RV Water Softener
Reviews - Pros And Cons
Like home water softeners, RV water softener
reviews reveal that they have many
of the same benefits. Softened water is
easier on your skin and also on the plumbing pipes. It also requires less
detergent for washing clothes and provides a longer wear life for them slowing
the dulling process.
There are only two types of RV or portable water softeners. An ion exchange
water system traps calcium and magnesium which makes water hard. This softener
contains resin beads which have electronically charged ions attracting the
minerals. It also helps eliminate hard water deposits and buildup, as well.
A reverse osmosis water system passes the water through a semi-permeable
membrane, trapping the same unwanted minerals and elements. Many portable water
softeners use a combination of both types of systems.
Some of the problems found through RV water softener reviews include the fact
that they require salt refills and have some waste associated with them. The ion
systems exchange calcium and magnesium for sodium producing unsatisfactory
drinking water for those with high blood pressure or for other reasons which
require a low-salt intake.
Water softeners should not be confused with water filters. Filters provide more
healthy drinking and cooking water by filtering out contaminants. They do not
soften water. Water softeners reduce water hardness but do not eliminate the
contaminating minerals that make some water unhealthy for consumption.
RV water softener reviews reveal that locating these softeners for purchase is
fairly easy. Most RV centers and many hardware and home stores carry them. They
may also be purchased online.
As with anything you are going to buy, do your research carefully to find what
is best for you and what is the most cost efficient. There are many makes and
models available. Portable water softeners are not designed for permanent
in-home use and would most likely be disappointing if tried for this situation,
reviewers say.
