Overview
An RV park spigot or a marine dock is the setting for this On The Go portable softener, which connects between a garden hose faucet and the vehicle. A carry handle and a large mouth for adding salt are part of the compact design.
Hookup needs no tools or electricity, the handle eases carrying, and the wide opening simplifies adding salt. The limitation is output, since the flow rate is capped and the unit softens for a limited stretch before it needs regeneration.
Who it's for
RV and marine owners who want to avoid scale and rust stains on the road get a softener that stores in a bay or dock locker. Homeowners who need softened water throughout a house should choose a plumbed-in system.
Pros and cons
- Portable with carry handle
- Wide mouth for salt
- No electricity needed
- Compact for storage bays
- Flow rate is capped
- Soft water lasts limited days
- Warranty text mostly covers returns
Performance notes
Ion exchange removes hardness minerals from the incoming water, and regeneration with salt restores the resin for the next stretch. Flow tops out at the stated rate, and the description says the unit gives soft water until the resin is used up.
