SoftPro Elite HE Water Softener City Water Review Honest User
Hi, I'm Noah K. I live in Ohio. Craig "The Water Guy" Phillips asked me to share my homeowner experience with local tap water from the city and the SoftPro® Elite HE Water Softener for City Water (Industry's Best Softener & Filter Combo) I purchased.
This is how my adventure unfolded. I hope this helps you make your decision.
The Water Problem That Finally Pushed Me Over the Edge
Did you know that even city water can wreak absolute havoc on your home?
I thought I was safe because we weren't on well water. Boy, was I wrong. After six years in our Ohio home, I was spending a fortune replacing faucet aerators every few months because they'd get completely clogged with mineral buildup. My wife's hair was constantly dry and frizzy, and she was going through expensive deep conditioning treatments like crazy.
The final straw came last winter when our tankless water heater started making this horrible grinding noise. The technician showed me the heat exchanger—it looked like someone had poured concrete through it. "Classic hard water damage," he said. "You're looking at a $1,200 repair, and it'll just happen again without treatment."
That's when I started researching water softeners seriously.
