5thwheelforums is currently testing this product (http://www.portablewatersoftener.com/) in our new ToyHauler. Our initial impressions of the product are great and we are about to embark on a 2 month trip through out the West so check back later for a more detailed review.
We were turned onto this product at the request of several readers for a review. Knowing the water hardness here in Wyoming was very high and contributed to issues such as scale build up in our water heater and plumbing system, short Anode rod life and shower/sink stains we called the manufacturer and had a unit delivered.
Initial test samples of our water showed our supply to register "hard" or 180 PPM. After attaching the On the Go Portable Water Softener to the end of our fill hose we topped off our fresh tank. Once full we purged all the water lines in our RV by allowing water to run for several minutes and re-sampled. This time the reading was exactly 0. Our trip will have us in our RV full time for 60 days so we should have a very good idea of how the unit is performing and what real-world results are.
Check back soon!
