Bought 2. One for my son In law a year ago and the second for my other son in law. Both are happy with the results. Soft water and not smelly.

The media could not be loaded. I ordered this 48K unit to get rid of my water hardness, iron & manganese troubles for my family of four. I had proposals from a few water filtration contractors and they wanted $3000 - $4000 for installation of similar systems. I am so glad that I decided to do it myself. I think that I am into everything (softener, pex tubing & fittings, salt, pre-filter, post-filter & drain piping) for around $1500! Those SharkBite fittings get pricey! I did do a bit of extra plumbing though too. Now that this softener system has been running for nearly a month now... I have to admit how thrilled I am. There are no more reddish-brown stains in the shower, toilets, tubs or sinks. My wife & daughter were always complaining about their hair breaking while brushing. Iron will weaken your hair...Now that won't be an issue any more. (Big Plus there!) You actually feel a "slippery" feeling while washing with the softened water. Soap foams up much better now. There is no metallic taste to the water. I can't tell the difference between bottled water and the softened water out of the faucet! Everyone that comes over can not believe the difference the softener has made in taste compared to before. What a huge difference! I placed the order on Aug. 21, 2016 and received the packages on Sept. 1st. The tank was shipped with the resin pre-installed. You can get the installation instructions from ABC's website. There weren't any provided in the packages. No big deal though. I installed the entire unit myself using SharkBite plumbing fittings. I used the "pinch clamp" style clamps for all the brass barbed fittings along with 1" pex tubing. The digital meter was simple to hand tighten on top of the tank. My unit came with a metal bypass valve with one inch connections for inlet and outlet plumbing supply lines. Make sure to use a union on your drain line connection for easy removal of softener system for any future maintenance or resin exchange. I plumbed in a Watts WH-LD Premier Whole House Filter System to be used as a pre-sediment filter before the softener and I plumbed in a Glacier Bay whole house filter with a carbon CTO filter after the softener. The pre-sediment will take care of any particles missed by the well pump screen and the carbon CTO filter will enhance the "softened" water taste out of the faucet. I also re-routed my outdoor sillcocks so that they were plumbed in before the water softener. There is no need for softened water to fill the pool or water the grass. I started off filling the brine tank with 4 bags of salt. Once I ran the initial regeneration process I added one more bag. On average so far, the softener regenerates about once per week. The system drains around 40 - 50 gallons during this process so make sure you have a suitable location outside the house for drainage if you can not plumb into a sump pump drain or the like. My only regret with this system is the fact that I didn't buy it sooner!

I knew nothing about wells, filtering water, plumbing, salt, nada... I plumbed this in with Pex a couple months ago and no I didn't get it right the first day, or week, took about a month or two slowly improving it a little at a time. I had clear water that was hard and turned everything orange and it had a sulfer smell. After setting this up the water was softer, but the orange stains were still occuring and the smell was still there. I added a filter that ionized the iron before this system. The filters are about $80, but it helped. Then I switched to a charcoal filter for my sediment filter 5 micron. All this did slow down my water pressure and I was close to a solution, still getting the sulfer smell but the staining was much better. Finally out of desperation I took the well cap off and dumped some fairly potent bleach water down the well shaft. It was something like half gallon of bleach to 3 gallons of water. I was too lazy to unscrew all four bolts on the well head, they were rusty. I just unscrewed one and dumped the water slowly down the bolt hole. I was hoping to kill the iron feeding bacteria that creates the sulfer smell. I bypassed all my filters for this and ran the water from the ground up through the pipes into the holding tank, bypassed all filtering softening, and ran the sink until bleach smell started. Then shut it all down and let it sit for a couple hours. Then I flushed it throughly until the bleach smell was completely gone, took awhile at least 150 gallons to flush it. That was 2 months ago and my water is like bottled water. I think I'm going to do that bleach trick a couple times a year, it seems to last awhile. I got all kinds of crud out of the pipes. I'm pretty sure my concentration of bleach was drastic. I might cut that down a bit on subsequent tries. Basically now that I got it all configured it's working great. Don't expect this system to clean the iron/sulfer out, it might help a little but don't expect much in that department. Overall this system is playing it's part as expected. Nothing has broke and it seems adequate. I'm guessing the salt bin will go first, but it looks cheap to replace. I only have a small cabin in the woods and it sits a lot not being used.

I had a 25 year old Kenmore water softener that I replaced with this. This uses a ton more salt than the Kenmore. I set the system up according to recommendations, like forcing a recharge at a minimum every 7 days for better resin "health" (I'm going to switch to 14 days and see if that helps). My Kenmore lasted 25 years without this feature and water was still fine at the end (I replaced it because the valve wore out and froze up). The Kenmore was a single unit - the resin tank was inside the salt tank so the whole thing took much less space. The design of the Kenmore let me put it closer to the wall too. The Kenmore had a light inside the tank so you could see how much salt was in there. Since it is in my basement I have to bring a flashlight every time I check the salt level. The Kenmore brine cycle filled the tank with water, let it set a while and backwashed the resin tank with it. This unit fills the tank (you can control how many gallons of water is pumped in which is nice) right after the recharge cycle and leaves the water in there until the next cycle. I think this is where it is using more salt since it is dissolving the salt for a week. I am currently filling with less water than recommended, but I am going to cut it down even more and see what happens. Installation was really easy. I was in a hurry and cheated by using Shark Bite hoses from HD that simply screw on to the unit and the other end just pushes onto the copper water lines. No sweating/soldering needed. The drain was slightly harder but I just used a piece of PEX for it. The unit does what it is supposed to and removes my iron and hardness.
