Replacement Cartridge for Hardless NG4L Whole House Water Filter - Designed for Areas with Extra Hard Water, Provides Clean and Filtered Water, Easy Installation - 8-Month Capacity

This saltless water filtration is superior to my salted old water softener. Not only does this water softener soften the hardest water that we have into Crystal clear drinking water. Our house is now fully filtrated and this unit is the best. There was however a broken part, the ball valve on the bottom, they sent one out the same day after I advised them of the issue. That is customer service and I really enjoy the fact that I didn't have to fight to get a part. I have already recommended this to several of my family and friends. Also, if you're handy, you can install this yourself. You just need to know how to sweat pipes, solder them, and know how to use a blowtorch, and the correct piping available to you. I also purchased the 8-month filter. The one that comes with the unit is a 6-month filter. All of the plumbers that I've asked said that these filters last a lot longer than what they're advertised for. The majority said that as soon as we get lower water pressure it's time to change the filter. I don't know if this seller can verify that or not. I know you're supposed to clean the mesh filter as well. I would imagine that would catch most of the lime scale and sediment. To clean The metal mesh, I would imagine we could just submerse it in CLR, and then do a thorough cleaning. Overall awesome experience and they have proves to me that customer service is Paramount to their product.
