About:
In this video, Brian reviews the Springwell SS Salt Based ion exchange water softener. We installed one of these super efficient water softening systems on a home with a private well water source and water hardness of 13.71 grains per gallon (GPG). Brian goes over 10 reasons that make this water treatment system stand out above the rest and why it’s a great purchase for the price, as well as a few things that could be a little bit better and who we would recommend this water treatment system for.

We’re on well water and we have extremely hard water. We originally tried Springwell’s water conditioner, but we weren’t happy with it (maybe no scale buildup, but it still left water stains on everything, and it still was like having hard water). Springwell let us exchange it free of charger for the SS4 and we couldn’t be happier. I grew up with hard water and no softener, and I had no idea what I was missing! We use the potassium chloride to avoid the sodium issue. And I’ll add that this (plus the CF4 and the UV filter) was my first ever plumbing project and it went well. We’re extremely happy with the Springwell system.

I have a different installed from Springwell that has been working great, I would be interested to the TapScore before and after with this system shown in the video.

Can you explain how you would have a slight increase in electricity usage? I would assume that soft water would enable the water heater to heat more efficiently therefore lowering the electricity bill even over the small amount of usage the machine uses.

When I investigated what the crosslink resin is made of, I found it contains DivinylBenzene DVB a known toxin . When I called Springwell the rep had no clue as to what the resin is made of . I used the lab that you recommended to test my tap water and I did a comprehensive test and I found that they don't test for DVB . What are your thoughts ?

[matthewjsparks]

Thanks for the vids. I'm not quite a prepper, but I was wondering if you could recommend a system that I can use to filter and drink pool water in an emergency?

I need your help with a question! The FutureSoft® Salt-Free Water Softener- do I need a water loop? I’m in a newer home that was built without one. I’m in need of something to get rid of hard water. Advice?

[jessrocks]

I have a problem with sediment clogging the faucets and lime stains in the showers as well as sensitive skin. Do you think the springwell salt based or non salt based would be better for me? We have 2.5 bath. Which size do you think would be better if we don't want to lose water pressure? We do have a tankless waterheater and do not have a sprinkler system. Would any of these systems complicate matters with our tankless or if we were to install a sprinkler system?

Did you look at Kinetico and how does it compare? I am on well water in a rural area and two of my neighbors have Kinetico Premium system. They both recommend it.

[chewbacca]

Thank you for your reviews snd testing. How does Kinetico compare, i like the regen tech, but also when no electricity to operate ths system is involved.

[CoreyTXdad]

I see that Springwell also have whole home filter and also under sink RO units too. Would you recommend these as well? Also is UV purification needed?

[dianeplume]

I found your video to be very informative. Can you give your opinion on the EVO E-3000? It's a salt free unit, but it looks pretty good from what I can tell. I would really appreciate an unbiased opinion. Thanks!

[skeletronmw]

What would you recommend for hard water + iron + iron bacteria?

[BenGonzales-irin]

Have you evaluated the Ecowater system sold at COSTCO? Is it worth the money?

[meganwillette]

Thank you for the video it was very helpful! Do you have a preference between salt based and salt free? I want the salt based for the soft water feel but it would be nice not to need install a loop. Also I did not see a coupon code in the comments is there one available? Thank you very much!!

Hi, I am currently reading your "8 Best Water Softener Systems (August 2023)" reviews guide. In the guide, you state that the SpringWell SS1 Salt-Based Water Softener System is the best overall. However, you also state in the same guide that the DROP Smart Water Softener is the best premium choice. This has me confused on which system you are actually saying is the best. If price and maintenance costs were not a factor, which water softening system would be your #1 choice? Thank you for the work that you do!

Hello from Denver! I am looking to increase the overall quality of the city water. Would you recommend Water Filter + Salt Based Water Softener System Combo from SpringWell for Denver city water? Or you know of a better options?

[robertgoodwin]

This system was recommended as removing nitrates, however in tour review i dont see anything about nitrates. have you tested nitrate polluted water with it?

I’m checking into home pure 385. What do you think about this system ?

[SmartMoufShirts]

OK, ours just stopped working. It's about 24 years old, and we didn't know we had it until it quit. Now we have horrible water, and have to replace an appliance about which we know absolutely nothing.
Here's my first challenge. I don't have any idea what kind of water elements we need to filter out. We're on city water in Indianapolis, and we have a sewar. I also don't know how big of a system to get. We have three full bathrooms, but use them at about 90% for toilet & sink, and 10% for showers. We never fill a bath tub. Other than that, we have a washing machine that is used daily, and a dishwasher that is used daily. We just replaced our water heater in 2024.
How do I know the right one to buy?

[dustinhackney]

Is it a problem to get a bigger unit even if i only have 2.5 bathrooms to ensure there is no water pressure drop?
