OTG4-VM-DBLSOFT Portable Compact Double Standard 16,000 Grain Water Softener with Drinking Water Safe Brass Fittings (NOT made in China, assembled by U.S. Workers in Indiana

Works great, just as described.

Soft water is wonderful. It's just heavy

I cannot say enough good things about this. I don't have a water softener at my home but after buying a new RV I wanted to insure we had good water quality when traveling to different parks. Let me tell you. The difference is night and day. Before setting this up I thought the water where we were staying was good until I hooked this up. I would never not have one on my RV after using this one. The set up was a breeze and came with all the appropriate fittings and O rings. The provided tester was spot on when comparing it to other testers

This is replacement for a 5 year old OTG. Had great service from the first one, hope this one lasts just as long!

No idea how to recharge the unit.

Update: Well after 3 months with this, its getting to be too much to regenerate. Now it only lasts a day after regen. I don't blame the softener, it wasn't meant for this level of hard water. I still recommend as it does work, but again, for water that's not quite so hard.Original post: I live in a double wide trailer with, according to the maps showing hard water levels, the some of the hardest water in the states sitting around 39 gpg. I was dubious about living in a larger space than what this softener was meant for, but since it's only my dog and I, I went ahead and bought it. This little guy is surprising! I do have to regenerate it often because the water is just so impossibly hard here, but let me note I am not stingy with water, I clean a lot and like decently long showers :) I also have to buy bottled water to drink, this water is still not consumable. The softener is a bit heavy to turn on it's head to drain and lug around, but to get decently soft water, I really can't complain! I say decently soft because after regenerating it I seem to only be able to get it down to about 3 gpg, and that lasts for maybe a week. It's not ideal, but it's better than 39 gpg!

Water softener works well for our RV. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

We have been very pleased with the results we've had with this water softener. It is easy to regenerate. We check the water quality about every 2 weeks to see how hard the water has become since the last regeneration. Once the hardness level is starting to spike up we follow the instructions to regenerate the water and we are back to soft water in no time.
