There's not some, there's a significant amount here, do you have any knowledge of what is in this so called sediment?
Sand, silt, lose scale, clay, organic materiel, suspended Iron & manganese to mention a few. this is the materiel that collects in water heaters, toilet tanks, faucet screens - shower heads, toilet mechanizes, valves etc

You are incorrect about the placement of a sediment and carbon filter relative to a water softener.
Wrong again, not sure where you get your info from, carbon is always last in any filtration system.

As far as salt added thru softening the amount is directly calculated by the hardness of the water there is not one single value.

But not much sense in debating that point with you.

Quote:
The granulated carbon will require eventual replacement as it becomes "overloaded" with chlorine - how soon is a function of the chlorine levels.
Granulated carbon is not the right type to use, in fact Granular Activated Carbon does not remove sediment / particulate material.

With all due respect you are regurgitating miss information to readers herein.

I prefer not to debate this point further with you since you are hell bent on softeners and how you believe they work.

I have 40 years experience with water filtration!
