I work on softener systems. I do not recommend sending it into a Regen in the middle of the day like this video. Reason is other water devices will be in use and depending on your unit it could take 2 hours to completely Regen. The Regen process needs the best water pressure you can give it so doing it when you're headed to bed and not using other things is the best time.

This proved the discoloration was due to the softener. The softener was put on bypass for the past 6 months to stop discoloration. Then I saw your video and tried one treatment of the Iron Out. IT WORKED!

The well water was practically off the charts 'hard' and it did not appear as if any salt had been added in months... even though the prior owners lived there up until the day before we moved in. The company that installed the system came out and added some salt and did a regen and nothing else. After very little improvement I found this video.

It's amazing how so many people don't know what and how things should get regular maintenance when owning a home. Specially first time owners. Along with bringing back home ec in schools they should add a week or 2 of being a first time home owner and basic car maintenance. Where and when to change air filters for heat and air, checkup on HVAC units, the need for water heater flushing, when to open or close crawl space vents or which way to flip the switch on a ceiling fan for summer or winter, how long shingles actually last. Where the fluids go in a car, how to change a tire, and the need for regular oil changes and tire rotation. Sure not all things will apply to everyone but a brief explanation of these are the things that will need maintenance and when they should be done; either by you or have them done. Wish I had basic info before problems came up to actually know ALL these things were even needed.

Holy Guacamole! I've watched and enjoyed a lot of your videos and really appreciate the time and effort you put into them. But this one has really saved me!!! Our old (circa 2007) softener has mostly been reliable but due to my negligence and lack of any maintenance I ran into a problem and thought I'd have to bite the bullet and replace it. Overall the softener has been marginal but due to my own negligence I let the salt run out so you can guess the results... Anyway I watched the video thought what the hell and picked up some Iron Out. After following your instructions I did notice a chemical odor and funny taste from the water so I ran a 2nd backwash. Since I'd never done anything but add salt over the last 15 years It took about 2-3 days for the odor and taste to disappear but more importantly the results really shocked me. The water didn't instantly turn soft but during the course of about 4-5 days it kept getting better. It's now at the point where I honestly believe it's as good as new! Many thanks for sharing this!

@gkc5713 4 жыл бұрын

I highly recommend Solar Salt if it’s available in your area. Salt pellets can contain a binding agent to help keep the pellet shape. That binding agent can degrade the performance of the softener and resin tank quicker too. Solar salt is mostly flakes and more “natural” and better long term in the unit. I have been using for 15+ years on well water and have had no issues.

Amazing! After just one Iron Out treatment, water flow thru the softener has increased dramatically. Our washer has a feature where it errors out if there is insufficient flow. Before, we could not get thru a cycle without it stopping. I watched the flow after the first treatment and it looked like Niagara Falls. We were very close to replacing the unit with a new one. You saved us considerable dollars. Thank you very much!!

Thank you, this is what I was wondering. Years ago we started losing water pressure and all I could figure out was to bypass the softener and that worked. Now I'm going to try this and see if I can restore the pressure back, I miss the water feel with the softener.

Great, informative video. We have inherited the need to maintain my in-laws softener. My Mother-in-law recently passed away and she was the one who knew what was going on with the system maintenance. When I checked the tank, there was almost no salt. I'm not sure how bad the softener is / was. Once I got the salt filled up, I ran the regenerate cycle with the Iron out. I'm amazed at how well the iron-out works. I put some in the bathroom sinks that had very bad rust stains. It cleaned them to a like new condition. There is a smell from the water, so I may run the process again.

I bought a water softer from home Depot. they installed it and gave to tips or information on how to maintain it. this was about 15 years ago and tried to charger over $4,000 for the unit. I will never buy one from the again. now I'm going to try this to see if I can get it worked ng again. has not worked In 2 years, just sitting there unplugged and filled with salt. great video. thanks so much. hope it works.

This is great information to get out there. Very practical, helpful, and money saving. You can also just sprinkle about a third of a cup on top of the salt when it's getting down to about the 2 mark (a few days before you're going to put in more salt and you know it's going to recharge soon). This was advised for us by a water analyst. The Iron Out powder has something similar on the instructions for maintenance. I do this every 3-4 months.. depends on your water's iron and your usage.
