Water softeners

[CarlaW]

I am being tempted to install a water softener in my house, and I have a couple of questions.
Is this going to be OK is the main question!!!!

The unit is going to be before the RO/DI unit.

Thanx in advance for your replies, if any.

From what I remember you have very hard water, these softeners usually use salts to soften the water, I think. If so, I think your filters will remove them & probably get you more life out of your membranes. I moved your thread to Boomer's forum because he'll know your answer I'm sure!

That is also what the water people are telling me too, and I had a hunch that would be the case. I tried to do a little researching around here, but couldn't come up with all that much.
Thanx for the bump and the move Scooter.

You can go either route Charlie but a WS is the best route for very hard water. Another big issue here for you is without the WS that DI will get killed reallllllllllllly fast.

There you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Boomer, you are preaching to the choir about DI getting killed really quick. I didn't have soft water before because my wife didn't want it..........................that problem is solved. Five years of DI resin my friend!!!!!
Thanx for your reply and help, always means a bunch.

I don't think anymore needs to be said around this thread. Thanx again.
I am looking forward to long life membranes and DI, believe me.
