Carefree?
Vibrations, energy fields, and vortexes are stock-in-trade in the snake-oil business, owing probably to the fact that in the ill-defined contexts in which they typically appear, they are basically meaningless but convey enough mystery to appeal to the credulous public. I won't waste much time on this one, because none of that nonsense makes any sense.

Green Water
By the way, you have spent almost $6,500.00 on your rental equipment which you indicate is less than satisfactory. Renting equipment is a great deal... for the water treatment dealer, but bad for the consumer!

Which Doctor?
It is not my intent to speak badly of nextScaleStop, but you asked the question and I have answered it. In fact, I have heard that nextScaleStop is no longer using the media that they used after switching from the DVGW-512 media. Yet, in their Watts One-Flow literature, they continue to refer to the DVGW-512, which is no longer applicable and more than a tad misleading.

Pelican NatureSoft
So, right out of the chute, Pelican is giving you erroneous information, which begs the question "If what they say in the beginning is not true, what part do you believe?"

Will a Saltless Water Softener Work?
Unless you have low pH, a water softener (using salt) will not shorten the life span of the water heater, copper and brass plumbing potable water system and some appliances. Absolutely not! In fact, it will dramatically increase the life of these things. There is no credible evidence to suggest that a water softener shortens the life of these appliances.

Iron, Sulfur, Manganese and Arsenic
If you treat your water right, you should have no problems. Assuming your pH is close to 7, I would recommend a hydrogen peroxide system. It will oxidize the iron, manganese and sulfur all in one shot and most likely bind the arsenic to the iron in the process and remove (or greatly reduce) it as well. Then a simple water softener and reverse osmosis system should give you exceptionally good water.

Will a Saltless System Work For Me?
Putting a water softener only on the hot water is kind of like putting one foot in ice water and the other in boiling water - on the average you won't like the experience!

Major Water Snob Wants Good Water
It not only softens the water for the whole house, but also reduces or removes the chlorine and other chemicals. I suspect that you drink RO water because you don't want the chlorine and chemicals in your drinking water, but did you know that you absorb more chemicals and chlorine through your skin and through inhalation (vaporization) in a 20 minute shower than you could ever drink?

Pelican vs. GreenWave and DVGW-512
Well, the fact that we (US Water) sell the GreenWave and not Pelican should say enough about it. I also believe that DVGW-512 is of no value.

How to Get Rid Of Rotten-Egg Odor
Deanna asks: I would like to know what causes water to smell like rotten eggs. My neighbor down two doors from me is having this problem. The only source of water to their house comes from a well. I notice this every time I turn their outside faucet on to water her garden and or [...]
