in process of setting up 2 x 1000ltr ibcs in garage and have been told by many to get a softener b4 it enters PREFILTERS.

can anyone enlighten an idiot as to why i should and the benefits of installing one?
would a domestic setup softener be suffice?

i really have no idea when it comes to this bit , so any advice appreciated

softener (get a di vessel and fill it with softner resin (not DI resin) then get a salt chamber (same as prefilters ask pure freedom they sell them, they sell the whole kit.

Softner does as it says and protects the membrane to a agree as it is already doing work on the water, the resin can be regenerated thats where the salt part comes in, granulated salt (you can get if from b&q) you fill the chamber with salt, disconnect from ro and slowly flush it through into the resin for about 20 min or till the salt if all gone into the resin (do not do it quick as it will do nothing) dont flush it through the ro either.

It is used for very hard water areas

it lowers the tds out of the membrane,

it is hard, but I would'nt use a softner, do you have a booster pump ? if not get one of them instead

I would not bother, Just more things to buy. Have you been using one up til now with any problems, my guess is no, so why complicate things.
