On the Go water softner
We live full time on our coach and recently we have encountered very hard water in
several campgrounds, it was beginning to affect our appliances, coffee tasted awful,
while washing and shaving, needed much more soap than usual, hair washing was not good,We bought the On the Go softner and after two days of operation it was a difference of night and day. Showers and hair washing are a treat, the appliances have cleaned up, coffee and tea are great.Now after two weeks we are sorry we did not have this unit from the get go. Highly recommended, easy to maintain, .would not do without it ..

On The Go Softener
This item works great! We had a few bugs to work out, but the people who own the company were most helpful in giving us correct info and instructions on how to properly regenerate the unit. We have had nice soft water in the Texas Hill Country where the water is extremely hard. The unit is very easy to install and is very compact for storage. We would highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking to protect their RV's water system, coffee pots, faucets, etc. Also your skin will feel really soft and hair will be squeaky clean!

Portable water softener is worth the $$
We have a class A motorhome and tanker around softened water meaning we leave with full tank EVERY time out.
We always hated running out on our longer trips and "finally" invested in this portable softener for our longer trips.
We now have soft water on the go and we are very happy!
We chose the smaller unit just for size and weight reasons. It works perfectly, does not appear to restrict water flow and came with everything we needed to hook up and use it.
Long overdue appliance for our coach.

Great product
I have been using my softener for a little over four years now and it has been great. The only reason I didn't rate it 5 Stars is that I have found it difficult to get a full box (24 oz.?) of salt into it to backflush. You have to use use something like a slinder knife to keep pushing it down. The rope handle has broken and I can't see that it can be replaced. Other than these minor problems, it is a great product.

Excellent softner
While in Arizona for the winter, we found our water supply to be extremely hard. Went to the internet and ordered this water softner from Campiing World. Camping World delivered this item in less than 4 days which amazed me in itself and the water softner works great. I haven't regenerated it as of yet but the instructions seem very straight forward and easy. I highly recommend this water softner.

Portable Water Softner #34619
It was a welcome addition to our travel trailer. It definitely makes the water softer and taste better. Reduces water scum in shower. I gave it 4 stars because the water flow meter did not work because the
water flow rate through the softener is not high enough to turn the internal mechanism. On our last trip we used it for 4 weeks without regenerating and it was still working good (2 people).

We love this water softner, skin is softer, soaps lather great , have had no trouble out of it and we have some really bad hard water. regenerating is a snap. So easy to operate. I cant say enough good things about this softner we are glad to have bought it FYI: when adding salt to the softner pour small amounts of water while pouring in the salt. works great and only takes seconds to regenerate.

Soft water for our retirement trip
I purchased this unit so we would have soft water in our 38' 5th wheel for our big 'retirement' holiday. I reworked the water system in our unit to install a Watts regulator, that feeds a sediment filter, which feeds this softener, which feeds an UV purifier, which then feeds the water system of the trailer. I plumbed the system so I could route park water through the filter and softener and then out to the park sewer for recharging the softener easily. We were on the road touring for about 10 weeks through parks that had good soft water and extra hard water. We found this unit works consistently well and was easy to recharge and flush with ordinary table salt. In parks where the water was moderately hard we found we could go between one and two weeks between recharges. Heavy water users may want to go to the double sized model. Overall, the unit quality is good, and I would not hesitate to purchase the product again.

I lost some of my resin. How do I replace it? Is is a universal resin for water softeners?
Refill kits can be purchased directly from the manufacturer: https://www.portablewatersoftener.com/shop/Refill-Kits

When reading about competitor brands/websites, most state the quality of the resin supplied. What is the type used in On The Go versus Mark or Flo-Pur?
On The Go and Flow Pur both use premium grade resin in their water softener systems.

The unit will be horizontal when traveling. Should the water be drained each time we change locations?
Yes, the unit should be drained before travel.
You can use either of these two options if draining water from the unit is required. For both options DO NOT REMOVE top cap or head.
Option 1: Use air source applied to inlet and allow water to drain from outlet.
Option 2: Turn unit upside down WITH THE HEAD AND CAP ON, and allow water to drain from inlet/outlet
Use the steps below when placing the unit in storage(for the season) or will be idle for extended periods:
Step 1: Perform a back-flush
Step 2: Perform the regeneration process
Step 3: Drain water from unit (do not dump the resin out)
Step 4: Unit is ready for storage

Are there inhibitor additives that can be used for really rusty water?
We'll be at an RV park in Minnesota this summer that is very nice, except everyone complains about the rusty water. Back when we had a house, we had rusty water and had to either use the salt made for that situation, or I remember that Culligan sold a chemical you could dump in with the salt. Does the company who makes this unit have any suggestions on this, or do they sell something we could add to the salt?
You can use products like <a href=http://www.superironout.com/powders.php>Iron Out</a> or <a href=http://www.proproducts.com/ourbrands/ProChemicals/RustOut.aspx>Rust Out</a> to assist in regeneration of the softener and keep it in good condition. Morton also makes water softening pellet formulated as <a href=http://www.mortonsalt.com/home-product/morton-rust-remover-pellets/>Rust Remover</a>.

If you use it to wash your car will it leave spots?
If your region suffers from hard water, yes a softener will be helpful in reducing water spots as well as increasing the lathering ability of the soap used. For areas that do not have significant hard water, little improvement if any at all will be noticed.
