Depending on the exact chemical makeup of the water, the softener passes all the water through a variety of chemicals which remove the calciums and metals. Many softeners are purged every day or two (usually late at night) to clean and rejuvenate the softening minerals. -The reason for this whole operation is that hard water is bad for copper pipe and for cooking in.
If your water softener is supplies the washer, it won't matter --it actually makes your washer work better. If you can afford side-loading units, they save money in the long run. They use a lot less energy and water.
My salt does not seem to be disapearing from my water softner what could be the problem Your problem is not the lines, but the softener resin bed. It is clogged with iron or sediment. Add IronOut to the brine tank and backflush the system repeatedly until flow volume is restored.
Not necessarily. The effectiveness of a water softener depends on various factors like capacity, regeneration process, and maintenance requirements. It's important to consider these factors along with the price when selecting a water softener that meets your needs.
Yes the little gold beads will block your water lines. I am dealing with a clogged line now that is about 100 ft long under ground, the supply line. In my case the water line broke and let the water softner beads come out of the water softner and flushed back down the supply line. I have not at this time removed all of the beads from the line and am not sure that I can get it done. I may have to dig up my line and replace it. So, yes, the little gold beads are flushing back down your supply line and will clog the cold water line.
Yes you can. The main problem you will run into is metal content of the water may stain your plaster. If water quality is a conern, put a water softner on the fill line to "filter out" impurities. GET THE WATER TESTED FIRST --- PLASTER IS EXPENSIVE. Good Luck Yes you can. The main problem you will run into is metal content of the water may stain your plaster.

You can get a water softner, or you might need a new water heater, the pipes inside might be moldly. Call you water company and have your water checked.

You must first connect a 1/2 inch PVC pipe to the outlet for the regeneration fitting on the softner and run this pipe outside and trench to the sewer drain and tie into sewer drain. The sewer drain will then flow the brine regenerater fluid to the septic tank.
I would say in this case I believe that the problem might be that the water is coming from a nearby lake, and that is why the water tastes salty.
take a stool softner
Open the drain at the bottom of the tank and blow it down, about every 30 days or so. I do mine every time I add salt to the softner.
If you are refering to a reverse osmosis, it removes desolved solids such as chlorine, floride, hard water deposits such as calcium and lime. It will even remove sodium from the water if you have a water softner. Most R/O's can reject up to 95% of disolved solids.
