipes up.

Great video. Out of desperation I tried the iron out. The water softener had been turning the water grey-brown, and when the water softener was bypassed, the discoloration went away. This proved the discoloration was due to the softener. The softener was put on bypass for the past 6 months to stop discoloration. Then I saw your video and tried one treatment of the Iron Out. IT WORKED!

It's amazing how so many people don't know what and how things should get regular maintenance when owning a home. Specially first time owners. Along with bringing back home ec in schools they should add a week or 2 of being a first time home owner and basic car maintenance. Where and when to change air filters for heat and air, checkup on HVAC units, the need for water heater flushing, when to open or close crawl space vents or which way to flip the switch on a ceiling fan for summer or winter, how long shingles actually last. Where the fluids go in a car, how to change a tire, and the need for regular oil changes and tire rotation. Sure not all things will apply to everyone but a brief explanation of these are the things that will need maintenance and when they should be done; either by you or have them done. Wish I had basic info before problems came up to actually know ALL these things were even needed.

The front of the bag is dark blue(?black) near the top and light blue for the rest of it. I'm not sure if this is the same as Morton Pure and Natural or not. I looked for "Morton Professional" water softening link but it's not even on manufacturer's site. Perhaps my local hardware has a lot of bags from before the name was changed? I emailed Morton to see if it's still the same name. Will repost. I'm guessing it's probably the Pure and Natural now, instead of Professional...

[@auktober]

Excellent video. Thanks. I was looking for someone to just spell it out. Good stuff

[@DrivingHy]

Holy Guacamole! I've watched and enjoyed a lot of your videos and really appreciate the time and effort you put into them. But this one has really saved me!!! Our old (circa 2007) softener has mostly been reliable but due to my negligence and lack of any maintenance I ran into a problem and thought I'd have to bite the bullet and replace it. Overall the softener has been marginal but due to my own negligence I let the salt run out so you can guess the results... Anyway I watched the video thought what the hell and picked up some Iron Out. After following your instructions I did notice a chemical odor and funny taste from the water so I ran a 2nd backwash. Since I'd never done anything but add salt over the last 15 years It took about 2-3 days for the odor and taste to disappear but more importantly the results really shocked me. The water didn't instantly turn soft but during the course of about 4-5 days it kept getting better. It's now at the point where I honestly believe it's as good as new! Many thanks for sharing this!

[@sheluvschoco]

Great video! We use water softener crystals to avoid that block buildup in the salt tank.

Great information, maintenance saves a fortune, so many people never maintain these things and they wonder why every five years they’re replacing them? During humid times of the year, to avoid a salt bridge we only put in a bag of salt at a time.

I highly recommend Solar Salt if it’s available in your area. Salt pellets can contain a binding agent to help keep the pellet shape. That binding agent can degrade the performance of the softener and resin tank quicker too. Solar salt is mostly flakes and more “natural” and better long term in the unit. I have been using for 15+ years on well water and have had no issues.

This is great information to get out there. Very practical, helpful, and money saving. You can also just sprinkle about a third of a cup on top of the salt when it's getting down to about the 2 mark (a few days before you're going to put in more salt and you know it's going to recharge soon). This was advised for us by a water analyst. The Iron Out powder has something similar on the instructions for maintenance. I do this every 3-4 months.. depends on your water's iron and your usage.

He is so right. I placed a new water filter prior to my softener and the filtration was to high which caused the flow of hard water to be slowed and it limited the ability to make brine. My beebees looked like the ones on your vid. You can buy and replace your old beebees pretty easily if they are seriously contaminated. After that use the iron out regularly.

Amazing!!! We had a power outage and the tanks were emptied by accident. Once power was restored I noticed the water was not soft and smelled of iron. I did a manual regen and the problem got worse. Turned out the Iron removal tank drain plugged itself with iron, and the backwash of iron ended up in the softener. I used the Iron Out as you recommended and the water is starting to turn clear again. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!! UPDATE 11-2021: I ended having to replace both my iron removal tank as well as my softener. The Iron Out did work for a little while but the system was too far gone to recover.
