Overview
Hooking a standard hose to this compact tank softens water for an RV without electricity or tools. Ion exchange resin does the work, a carry handle and large-mouth opening ease recharging, and the inlet swivels so the hose connects without strain.
Fast recharging with common table salt and a light, storable shape are the reasons to carry it. The limitation is capacity: the gallons per charge run from low to high depending on hardness, and the spec sheet and description give different dimensions.
Who it's for
RVers who park in hard-water areas and want something to stow in a storage bay can regenerate it with salt between trips. A family home with high daily use needs a larger fixed softener.
Pros and cons
- No electricity needed
- Regenerates with common table salt
- Carry handle and swiveling inlet
- Test strips and back-flush adapter included
- Gallons per charge vary with hardness
- Spec sheet and description dimensions differ
- Manual regeneration needed
Performance notes
Ion exchange resin captures hardness minerals, so how many gallons it treats depends on the water hardness and the grain rating. The high-flow shut-off valve allows a slow rinse, and backflushing with the adapter handles reverse connection. Recharging with a box of salt is quick.
