Do I Need a Filter or a Water Softener?
A SpringPure MAX Catalytic Filter is always needed.
If you have city water, you need the SpringPure MAX Catalytic Filter because city water has chlorine which degrades to various carcinogens due to the presence of organics in the water.
When one showers in water containing carcinogens from Chlorine degradation, the mist containing carcinogens will be breathed into the lungs, and in 3 seconds those toxins go right into the bloodstream. There are no bodily firewalls in your lungs like exist when drinking water with contaminants.
If you have well water, you need a SpringPure MAX Catalytic Filter because most well water has insolubles that need to be removed, and often has heavy metals such as iron, manganese, or mal odors from sulfur which need to be oxidized and removed through our unique proprietary SpringPure MAX Catalytic Filter System.
A Water Softener add-on is needed if you have either Hard water or slightly Hard water combined with Manganese. Many customers also desire a softener if they have sensitive dry skin conditions or hair coloring issues.

What Does a Softener Do?
Is a “Salt Softener” Unhealthy?
Would a Non-Salt Softener Be a Better Option?
Rarely. There is no such thing as a “Non-Salt Softener.” The proper name would be a Hardness Conditioner, as it does not remove hardness, it just “conditions” it, so that the hardness salts are less conducive to form scale.
A true Softener (using salt) actually removes the hardness, and provides greater benefit to the user. Also, a Hardness Conditioner requires replacement media regularly (and it is very expensive), something most companies don’t tell you.
The most common situation where we would recommend a “Hardness Conditioner,” is when an older customer may have the softener installed in a crawl space and it would be difficult and unwise for the customer to attempt to add salt to the brine tank (usually required 2-3 times per year).
