Thank you so much for such a great video. It was so educational.

Great Vid! thank you for an explanation of this confusing part of our lives!!

Would you recommend aquaox filtration with springwell softener?

Next time, you should show the equipment close up so people can see what the units look like! Maybe a more detail video will come out soon! What are the Brands?

Thank you. It was helpful.

Great video - very informative and will allow us to do quicker and better research on what we need - thank you

I bought a Kenmore and installed it myself and maintain it myself.

Hi Drew, whats your take on LIfesource? i just purchased the Elite water filter and scale solver for $7400. Two big tanks, installation is next week.

Brother, yes, pure gold! Thanks for the knowledge.

Hey i appreicate you explaining everything about water softners. I live in tampa florida with 3 bathrooms and 5 people, what do you think is the best kind of water softner for me? Im also under city water. Thank you

I've been watching videos on water softeners and filtration systems the last 3 nights to try to make a choice. This was the best video I have seen. Straight forward with lots of information

Angel great video and a lot of info, I have played it like 6 times already. Unfortunately Eco Water is not available in Miami, and Culligan is very pricy. what are your thoughts on Spring Well and Crystal Quest combo units?

Thank you for the video. What do you think about Puragain water filtration?

What would choose between waterboss and kinetico?

In which group would you put a Pentair Everpure system?

what do you think of the hydro tech water softener?

@AngelWater thank you for this video. what is your take on Hydrotech 89 series? (warranty, serviceability and any comment) and quoted at $1500

GREAT VIDEO MAN!!!!

Can you do a video on water softeners and show how to isolate the hose bib supplies for watering the garden. I don't water the water for watering plants to be treated.

What do you think of the Evolve water softeners?

Do you know anything about VESTA whole house filtration systems?

Great video, very informative. The only question I have is that you mentioned that Culligan is not NSF44 certified but it does say on their water softener manual that they are NSF44 certified, just wondering if they're trying to mislead the customer?

Hi Angel can you recommend the proper Eco water softener fir a family of 6. Thanks in advance

Thank you so much great presentation ❤

Pro.H2O cws1, is that kind good?

What do you think about Spring well? We are making a purchase in about few months and highly considering Springwell. We’re in Dallas.

Very good video. As time passes, more and more "conditioner" sales will be made using such technologies like catalytic processors and TAC, but softeners are ion based actually removing hardness. Processors are great as long as the customer knows the differences. There are trade-offs with everything regarding water conditioning. Big box softeners made in China? I thought they were made in Wisconsin. Maybe parts made in China?

Very detailed and helpful thank you

Great explanation on how low quality is ruining real values and equipment

Great information! Gave me peace of mind as I purchased the EcoWater earlier today. Not even installed yet. Thank you!!

Great video. Is Hellenbrand water softeners a good brand and do you know if it’s NSF certified?

Very informative video. what do you think of Titan Water Solutions system?

Clack or eco water is better?

More importantly, I need what this guy drinks in the morning :)

Does anyone have any info on if the puronics defender is any good? I talked to a company today that is offering that for $6500. Seems a little steep and not a ton of videos mentioning this brand.

Bruv! This is the single most helpful video describing watersofteners I have ever seen. Your delivery if information was both outstanding and entertaining. If you were in my market I would buy from you right now.

Any thoughts on the puragain water filtration system?

What system would you recommend for a medium sized school. I’m a custodian and the calcium is terrible. Make my job very difficult.

What are NSF 44 besides EcoWater? What's the cheapest option that has that?

Is a water softener synonymous with a water purifyer? A long time ago I remember my grandmother's water tasted terrible (maybe it was brackish?) and she had a water conditioner that made it taste much better but also made it ultra soft. I recall feeling like I couldn't rinse the soap off my hands. Can softeners be tuned to not create such soft water? Thanks.

I came across your video today. I have an appointment with Rainsoft to install a salt free system on Tuesday. Sounds like I am not going to get what I expected. Would Eco Water be the way to go? I live in NJ. Times are hard and I am not looking for added stress and expense. Thanks and hope you see this in the next 24 hrs and can respond so that I can cancel.

Can anyone give their feedback on Aqua Systems?

Can you comment on the Brita Pro whole house filtration system with water softener?

So you would say eco water system is the best ?

My local plumber is recommending the Novo 489 high efficiency. You didn’t cover that one (unless it’s a sticker brand?) how does that compare?

what do you think about superior water quality ? 2 tank system lifetime warranty nsf grade

Whst was the last one? Cant undertand it from the video. Eco, Equa, Evoqua, etc. Trying to Google it and i see a variety of options that match your pronounciation.

If anyone is in the triangle of NC Kinetico is the way to go!

Hello Enjoyed the video thank you!! Contacted Costco/Ecowater and they will only sell WITH installation. They don't install in my area - a little rural... Where can I buy a standard, not too expensive Ecowater softener? We are only 2 people here... Thanks a alot, Gabriel

Still confused I don't know what to get

What are your thoughts on Puronics

Very helpful. Thank you!

Waterboss site says they are Made in the USA. I had a tank fail after around 8 years and they replaced it with no questions asked and the warranty reset to 10 years.

Is Hellenbrand a quality water softener?

Well Said!! :)

I'm getting a Kinetico system installed. Today is 6/27/2023, they install on 6/29/2023. I'm getting the water softener, the hydrogen peroxide part, and the k5 drinking water system. Today we had the salesman come in and do the water test which was much more of a sales pitch than anything. Sort of high pressure too. We were quoted ~10k for just the softener, ~11k for the softener with hydrogen peroxide part, and ~12k for the softener, peroxide, and k5 point of drinking water. This is waaaaay more than I wanted to be spending, but we've been living with horrible water for 8 months now and I don't want to mess around. Anyways I wanted to share my experience, so anyone who would like an update, please reply here and I'll share anything I can. I'm having second thoughts already because of the price, and I feel like simply a hydrogen peroxide system on top of my current water softener would do the trick for everything but staining... I'm normally such a cautious buyer, agonizing for months over a 100$ blender or something silly like that.

Having been in the water treatment biz with both Rainsoft and Aquathin, IMO the best is none of the above. Instead get a DI rental (like used by Kidney Dialysis) and have them change it out as needed

What about KDF filtration certification

What are your thoughts on ONIT?

Whats your take on NuvoH2O?. Its being marketted as hottest new water softner on the market. I believe its a NSF 42 rated.

Is Halo 5 any good?

You are a national treasure. Thank you!!

Next time he should put the top 5 companies on the front of the screen so we can see them after him talking who remember them but great information

AOSmith I talk to a vender and he said there sister companies with Eco and there NSF 44 . They’re cheaper by 1000.00 . 4195.00 installed with 10 year warranty. I’m probably going with them .

Great video, it would be better if the info on Rainsoft,culligan and kinetico was accurate. Seems to me you are just trying to say your eco water systems

Great video. Takes a lot of guessing out of it. Costco to the resque, again. (While you get your chicken . . )

Just checked Costco in California and the are not selling Eagle softeners they are selling Eco water softeners. It would’ve been helpful if you gave a model for the Eagle product.

Can you tag your video on water conditioners, please?

1:40 love this quote

What about Hague and Puronics (was Ionics)

Looking a few of these up, you're tied to having professionals install the professional brands. It doesn't look like they just sell the units for the DIY crowd.

Clack ws1?

Where you guys located

Halo or Lifesource Water System???

Bought a Aqua Sure harmony series softener with whole house 3 stage filter so we hired a plumber system 400 bucks plumbing 450 with exit drain 👍🏼. Love the system was quoted 4500 From a door to door solicitor for a Culligan water softener system a neighbor did get them and their system failed 😂😂😂

What about NSF 42, 61 and 53 ????

Kinetico has a factory 10 year warranty.

Does he mention about marlo by any chance

Shell water systems have a liftime guarantee on tanks and valves. All made in the U.S. ( Texas ). Better Buisness rated an A+. Have you heard of them?

Rain soft said and seeing their warranty it’s a lifetime limited warranty. They have me at 10k. Did I get scammed?

Thanks for the information but it took me 18 minutes to get what I wanted and could’ve been done in four minutes.

You mention NSF "listed" but this is not the same as NSF "certified" is it?

which one is the best in these?

A few problems with your statements, Rainsoft is made in Illinois (America), and has a lifetime warranty on all parts as well as the resin media, and is NSF 44 certified. I do not understand what system you are looking at lol, but your information is wrong on at least that one.

Got more than half way and still no water softener reviews, so I gave up

Can I buy from you? This shopping for a softener sucks!!

Any chance you have discounts for disabled veterans? Or have any blemished units that work fine? Or want to work out a marketing collab for a unit? Can help push your sticker units if they are ecos. We are making content for vets and medicine

me watching this at 350 am

I was considering the Costco eco water system BUT there is so many bad customer service and product reviews on the Eco water I don't know if it's even worth it.

How do you like Brita?

you were doing fine till the 17 minute mark. The Rainsoft Warranty is a limited Lifetime warranty, from the MANUFACTURER, right here in Illinois, and that absolutely DOES cover the resin. I appreciate your effort, but accuracy counts.

What do you think of water right systems?

Ever hear of water-right? They are a manufacturer, made in USA. Rather large company. I’m surprised you didn’t mention them.

Do you ship to ohio

Here is a ChatGPT summary of the transcript that cuts out a lot of the cruft in the video: The video provides a detailed comparison of different water softener options available in 2023. It starts with an introduction to the complex water softener industry and the presenter, Drew, aims to simplify the selection process by categorizing manufacturers into three groups: big box retailers, sticker companies, and professional grade manufacturers. For each category, he evaluates them based on warranty, American manufacturing, NSF 44 listing, serviceability, and pressure loss. - Big Box Retailers: These include brands like GE, available at Home Depot, Lowe’s, etc. Pros include lower price and small footprint. Cons include short warranty periods, not being made in America, lack of NSF 44 certification, difficult serviceability, and potential for reduced water pressure. - Sticker Companies: This category has a vast number of brands like Pelican and Aquasana, offering products that are often assembled from parts made elsewhere, frequently China. The focus here is on the importance of warranty, the misleading claim of "Made in America," and the importance of NSF 44 certification. These products generally have better serviceability than big box options but may still present issues with water pressure. - Professional Grade: Four main companies are highlighted - Culligan, Rainsoft, Kinetico, and EcoWater. These options tend to offer better warranties and features but at a higher price. The discussion includes the importance of NSF 44 certification, American manufacturing, serviceability, and water pressure implications. EcoWater is noted for its comprehensive warranties, NSF 44 listing, and being a choice of Costco due to its reliability and quality. Throughout, Drew emphasizes the importance of understanding your needs based on your living situation, the significance of warranties, the value of NSF 44 certification for health and safety, and the potential costs associated with installation and service. The aim is to educate the viewer on making an informed decision when choosing a water softener.

"You're here because you clicked on Best Water Softeners 2023" How did he know!!?!

A true salesman

water boss water softeners are made in USA

My water boss has a nsf-44 sticker as well as made in USA. So I would disagree on those points.

You missed one of the most important features the Kinetico has over every water softener on the market. Soft water regeneration. And the only way you get soft water regeneration is by having a dual tank system. Every single tank electric water softener uses untreated water during the backwashing cycle. Kinetico systems are the world's most efficient softeners and use 70% less water and salt during the backwashing/regeneration cycle. I'll never buy an electric water softener again. And I'm also not worried about whether it's serviceable or not by other companies or that I myself can't service it. Kinetico has over 3700 dealerships in the US alone.
