Homr Water Softener/ Filtration system

[radioguy]

Never had a softener system in my home. Prior owner had a Culligan system [leased] but they wanted too much $$ per month. Fast forward today, now I have better water in our travel trailer. Just invested in an all stainless, Made in USA, Veteran owned. The system is sweet, no leaks its all braided quick fits

We want to install a system that will soften our hard water possibly filter. What system types are out there now? Don't want to be carrying salt down the steps. The 10,000 grain RV softener recharges easy with a box of table salt


Thanks

I don’t know of a system that doesn’t use salt. What if you got the biggest setup and pay someone to deliver and pour in the salt two times a year? I don’t have anything fancy just the biggest unit Blain’s farm and fleet sells. Brand is Addie.

How much salt does a system use? Guess I could make multiple trips with salt.

I already fill the 5 gallon fuel cans 3-4 gallons. I have the strength but risk spilling it or knocking my back out.

Just put half a bag of salt in a Homer bucket and make 2 trips.

There's plenty of salt free water softner systems out there but initial cost is quite high.

Depends on your water hardness, you set that. Then also depends how much water you use. House of 4, I go through 16-20 bags annually. Garden, hot tub, car washing, laundry, dishwasher, showers, etc. So we’re a high usage household.

I personally think our water is not so bad and not worth softening. Basic filtering with carbon to remove chlorine or and/or RO for kitchen is what I would do. That being said, I DO like the feel of softening but just not worth the cost IMO.

Not to derail, I don't need the softening aspect but what whole house systems are out there for general sediment, chlorine/chloromine and metal removing are out there.
