News flash, it's not the salt that softens the water, if you used salt to soften the water, you would get salt water. Just think a little can you trust this "expert" if hes telling you salt stiffens your water? He's almost got it.. your soft water System used a bead n system that attracts the calcium and magnesium when water flows through it, when those beds have absorbed as much Calcium and magnesium as they can, the system first back flows then the brine tank filed with the salt floods the bead container and the sodium treats with the beads and knocks the calcium and magnesium off the beads. With a soak, then it back flows b the saltwater out and goes through a high pressure since for a minimum of 20 minutes, the beads repel sodium so durring this since the caucus is flushed out with the salt water until the beads tank is clean and all salt is removed. Then the brine tank is filled for the next flush, and the beads are clean. You do not taste the salt because it's the first thing that leaves during that since beads the beads repel the sodium, that chemical reaction also causes everything in the beads to fall off, TLDR the salt cleans the water softenern medium, and gets flushed out after cleaning and you do not taste the salt because the cleaning reaction makes the media repel everything during the rinse.

Can you regulate the softness of the water? I hate that feeling that you cannot rinse off when taking a shower.

Great Video! How does Novo compare to Springwell whole home water filters? I’ve heard good about both. Does the Novo filter out the PFASs and PFOSs and such like the Springwell? Thanks!

thank you for sharing! Texas Tony

Well, kind of. Conditioners don't "soften" the water, so yeah, no such thing as salt free softeners. But the conditioners do sequester the hard minerals in such a way as to prevent the scale from building up. Most people like have those minerals in their water, too.

Mister did you also installed a reverse osmosis under the sink or it’s enough clean with those 2 tanks, thanks for the informative video.

Hi Jack. Do you service San Diego area? I’m interested in adding a whole property water softener system to my property. I have to install two systems, because I have two buildings on separate water meters. If you don’t service San Diego, do you have anyone that you can refer me to? Thanks!!!

Looks like $6000 to me

great video, excellent choice of music! thanks!

I have some questions about the carbon filter. I had a system installed about 7 years ago that I am happy with. However my system only has the brine tank and then one other that contains both the carbon filter and the resin beads. The company comes out every two years to change out the carbon filter portion of the tank. This raises some questions. Is my system as effective as yours and how long does your much larger carbon filter last? By the way my one single tank is no larger than either of your tanks.

Thanks for the useful information! Nicely done job and video. How did you handle the waste stream from the backwashing?

What would be the average install price for THIS system in the video? Ballpark

Great video.

Thank your so much! Very straight forward and informative. My wife and I bought our first home in December and are hearing a lot of conflicting things from coworkers, plumbers, our family about water softeners and filters. I wish there was a system that could soften and filter the water without having to worry about putting sodium in our irrigation system and killing our new trees if we intercept the water main, but it sounds like no such system exists. Nonetheless, your video is VERY appreciated.

How about Nuvoh2O water softner systems?. They claim to be the best on the market. Are they any good in your opinion?

very informative, thank you God bless you

I don’t see where you installed a drain for the salty wastewater. The salt goes in the sewer system and is not easily removed in a treatment center. Also as of 2014, California effectively banned the installation of salt softeners by leaving it up to the local governments. But also fining municipal water districts whose treated wastewater did not meet certain standards. I can taste the salt in a whole house salt water system. It gives me a stomach ache and doesn’t quench my thirst, actually making me thirstier. When visiting someone who has a system, I see that they buy bottled water to drink.

Great information! I saw another video from a plumber stating he recommends allowing city water to flow in the house once a week so that chlorine is introduced to avoid bacteria. What are your thoughts? He was installing a Halo 5 by the way. Thank you for your time.

People rarely want soft water - they want relief from hard water (like white crusty faucets, and can't lather shampoo). Water conditioners fix those symptoms and are the way to go. Water softeners go overboard giving you "can't rinse your hair fully feeling after shampoos", and salted water that you shouldn't drink or use to water plants (indoor or out). This misleading video confuses people by linking "salt-free conditioners" and the non-existent "salt-free softeners", and doesn't explain actual benefits. Do your homework folks. You can solve your hard water symptoms without these large, expensive, water-wasting flushing water softeners that constantly need heavy bags of salt.

Nice job 🤙🏼

How about a whole house distiller... distilling absolutely will remove everything

Rather good vid, however lose the "noise" during the install...

The filtered and softened water hose bib is genius

The work music did for me😂😂❤

I’m new to Las Vegas and I have had some bids on systems. Can a one tank solution really work decently? Salt with 10% resin filter and a coconut carbon filter in the same tank.

You should install a bypass line to the system.

Very unprofessional! Where is your bypass????

Very good presentation....I do have one criticism, the carbon has nothing to do with the TDS level of your water. The explanation is in the definition of TDS (Total DISSOLVED Solids). I don't care what you have out in the garage, it is doing nothing for the TDS level because they are dissolved solids. They are so small it is going straight through that system. The only thing that effects the TDS level is the semi-permeable membrane of an revese osmosis system because it's actually squeezing the water. The EPA has a max contamination level of 500 ppm they allow your water board to give their customers. If your TDS level is at 450 ppm going into that system in the garage, then it's 450 ppm coming out of that system in the garage. The membrane in the RO will drop that 450 number all the way down to 20-30 ppm making it ideal drinking and cooking water. But, very pleased to see a video on TH-cam with 99% accurate information. I will also note that the sediment filter you added to this install probably isn't necessary for city water. If you're on well water...absolutely. But, city water should be treated anough that filter is not needed. Just another way for water companies to get a little more money from you. One last thing...I'm not familiar with this exact water softener, but every 2 tank system I have ever seen or sold, the resin tank is the tank with the head on it. You had mentioned that first tank was the carbon tank? I'm not really sure how the resin tank would regenerate with the head on the carbon tank. But, you are correct, the carbon tank should be the first tank in the process. The enemy of resin is chlorine. You definitely want to let the water go through the carbon first to remove the chlorine before it hits the resin to lengthen it's life span. I've just never seen a 2 tank system with the backwashing head on the carbon tank...weird. Other than that...good job buddy.

Can you recommend a similar DIY system. Im pretty handy and dont really want to pay the installation cost of one of these systems that are only sold by plumbers.

wjwhats the average price of a good full home water softner?

Ask a woman with long hair to shampoo her hair with this water. She will immediately reject it cause it never feels clean and feels slimy

Is the Aquasure Harmony a good water softener?

As a former electrical contractor and current instructor, I really appreciate the quality of your content. Very nice work!

You are a straight BADASS brother! Clean work, professional attire, well-spoken and knowledgeable. Thanks for sharing your expertise

Awesome video by a knowledgeable water treatment professional. That noise masquerading as music was like an old 78 RPM LP in reverse.

Awesome explanation!

Need different pants looks uncomfortable.

I wish the sales consultants who come to my house to give quotes on these systems had half the knowledge of the sales and support people in these youtube videos

Hey Buddy, is a RO system even necessary if we have a high quality carbon filter? All these companies are pushing the RO systems and say the drinking water won’t be that good without a R/O system

What RO system do you have in your home? Thanks for all the great content.

Fun music choice. Beats the generic country stuff.

Awsome setup up! I was struggling to decide which method works best and yours by far suits me! 1 question my pressure reg valve is a 1 1/4 Watts and its in need of replacement. Do I have to buy an exact one or can I replace it with another brand? Im using the WATTS LF25AUB-Z3 1-1/4 if so please advise which one

Have you tried Filtersorb CT or Filtersorb SP3?

Good information and loved music 😂

Wouldn’t it be better to put the sediment filter before the Conditioning equipment?

My garage is set up very similar and looks as if it could be the same builder but very curious about the drain line? Was there a drain down at the bottom of the wall that was tapped into or did we drill through the wall to a drain outside the garage? Im looking to have a plumber setup my own system but yet to figure the best way to drain the system. A very nice set-up that I want to do in my own garage!!

Thank you so much for such a great video. The soundtrack made the video even better.

Do you isolate other hose bibs thru out the house or at least isolate the water that feed irrigation?

1:14 Cool, local plumber. Got lucky!

That is beautiful work man!
