How does the Water Dove softener system compare to the salt of potassium based systems?
A. The Water Dove softener is superior in every way. There is no weekly or monthly maintenance, there is no ongoing cost of maintaining the salt or potassium, and there is no hassle involved in changing out salt tanks. Q. What is the maintenance and ongoing costs of the Water Dove? A. This depends on the model that you choose. There is a pre-filter that will need to be changed once a year, these are sold in packs of four (4) for $59.00. The carbon tank needs to be replaced every 5 years at the cost of around $150.00 and the softener will need to be refilled every 5-7 years at the cost of around $300-$400 dollars. The hydro-magnets are guaranteed for life. Once the system is installed you will have no reason to even think about it. We will send you email notices when scheduled maintenance is due. **Some resin based softener companies claim their softener resin will last indefinitely and they do not list a refill cost.
