Does this filter soften water as well or just filter chlorine?

I believe this describes the difference between levels 1 and 2: http://www.aquapura.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store;_Code=22e&Category;_Code=Consumer It's not for softening, although I believe it has a mild softening effect.

My filtering out the chorine, it definitely softens as well though I don't know if it claims to do that. We still use a water softener for the mineral issue.

The filter that comes with it is for chlorine, however, they do sell a saltwater one for the pool. Don't expect the pool to last more than two seasons. We were very careful to put it away in the fall, but the inflatable ring will eventually get some kind of hole or separation. The pool was used almost every day for us and at its cost was well worth it. We actually just bought the bigger and deeper one.

The shower head acts as a filtration system that helps remove any unnecessary minerals from hard water so it will definitely soften the water. We have hard water is our system and the micro fabric filter helps collects & traps all those contaminants.

It removes pollutants from regular water. Also it removes chlorine and some fluoride as well (by carbon fiber filter). Please be well informed.

I don't know. I like mine. I can smell the chlorine in the water again when it's time to change the filter.

Can't be sure the brita softens the water. But it definitely takes the chemical/mineral taste out of the water and makes the water taste so much better.

water filtration systems come in all shapes and sizes. What the water softener/conditioner is going to do for you is protect your fixtures specifically from damage caused by hard water. filtration systems are usually to protect yourself from the chemicals in the water not the calcium, which is actually an essential mineral humans need to survive. that's one of the reasons the Nuvo h2o system is beneficial, it doesn't remove the minerals that are good for you but simply allows them not to cling to your fixtures. hope this helps

Because your water softener is simply replacing calcium ions with sodium ions, so it's normal for the reading to be about the same. Water softeners don't filter, they substitute a "softer" ion for calcium.

I don't know exactly what the chemical is, all of the clarifies are basically the same, they have a substance that coats the filter making it more sickie so that it can capture particles that are much smaller than the filter is able to capture. This results in very clear crisp clean water.

No. I use a charcoal filter. It removes almost all the chlorine , no taste or smell in the filtered water. I change it every six months.

Yes, this softener will clean most of the alkalinity (white stuff) from the hardest of water like I have here in Texas. You will love the feeling of the soft water when bathing. It makes soap last longer with laundry and dish washing. I also use a reverse osmosis unit for drinking, the tea kettel and making ice. It makes the softened water even better.

The charcoal filter element just takes out the chlorine and other stuff from tap water. It is healthier than bottled water in soft plastic bottle as it contains no phthalates, which are toxic. And it is a much classier container.

I don't believe the type of filter you have matters. I happen to have a cartridge type filter, however, I've been using the PhosFree chemical for 3 years now, and I have never had a clearer, better feeling and algae free pool. It seems to extend the chlorine life and gives the water a softer feeling. My wife loves it too.

It should not make any differences whether you plumb it from a well or after a water softener unit. You should get the unit with a chemical adding filter to add vitamins and nutrients back into the water regardless. The water softener unit will take the hardness minerals out of the water before the reverse osmosis system does.

I bought this because my water was hard, since you already have soft water you might like to check out the shower systems that have filters that you change. Good luck on your search, Amazon has a lot to chose from.

Yes, removes chlorine with just the normal black filters! use it all the time to filter my city tap water to make the perfect "berkey" water! The other two supplemental filters are for fluorine and arsenic.

I haven't run any tests but it does make the water softer and the smell of chlorine is lessened greatly.
