It is simple and convenient to set up because it requires no tools to do, and it is easy to regenerate because it requires very little salt. What consumers like most about this portable water softener is how effectively it works.

  • This compact softener only needs two boxes of 26oz. table salt to regenerate and only takes about a half hour to complete.
  • It requires no tools or electricity for installation. Simply connect the inlet hose to the softener and to the RV’s water supply, add salt and regenerate, and it’s ready to use.
  • The inlet high-flow shut-off control valve promotes a slow rinse time which improves water quality and water capacity.
CONS
  • There doesn’t seem to be many disadvantages discussed by consumers about this water softener, which bodes well for the quality of the water softener.
  • Consumers overall are overwhelmingly happy with this water softener. The only disadvantage that consumers complain about is that the hose fittings that come with the water softener are made of plastic and have the possibility of leaking, but most consumers didn’t seem to have this problem with the water softener’s attachments.
  • This negative review could be situational to the particular consumer that left the review. Either the attachments were not attached properly, or those particular attachments were defective.
