Whole house water filter - Page 2 - Plumbing Zone

I have been very critical of "saltless water softeners" in the past but I must admit this unit has been proven to work. The 3rd party lab testing says it all:

Good stuff Richard

. I'll have to look into these.

This is a fiberglass unit with stainless wrapping. Very good unit however it is very expensive.Basing price against maintenance of a water softner,ro system and upkeep during its lifetime equals out.

Have installed a few everpures and it needs yearly maintenance and does a nice job .

Protect it is not a water softener it is a coconut carbon filter and changes the structure of calcium and magnesium to make the water harmless to fixtures and still allows the calcium and magnesium. I asked the company to send me proof of the testing and who did the testing and for whom and they complied with my request. We have installed a few of these units and so far have no issues.

I did not understand the testing results so I gave it to one of my clients who both the husband and wife that did all the scientific testing of the water in Sarasota County. She wants one in her home.

I like the everpure 903 model. Stainless steel head and up to 100,000 gal capacity or 1 yr filter changes. Only problem is this must be installed outside and it says the temp cant go below 40 degreees or the filter must be removed from the head.

I appreciate the thought of the Hotrock and i think its a great idea but i dont think they are gonna go for a big rock. Not many rocks down here and this is in a gated townhouse community that has to sign off on it. They actually take a vote. I will for sure propose the idea as it is exactly what they need.

You need about 30" of height to mount the filter from the ground...that would be a large expensive rock. I was thinking about wrapping it with heat tape and making an aluminum enclosure and having it painted and a clear coat applied by a car body shop. Thanks for the ideas.
