Recent PostsHello, We have had a chlorine pool for about 15 years. We now have kids (5 years old) and we use the pool a lot more. I was interested in the salt as a substitute for chlorine but clearly there are other alternatives. I am seriously looking into ch...
We have been using Ecosmarte in a new, in-ground 23,000 gallon pool for about six months. Overall, we're very happy with the system. My question involves "pH bounce". In order to keep the pH in the 6.8-7.2 range, I've had to add 1 gallon of murat...

Berkey FiltersWe have been having problems at our house as well. We live on a well system. The problem with water softeners, is that they have a purging system that uses a lot of water. This doesn't work for us, because we are on a holding tank for our sewage. Everything that goes in, must get pumped and shipped out! Thanks for the tips by previous writers on other alternatives!- Nate

ksoosusI live in a HARD WATER area and i was killing myself. Every month, like clockwork, I was on my knees cleaning and scrubbing Hard water stains. I hated it, so I started researching hard water and found out that the scaling and deposits was costing me a FORTUNE!!! My appliances were losing half of their life span due to corrosion and deposit. NOT only that. I found out that my water heater was scaling and my heating bill was 30% HIGHER than it should be. YES, SCALING ACTUALLY MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR YOUR WATER HEATER TO WORK.... Well i was so pissed, I decided to by a water softener. Most W/S on the market are expensive and require monthly maintenance costs and filters and or SALT. This can cost up to $800 a month, and the salt is HORRIBLE for the environment... WTF??? Then i found a small company here in the U.S.A. that sells a new product that STOPS scale from forming and breaks up OLD ones, and it does all this for a ONE time cost. NO FILTERS< NO SALT. This means its environmentally SAFE. I emailed them and they were awesome!! Sent me info right away. try em out, at least for info.
