I install water softeners with salt tanks it's a brand called Marlo it looks just like that with the two valves in the back. It's interesting to me that you're by pass is in the yard we usually install them right behind the unit. Marlo also lets you set the time it regens and it will let you set how many days or gallons used. The standard is every 14 days or after 1200 gallons of use. I use clear primer for the most part but some counties require that you use purple to pass inspection.

always make sure the inlet and outlet are on the correct side. I have seen plenty where inlet and outlet are reversed from one another! Nothing ruins your day like plumbing one reversed and having some of the filter media get out into water lines and clog faucets, solenoids, fill valves, aerators. there's always some filter media that escapes the first few cycles from factory assembly, usually it's minimal and only out the drain during initial backwash, except when plumbed backwards 🤣

Most big box brands are made by either Ecowater or Hague. Ecowater is the largest manufacturer of domestic ion exchange systems. This would include Whirlpool, Kenmore, North Star - what you get with these is a lower spec Ecowater softener that is perfectly fine. Ecowater branded softeners are sold by dealers and have all the bells and whistles. Stay far away from junk brands like Fleck. I've never heard of either of these brands in the video, but they appear to be marketed by plumbers. Which explains a lot. If you have a water quality problem best to contact a water quality specialist instead.

Where I live. the water hardness is between 13-50 grains of hardness depending on the city. customers were getting white powder covering their showers and non of their hard water problems were being fixed. If you want great drinking water and not showering in chemicals. The Halo is great. Specially if paired with an actual water softener.

My purple joints look amazing but there is no code in Texas that says your primer has to be purple. Plumbers tell helpers to do that I believe thinking the inspector will see purple primer and green tag it even though the glue they use which is 100 times more important is clear because they are to cheap to by grey or blue glue or any medium body glue. Btw I will debate anyone who tries to tell me its not glue it’s solvent cement. If it’s solvent cement bonding material at the molecular level then you must not know what a molecule is.

It would be good to get your water tested by a state approved compliance lab since you are on a well. An approved compliance lab will test your water with a GS/MS machine that will give you a report that is the gold standard in the water filtration industry. It is highly accurate and precise. That way you have an idea of the water you are dealing with. Contact a water quality specialist. What is a high amount of iron? Do you see staining in sinks? A softener can remove up to 3ppm of iron. And 3ppm of iron will cause staining. Above 3ppm and you will need some additional equipment for effective removal and be aware it can get expensive to remove iron.

This was a real kill your hero moment for me. As a fellow plumber ive installed at least thirty of these for my company. Heres what ive come to learn. 1 if you have hard water this will basically do nothing to prevent calcium build up/ corrosion. 2 The main difference this will make in your water is the taste and smell. This shiny tin can is manufactured to remove the chlorine from your water some plumbers will tell you this unit will give you "alkaline water" but if you check the acidity of your water its generally pretty close to what it is pre unit. 3 Talking to an old staff member of Halo water he told me of an interaction with the owner of halo water where they were pushed to sell the units with a salt and brine softner on top of the halo 5 (One to actually "soften" the water the halo 5 to remove the salinity and improve water taste) All in all most of the plumbers i know wouldnt recommend this unit unless if hard water isnt an issue and you just want improved taste. Most of us refer to it as the chrome bottle of snake oil. On top of that most companies are charging 4800-5200 for these ineffective "water conditioners"

Do you have any recommendations? I'd like to remove fluoride, heavy metals, and chlorine.

Typically use a purple primer to please some inspectors that want to see the primer.

I get the impression that Roger doesn't like Flowtech anymore. I may be wrong.
