Smoother, Brighter Skin and Hair

One of the biggest complaints people have for hard water are the skin and hair issues that come with it. The minerals in hard water clog pores and dry out skin and hair, leaving you with itchy, dry skin and a flaky scalp. Soft water removes those minerals and improves your skin and hair significantly.

  • Softer, smoother skin
  • Improvements to acne
  • Removes soap residue from skin and hair
  • Smoother, silkier hair

Why choose soft water?

Hard water contains many minerals.

Put simply, water hardness is the amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium in the water. While these minerals are not harmful to us, they can cause many undesirable effects. They are damaging to pipes and appliances and can cause skin and hair issues for many people. For many people with hard water, it is a nuisance and soft water is the solution. Through the ion-exchange process, hardness molecules are removed from your water, in return giving you soft water.

Soft water has many benefits.

  • Soft water provides you with cleaner, clearer dishes.
  • Soft water provides you with cleaner and brighter clothing, too.
  • With soft water, appliances last longer and work more efficiently without clogged pipes.

Exactly as advertised with easy to follow DIY instructions. Most importantly, I'd like to give a huge 5 star thank you to the rep from Aplus Water who answered my questions professionally, politely and to my complete satisfaction. Very rare these days to have good customer service like that! They knew my name, address and model purchased and I did not have to be passed to 8 different people or stay on hold to get service. Refreshing!!

This is a great product, so is their Iron Filter. I have both installed with great success. I had issues with yellow water at the start but their customer service supported me through the whole ordeal. What a great team! from Heather to Tony, they were both great. Quick and courteous support. Product shipped fast, in good condition, like i said, communication with seller/company is great which is what made me buy from them in the first place. They also have tons of instructional videos online(youtube) which is great for setup. I would buy from them again without a doubt!!!!!! don't hesitate, if you have yellow or tinted water, buy both their systems and you'll be in good hands!

I originally got some quotes to install a water softener/conditioner from a few full service companies like Culligan or EcoWater who were quitting me around $3k-$4k for what is essentially a fleck 5600sxt with proprietary parts you can't service yourself. I did a little research and decided I could but an industry standard unit and install it myself. Mission accomplished! And I'm all in for less than $700 including salt, extra connectors/fittings, tools, and other supplies. The unit works just as described and I was able to tell the difference in the water during my first shower to clean up from the install.ABC water made a great installation video on YouTube that was you through the whole process. It took me about 1.5 hours from start to finish.In addition to this softener you will need the following items to complete the install:- 1/2" drain line and house clamps- 1" connectors to connect the control valve to the plumbing (I suggest sharkbite lines with either an integrated or separate shut off valve to service local leaks.)- You may need a few extra connectors and pipe lengths for your specific plumbing depending on the location of the line you need to intercept.Planning out the entire install in advance to make sure you have everything you need before you start really helps make it a smooth and stress free install.Tip: Make sure you run the water at the nearest cold water tap (preferably a laundry or garage sink) for 10-15 minutes to clear out the excess resin and particulates that will wash out after the install. Wait until the water runs clear and then follow instructions for bleeding air from your pipes to avoid having water that appears milky (it's just tiny air bubbles). If you don't do this you might be in for a surprise the first time you use your water and it comes out brown and gritty.

The installation is really straightforward. A YouTube video is provided by the supplier and it is easy to follow. You will have to do a backwash right away after installation is complete. It took about an hour and a half to do that.So far, the iron level has been reduced significantly and the water is definitely softer. So far, we are very pleased.

easy to install replaced my old water softener . this comes with a 1 inch connector, there is a 3/4 inch connector available and i switched this out and it was an easy connect just disconnected the hoses from the old and connected them to the new softener. this is the best softener that i have had, and i have had multiples over the 30 years the water has no sulfur or iron smell or taste. we have a heavy iron problem in this area.after one year service this softener is going strong with no iron smell or taste in water. it does use a fair ammount of salt but it is worth it for the clean water no shower or toilet stains no smell.After 1year this softener is still working well. No iron smell or taste in the water. Will update from time to time.Update. June 2022 I installed this unit in august of 2018. It has functioned very well removing iron and sulfur smell from the water. Occasionally we would exhaust the resin and iron and smell would return although much less intense. A regeneration would fix this. I installed an iron filter in front of this unit and we have no issues now no matter how much water we use. I also add iron out to the brine tank when I add salt to help keep the resin clean. I have owned this house since 1986 and have tried various water treatment units. We have heavy iron and this is the best water treatment combo I have found the water is taste and Oder free. And we love the soft water and my wife loves doing laundry in the soft water. No orange toilets. It’s now June 2022 and the system is working nicely.Now may 2024 softener still doing a great job no orange water. Water still soft. I add iron out to the brine tank every month due to our high iron. Installed this in 2018 so am pleased with this unit.

Owned it for 2 months and seems to be working great. We are on well water and when our old softener broke, all of our water turned orange (from iron). Package arrived in 3 boxes and was quite heavy but was not an issue.Got it professionally installed and our water went back to clear. Saved over $2000 from going through a dealer. Hopefully it lasts at least 5 years to make the investment worth it.

I knew nothing about wells, filtering water, plumbing, salt, nada... I plumbed this in with Pex a couple months ago and no I didn't get it right the first day, or week, took about a month or two slowly improving it a little at a time. I had clear water that was hard and turned everything orange and it had a sulfer smell. After setting this up the water was softer, but the orange stains were still occuring and the smell was still there. I added a filter that ionized the iron before this system. The filters are about $80, but it helped. Then I switched to a charcoal filter for my sediment filter 5 micron. All this did slow down my water pressure and I was close to a solution, still getting the sulfer smell but the staining was much better. Finally out of desperation I took the well cap off and dumped some fairly potent bleach water down the well shaft. It was something like half gallon of bleach to 3 gallons of water. I was too lazy to unscrew all four bolts on the well head, they were rusty. I just unscrewed one and dumped the water slowly down the bolt hole. I was hoping to kill the iron feeding bacteria that creates the sulfer smell. I bypassed all my filters for this and ran the water from the ground up through the pipes into the holding tank, bypassed all filtering softening, and ran the sink until bleach smell started. Then shut it all down and let it sit for a couple hours. Then I flushed it throughly until the bleach smell was completely gone, took awhile at least 150 gallons to flush it. That was 2 months ago and my water is like bottled water. I think I'm going to do that bleach trick a couple times a year, it seems to last awhile. I got all kinds of crud out of the pipes. I'm pretty sure my concentration of bleach was drastic. I might cut that down a bit on subsequent tries. Basically now that I got it all configured it's working great. Don't expect this system to clean the iron/sulfer out, it might help a little but don't expect much in that department. Overall this system is playing it's part as expected. Nothing has broke and it seems adequate. I'm guessing the salt bin will go first, but it looks cheap to replace. I only have a small cabin in the woods and it sits a lot not being used.
