On The Go Portable Water Softener

We didn’t start out our full time journey with a water softener, but after a couple of years we added this one to our kit and have appreciated the changes it provides. There are three main advantages to softened water: healthier skin, softer hair and it is better for the plumbing and appliances in your RV. Softened water helps reduce the amount of calcium and magnesium that gets into your RV plumbing, fixtures and appliances. Kate really notices when our softener needs regenerating as she can see the calcium start building up on our dark metal sink fixtures.

Highly recommended if you want the same “at home” quality to your water and care about the calcium/magnesium building up in your plumbing/fixtures. This is especially important for those with on demand water heaters as descaling these units can be quite a challenge.

Additionally I recommend pairing this with a inline water meter to keep track of how many gallons of water are used between regeneration cycles.
