We have the Nova systems--whole house filter and water softener. I went with the potassium chloride rather than sodium because my husband didn't care for the slimy feel of the water of our last three water softeners (Michigan and Florida). I have found that while the sodium softeners did not cause any calcium deposit buildup, the potassium system does leave a little. It's not as bad as having no softener, but I wish I had gone with the sodium. We have brushed fixtures (stainless, chrome? Not sure), and I find I have to make sure to dry them off after every use.
I love the taste of the filtered water, however.

Duh. I thought it was just the difference in crystals. Will call, thanks.

A simple Nova system will take care of all your water problems. Great system at a very fair price.

Then you ask WHY? Ask my wife. We moved in here 2 1/2 yrs ago and the day she took her first shower she said the chlorine was going to kill her hair and skin and the water smelled like a swimming pool (slight hyperbole). We put in the whole house filter (how else can you remove chlorine from 2 showers?) and it made a 100% difference and she was happy! Thank heavens for that. As for calcium, we weren't here long enough before putting in the filter to notice any but we have had absolute ZERO traces of calcium in 2 1/2 years including 2 years 3 months having the whole house filter (NO softener). Maybe Amelia has no calcium issues, but either way there is none. Oh, another plug for the Nova system. |

From all the kind neighbors that have replied here, my actions are as follows: 1) I will have a 3 filter Nova system installed when they can work me into their schedule. If needed, at sometime in the future, I may look into 2) installing a water softener, but that will be years down the road. THANK YOU ALL - this is a great forum for sharing knowledge and experiences that saves both time and money (not to mention frustration). |
