Finally someone who has answered ALL my questions without mumbo-jumbo.

Clear and concise......cannot ask for more. Thank you for the great video!

honestly you're brilliant at explaining. thank you!

Thanks I got the benefits from this video.

You're a cool knowledgeable guy! 😎 Thank you for a very thorough and thoughtful explanation of all things about water softeners. ❤️

Great video, all the details I needed , to understand my water new softener :)

Glad I found your videos about to have one installed in my home.

Very good explanation sir,can you have details about declorination tank.

Hi...great video! Question...outlet that supplies power to water softener needs replacement; can't make repair for a couple weeks. Is it going to cause any problem not having power to water softener for 2 weeks? Thank you!

Very nice presentation and tutorial!! The iron and manganese affecting the resin is great news!! 10 out of 10 for your video!!!

Great video!

Appreciate you for sharing information. ❤

Hi John, My borehole water is very hard. Is it possible to have water that is too hard to soften? My water lab results states 522mg/L. My borehole is 65m deep. and also another question to which I am struggling to find the answer is: how do I decide the micron sediment filtration.. My lab results states a turbidity of 5,5. So do I go with like a 10 and then 5 micron filter or does this require something like an AFM vessel with activated glass media? Thank You

One of the best videos

Is there a pipe that goes through the bottom of the salt holder? I see a black hose that comes in at the top.

Hi all, I have a new well and the water is slightly salted. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks

I’m having problems with the backwash brine clogging my plumbing drains. White and black looking sediment coming up my kitchen sink drain also. Any answers are helpful twice this year had to unclog drains because of the sediment.

Good teacher

By the way, what are the criteria that determine standard efficiency vs high efficiency softeners ?

Excellent presentation.

Great video :)

Do you know what criteria determine efficiency ? I heard both Fleck and Clack are standard efficiency, not high efficiency.

Whats separating the brine tank from the potable water line? Shouldnt there be an air gap on the feed line to the resin tank?

A nice clear explanation! But don't you mean 'without a water softener, appliances will inevitably fail sooner than their expected lifespan', rather than 'with a water softener ...' (here I'm going by the text version in your blog: unfortunately KZfaq won't let me post the link).

John, in my industrial 96" round water Softner, I'm loosing upwards of 50psi from fill to discharge, resin is 3 years old. Why such a pressure drop?

My water softener is less than a year old and I noticed some resin on the ground with a back washed is this normal

i am in the process of installing a water softener system and i have 3 important questions that my plumber is not able to answer: 1) Should the water softener be installed before a water filtration system or should it be installed after the water filtration system? Or the sequence does not matter? 2) How much salt is in the water softener's backwash discharge? 3) Is the backwash discharge from the water softener system harmful to the environment where it needs to be disposed through the sewer line, or can the backwash/discharge water be used for gardening purpose?

What happens if you can’t see the iron in the glass you said when you hold it up you can’t see it. It has to be in solution but it shows up in my tub or sink. Does that still mean that it’s grab by the resin? If I can see it in the tub but I can’t see it in a glass will the ion exchange still work to remove the iron?

I have well water that is very salty. Will that cause issues with a water softener system???

What other things are in the cat ion family that can be removed? Do you have or can you provide a list of those things?

How long the resins last? How do we know when to replace it? Can we reuse the resins?

is it safe for septic system

How does the water softener drain? Is it by gravity or is there a motor that pumps the brine out?

Should the water be a few inches above the salt

Push connects should never be used.

My water is soft but it has iron and causes a yellow stain on my new shower stall... which water filter do I need to use??

Hard water drinking softener solution which maintains minerals in it Any softener which doesn't remove all the minerals.

Business must be booming for your company since you see no need to answer any questions.

Ok so first the water goes into a brine tank full of salt right? Salt is sodium perchloride table salt is just bleached and steralized with iodine.. but yea, so the water is now saturated with the brine solution. Then it goes through a tank full of plastic beads.. so the brine tank.. does it ever need to be refilled with more salt? Yes, it does, often.. the resin does not because it is acting as a filter media. so this ion exchange your talking about is a sales tactic which is true in a sense of saying if you take a pinch of salt then drop in a glass of water than you “exchanged ions” Between the sodium and h2o making it h2o+NaCl.. effectively doin this “ion exchange”. a liquid getting super saturated then filtering through a media that only allows the liquid to filter a certain percentage before allowing it to pass through.. once the media gets over saturated with the salt then the brain of the softener goes into flush mode which puts water directly into the resin media tank to flush it . Then valve resets and begins using the brine solution.. An ion exchange can only occur when an electron loses a positive ion and gets a negative ion in exchange which puts a positively charged ion into atmosphere which will bond with other negatively charged.. when a positive ion exchanges for a negative you get the negative ion which in the air purifiers its creating ozone and the negative ion attaches to the oxygen .. a lot more of science behind that but if you believe the softener is exchanging ions which make the water soft your kind of correct but mostlynot..'

the resin looks like caviar

Scarry things.

Thoroughly explanation 😍🤍💖

I came here to find out what was going on with the plate of noodles. 🙃
