My City Water Finally Got Fixed SoftPro Elite HE Review
Hard water was slowly destroying everything in my house — and I was getting sick of it. Every glass had water spots, my skin felt like sandpaper after showers, and my appliances were dying early deaths from mineral buildup. Lamb O. from Ohio here, and after eight months with the SoftPro Elite HE Water Softener for City Water (Industry's Best Softener & Filter Combo), I've got some things to say about whether this system actually delivers on its bold claims.
The Hard Water Problem That Pushed Me Over the Edge
Let me paint you a picture of what life was like before I tackled this hard water nightmare. Every morning, I'd wake up to crusty white buildup on my coffee maker. Sound familiar?
The shower doors looked like they hadn't been cleaned in months, even though I scrubbed them weekly. My wife's hair felt like straw, and my skin was constantly dry and itchy. But the real breaking point came when our three-year-old dishwasher started leaving white film on everything — glasses, plates, silverware.
Our city water tested at 18 grains per gallon of hardness — that's considered very hard water by any standard. The calcium and magnesium minerals were wreaking havoc throughout our entire home.
