Review on πŸ’§ Pentek WS 10 Softener Cartridge 155319 43: Maximum Water Conditioning Solutions by Adam Jackson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It works well! If you want to "charge " the resin with salt water, you first have to do a trick.

This softens our FL hard water very well. However, note the small capacity (750 grains). Get a water test kit to see how useful it will be for you. For example, the water quality kit showed that our water contained about 20 grains per gallon. 750/20 = 37.5 gallons of softened water until the resin is used up. However, you can charge it with salt water, which greatly increases its lifespan. DO NOT throw the cartridge in salt water like I did in the beginning. it will not charge (or it will be very, very slow). You must first clean the water that is already in the filter and then ideally fill that filter with salt water. I used a water bottle, filled it with salt water and gently squeezed it out through the top of the filter. You really need to get it to seal on top of the filter. He purified the fresh water and replaced it with salt water, which allowed the resin to recharge. A day later it works like new.
