Water Softeners: Will an RO System soften water?Updated 2 months ago
Water is softened through the Reverse Osmosis process. However, hard water (above 7 grains of hardness) will shorten the life of the RO Membrane. The harder the water, the shorter the life of the Membrane. We recommend using a water softener if your area has hard water. The softener should take effect before the water enters the RO System.
