You need a whole house filter system osmosis system only helps your drinking water what about the water you shower with and that get into your skin pores

Im on a well with some iron and maganese .. I have a spin down filter(40 micron), a “three stage cartridge filter” (which includes a 5micron sediment and a carbon filter), a tank iron filter and a water softener . I’ve read and have been told that the “three stage filter” can go between the iron filter and water softener .. would this be ok. I feel if it’s before the iron filter the 5 micron cartridge may get bogged down.. ?

Thanks so much. I was able to fix my leaking...would not have checked that the seal was still stuck in the housing..lol

How do I know which model or style to get for my situation? I have a water softener followed by a carbon filter, still have a smell, tried shocking the well also. Does the unit go before the softener than?

Hi Gary, I stumbled on your videos for the last handful of years. We have a cottage on a small lake and get a lot of tannins in our water. I was thinking about putting together my own tannin filter. It looks like i may be able to get a mineral tank for a few hundred bucks, possibly a less. I also have a spare brine tank. I haven't looked into any other costs yet. Resin etc. Do you have an opinion or a video on someone doing their own tannin filter system ? I'd love to hear any thoughts you have. Thx

✍️🍏🍏🍏 So let me understand this… We the People live in the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, We have highly sophisticated technologies, We have given $ trillions of dollars to other countries for their people’s welfare, We have over $35 trillion dollars in U.S. debt, We pay ARBITRARY & UNCONSTITUTIONAL “taxes” on everything and anything the political elite can get through a corrupt Congress and bureaucracy - whom collectively refuse to STOP SPENDING! - and WE THE PEOPLE have to be concerned that our drinking water from our faucets is NOT HEALTHY for us!!! 😂 We are in trouble America 🇺🇸

At 4:08 you said the "hard water has calcium magnesium in it, that's what makes it soft." Then LATER at 4:45 you said the calcium is washed AWAY to make the water soft. I'm so confused. Can you explain how the calcium makes it soft but then when removed makes it softer, please?

You had your bypass system turned around the opposite way, so initially what you were saying was an inlet was actually the exit 👌

Lmao should be ok if I watch it at the age of 19 I’m from Europe so all good 😊

We are limited for indoor space. Is there a system like this that would work outdoors in a 4-foot crawl space?

Unfortunately, there is no proprietary examples given in the video. I don't know what to look for as I am in Europe and dealing with non-English speakers.

Seems like every 2 years I have constant running after replacing the auto shut off valve so this time I turned off the tank I’ll draw two or three glasses of water, and I don’t hear it. But when I open the tank it just runs forever. Could it also be the tank bladder isn’t pumped enough to give enough pressure to get the ASV to work? I am assuming that is the issue when it’s really warm in Phoenix. Edit: I just replaced the ASV now and it didn’t seem to work Edit: so maybe a pump of air in the bladder will work.

Im not 21 and i isnt legal here what are u gonna do about it

Gary, Excellent videos thanks for all the effort! I just bought a house and the water hardness came back at 15.2gp/g with iron 1.8ppm. I would like to put it in the crawlspace with the rest of the equipment. Do you have any options for a 40" tall space?

“They don’t work” with no explanation seems like a convenient dodge to push products of companies that are your preferred manufacturers.

“ThAtS gOttA be goOd foR it rIGhT - WELL MAYBE ☝🏻🤓”

I know this is an old video but wanted to comment in hopes you see it and can answer. I've recently left city water to well water and have hard/iron water. The house came with a water boss 900 that works quite well. I have 15g hardness with 3ppm iron so I run it at 30 setting per manual. Thanks to your videos I've learned a ton and recently learned I need to clean the media every few months for the iron to not foul. We're currently using a rust defender salt from Morton that works pretty good. Do you think I should also periodically apply iron out to the brine well on top of the rust defense salt use? Thanks for all the support in your videos. You can easily see your passion!

there is no uv light?

good job I was looking to find this my old water system was 3/8 tubing and water flow from tap was strong I changed the system and all tubing is 1/4 that's why I have low pressure water out of tap I will change my tank tubing back to 3/8 and check i hope works and I will update here

I couldn’t make it past 1:24 with that ridiculously loud and obnoxious buzzer. Why was that necessary? You could have at least normalized the audio; that’s a single button click.

Is your housing cap installed properly in the video? I thought the pressure relieve button was on the inlet side of the cap but your video shows it on the outlet side.

I have an old Autotrol 255/460i system which was leaking like a sieve until I purchased a valve disk kit recommended by Pentair to try. Since my plumber was coming over anyway I asked him to install the flappers. That fixed the leak from the valve itself, now I have a lot of water coming out of my drain hose. I haven't tried shutting off the bypass valve (which the video says will determine if the 255 valve is still defective) because the system is in regeneration mode. Water now is really coming out of the drain hose but I read elsewhere during regeneration as much as 66 gallons can be drained during regen. Is this accurate? Also I have the timer set at the right hour of the day but regeneration is occurring at 9 a.m. I thought the system was automatically set for 2 or 2:30 a.m.?

OK, so if I have a well that has a jet pump hooked up to what he calls a pressure tank, but mines does not say pressure tank. It says reserve tank. It’s basically the same thing they both hold water inside of a bladder system and the bladder system pressurizes the tank, so that you have normal water pressure like if you were hooked up to city water

Excellent explanation thank you!

I only drink LeBleu.

No smart water ?

I live in the country in central Illinois and the water is absolutely terrible. I currently rent a water softener and a tannin filter/softener for around $80 per month and then use about 4-5 bags of salt a month. House is 1800 sq. ft. and have 3-4 people in the house. What would you recommend for a system? Want to buy a system instead of renting. Thanks

Question when i clean brine tank and add salt after that i have to add water or i just let like this dry ?

Hi, why water hardness level shows Ua(unavailable?) in our clack water softner board? Is there any way to fix it?

Great video, thank you. The symptom I am having is that the tank doesn't refill until it's completely empty, then it refills (seemingly) all the way back up. Any idea what would cause that? Shouldn't it refill as water is consumed?

Try @richardsrainwater 💯 rain

Will there not be chemicals left in the pipes ?

Should i run the dishwasher and laundry woth bypass still on? Wont the hard water hurt the machines?

Are filter housings made to fit any brand and type of filter as long as the filter is the appropriate length for that filter housing?

Copper is easy to work with. The plastic lines are junk.

I would think you might want to shut the water heater off for the duration of your procedure . No need to heat water you are going to send down the drain after it done

What happened to Gary??

How often do you replace the filter on the wall behind you

How do you know if you water softener is actually working. The salt level in mine hasn’t moved for some time. Is there a way to test the machine?

Thank you so much you just saved me $18,000

For some reason I can't get the draw cycle to come up on the regen menu. What am I doing wrong?

I really like my Sunkey 64 oz. borosilicate glass w/stainless cap & removable silicone seal for $30 from Amazon. +Wide mouth, cheap, no plastics, durable (for a glass jug). -The biggest downside after 6 months of regular use on handyman jobs is the lack of insulation. Unfortunately, I forgot I left it full in the freezer and it broke **while thawing**(!). It was fine when I pulled it out of the freezer, but broke when the glass warmed up quicker than the ice inside. I was shocked it didn't break from the ice! I would totally buy again if I didn't have to leave it out in the heat regularly.

Helpful details, like showing us what those mysterious tiny beads look like. Curious: what are the beads made of and how do they pull Calcium/iron out of the water? Not the whole chemical process but just nutshell explanation? Thanks much - I’m a city guy - moved to the country, and totally mystified by this strange wonderful system.

My machine isn't like that...😒

How long does it take for all of the water to be emptied from the system? I've had the faucet open for about an hour now.

The fourth reason is that, the client thinks they know better, how to adjust the head, and ends up making a mess of the settings. That's why it's best, to lock it.

Hello, Thank you for these videos, big help. I just started to replace my piston/ seal pack following your vid. However, as I attempted to remove the part I accidentally began to spin that white plastic cog/gear part instead of that whole piece behind it like you did. It caused that threaded shaft thing to move in and out and I don’t remember where its original position was. Is that bad?

Hi, why does my salt reservoir back fill ? All pipework is tight.

Hello I watched your video and was wondering if the UV light does the same as a sediment filter. My well does not have a filter hooked to the line but it does have a UV light. All of this is new to me as a new home owner. Thank you so much for your help. Ms Smith

I have a sterling water softener and those resin got in to my faucet and shower. what is the fix?
