I bought an AD 11 softerner 10 years ago and it’s still working perfectly. Fantastic, how it keeps my central heating boiler in pefect condition. My water is as hard as church bells knockers, and yet the heat exchanger never needs attention. The water is very soft and all it needs is salt tablet which are as cheap as chips from Booker Cash Carry

Comment on Do NOT Buy! Here is Why Rainsoft Water Softener Might NOT Be Worth It by James Marhover

Just bought a whole home Rainsoft system, RO under kitchen sink, air cleaner for the HVAC and a system for the laundry machine. After only a week I could not be happier with the system. I did get 2 years no interest to help make it a little more affordable. I can actually drink public water again and not have to buy bottled water or have it delivered anymore. Plus hair and skin feel a lot better, and spending less on lotions and hair products. I also get free soaps and shampoos for 5 years!

In reply to Matt.

Hi Matt – thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. I admire and appreciate your experience – both in the plumbing industry and with this tech. I was not aware of this tech being applied to the oil industry. Pretty neat.

I do know that when I tested this tech the accretion of hard minerals on a test surface was not noticeably different than untreated hard water. Maybe the way this is executed in oil rigs is different or perhaps the amount of scaling allowed to consider this tech acceptable makes this not as useful in the residential application. Not sure.

In reply to sheila crow.

Hi Sheila – unfortunately I don’t have firsthand experience with that valve but Johnson Controls does have a good reputation. I also understand the issue with the Flo auto shutoff device seeing false positives and shutting off water when it shouldn’t have. The issue with most of these companies like Moen and Johnson Controls is that while they will likely get the hardware right as they have a lot of experience with the mechanical parts, the software written for these products is where things end up breaking or not working ideally. SW is not a core strength as it’s just too new to these companies and the engineering+product focus hasn’t really transitioned to SW in the same way.

In reply to StefB. Hi there - yes, if the hardness in your water is not mild then the Aquasana conditioners will not be sufficient. You need a salt-based softener that uses ion exchange to remove the calcium (and magnesium) from your water.

I have the Aquasana filter and salt free softener. Been using it for 9 years and everything is still covered in calcium. I’m not sure what to do.

Comment on 2 Reasons Why You Should NOT Buy A Berkey Water Filter by Joy

In reply to Debbie.

I am looking into getting a Berkey, but will also look into a few of the things you mentioned. The product was suggested by Healthwyze. https://healthwyze.org/search/results.cgi?)QUERY=berkey
I no longer believe anything that EWG puts on their web site. Lead free mama Tamara Rubin has been trying to get them to remove their verifications on children’s products with lead. https://tamararubin.com/2022/12/template-letter-for-lead-safe-mama-readers-to-use-to-write-ewg-asking-them-to-remove-lead-contaminated-products-from-their-site/

Here is one of the products she has tested. https://tamararubin.com/2025/07/ewg-verified-baby-sunscreen/. She is currently working hard to let people know about EWG and their practices.
