Water softener

[wired]

I live in northern california where the water is not hard. Would you get the water softener on the new VORTEX and why? Thanks

I have one in mine and I would never run with out one......

I am going to move mine to the other side of the truck and put in a back flush valve this week end.

they are not that expensive and are easy to maintain worth the extra protection and the help the soft water will give you.....

I think every machine should use soft water. Soft water cleans better, but the problems it saves with you machines are well worth it. Soft is the only way to go. You will loose heat over time with hard water build up.

Are you getting a V?

I would check with local suppliers Steve. I think you get the water from the same place San Francisco gets theirs. It supposed to be one of the best water in the country. I live in San Jose and water here is very hard, you're lucky.

If water softeners are so important and a real threat to machines and causing warranty problems, then the manufacturers should fit them from new.

Its called money............


If they can sell it separate and install it.......more money

If they don't tell you the pluses that it provides for you and you run with out and your chemical usage is higher and you are always replacing parts

you guessed it.........money.........
