“Couple of things here, first the unit is not a 10,000 grain softener its only charged with 6,000 grains of resin. Next, if not constantly in use a funky black smelly residue forms in the tank. If coming out of storage and Prior to use, flush the tank until water runs clear, better yet dump the resin beads clean the tank with a bleach solution and replace the resin beads. Also since you need to top off the resin make sure the threads on the plastic insert are clean. If not, you will cross thread the incredibly difficult to tighten distribution head. The bottom of the tank is rolled over SS, the edge of the stainless is razor sharp be very carful when handling!”

“Stay away it's junk. We have had two caps leak because of fractures in the plastic. From my research you are not suppose to use metal male threads into female plastic threads because it causes fractures and leaks. Now Blu wants us to buy a 3rd cap instead of sending a replacement for the 2nd cap that leaked. We have only used the softener on 4 trips. They don't stand behind their products and their products cost way more than others. Here is a picture of the hairline crack just above the IN text on the cap. Their filters are fine but stay away from the water softener. You would think they would stand behind their product if it failed 2 times already.”

“Clean, great tasting and soft water with no leaks with pressure set at 50 psi. Super easy setup and break down. No fuss, no muss. Paired with the 3-stage water filtration system.”

“UPDATE: After having the system installed for just 2 months, we have noticed that the taste and smell has turned. We are currently working with Blu Tech to correct the issues that we are seeing and the company has been proactive in making sure that we are getting the best out of their product. This review will be updated as we progress, but I will say that they appear to be willing to work through the challenges we have experienced. Aside from certain issues, the products are well made and the company is absolutely interested in making things right. ORIGINAL: We RV full time and come across some pretty hard water in RV parks. We bought the whole filtration/water softener system. It barely helps. We recharged it the other day after using for a month in hopes it would help. We still have water spots. It's a little bit better but not much!”

“I had my concerns that we would lose water pressure, but we cannot tell the different in pressures. Plenty of pressure and water flow. I tested the water with test strips before and after. Yep, the water tested hard, and after connecting the softener tank, our water was soft and the soap loved it due to all the suds it created. We have to two Florida campgrounds, and both worked great. I like the lite weight of the tank. I have used the heavier softeners and the light weight and quick disconnects make it a dream come true. As you can see in the pictures, I also purchased the Blu three stage filter, and placed it in a cooler since it will be set up outdoors. I highly recommend this softener if you are wanting to protect your RV investment. When I purchased this Rv water softener, it was identified as a 16,000 grain on Amazon. It still has the label on it as a 16,000 grain. It does not soften Arizona hard water. Whenever I contacted Blu, they said sorry, how about we send you a box of resin. I needed a 16,000 grain, and paid for a 16,000 grain.”

“We tried 2 different ones and neither one worked for us. Customer service was very helpful. They told me that I needed a bigger one due to the hardness of our water.”

“This is one of the best constructed products I have used in quite a while. Rigid stainless tank and quality stainless steel quick connect fittings. VERY easy to install, back flush and regenerate. Even though it is a portable unit I have hard plumbed it in. No intention to take it out because we love the quality water it provides. We travel in our 44' RV from Alaska to Texas and back every year. We also travel all around the Southwest in the winter. On our journeys we have struggled with quality water. We do not like staying in RV parks and usually find ourselves out in the wild somewhere boon docking. We run a 3 filter bank and this softener on our water system and it makes a huge difference! Even when we fill our tank and use the water you can smell and taste that it is pure. One of the major benefits we have found is that this softener removes the rust flavor and smell that filters sometimes miss. Not to mention the appliances that it keeps from mineralization. This company has a filter system that I would like to try as mine, being homemade, is rather bulky. If it works as well as the softener it would be a great addition.”
