Water Softener recommendations

[jc2]

Looks like we will be spending 4 months or so during the upcoming winter at one of the parks in the RGV. Since previous posts from this and other forums indicate that the water can be on the hard side, what would be some recommendations for a reasonably priced water softener for our mh? Thanks

The RV Water Filter Store is a good source of water related products for RVs.

We found an On The Go (The double size, can't recall the actual name of the Single vs Double.) on Craigslist. Good price, got new Resin from On The Go, and off and running we be...

 

So you might keep an eye on Craigslist and see if a similar unit pops up.

 

Best of luck to you,

RV PRO 10,000 is what I use, it works very well.

We have a FloPur Mark 8000. It is an 8000 grain unit. If you have room for a FloPur 10000 grain unit it would not have to be recharged as often as an 8000 grain. The Mark 8000 is similar to the On the Go 8000 grain unit but is less expensive and shipping is free ($182). See Mark 8000/10000

Clay makes a good point on a bit bigger, means less recharging. By luck our Craigslist find Double On The Go is a 16,000 grain unit.

They all seem to be built about the same, so not much differences between units except for size and costs:)!

 

Best,

Another vote for the 16,000 unit. Takes two one pound boxes of salt to recharge. We can typically go 5 to 6 weeks between charges in South Texas where the water is fairly hard, Best Wishes, Jay

I have the On The Go double size and we love it. I regenerate it once per month with regular table salt and it will make water and soap as slick as snot.

My thanks to those that responded with your suggestions. We have decided on the RV Pro 10000 by Flopur. It was on sale for $173 with free shipping.
