C-Wayne: I have used this cleaner for a long time in my softener & have experienced low salt useage with peak softener performance. This product has saved me a lot of expense with salt purchases.

Martoon: This product did not work on my water softener. I followed the manufacturers instructions and used the whole bottle. Did not make any difference to my softener. Maybe it might for you but it did nothing for me.

Derrick ZuluetaDerrick Zulueta: I'm glad that I found about this product. It also works on calcium and mineral build up on kitchen and bathroom faucet. I'm on the verge on replacing my faucets because soaking it on vinegar and baking soda overnight does nothing.

Update 8/3/2020: So it turns out my Culligan Medalist water softener is not working. No wonder the salt level in the brine tank has not gone down for 2 years of owning the house. The culligan water softener was bought in 2003 (as per the docs that came with the house). The previous owner of the house is probably not aware that the softener is not working so it must have been in that condition for so many years. I could only imagine how much sediments build up are in the resin bed.

A week ago, I decided to tackle the issue after searching the forums for solution. There are 2 issues on my water softener, (1) there is 12+ inch salt bridge that formed in the top of the brine tank which is a PIA to remove. If you have a water softener, please do not fill the brine tank with salt to the brim. The crystal salt are notoriously bad in causing a salt bridge. (2) My water softener is not drawing brine solution during slow rinse cycle. I went to my...

Alexei: Seems to work pretty well. Instructions on the bottle are clear and the bottle itself closes securely. It's also much cheaper in this format here on Amazon than my local big box home reno store. In fact, this 1 gal (3.78L) bottle is 3 times (!!!) cheaper than the equivalent amount of 16oz (470ml) bottles my local store sells.

I added this directly to my brine tank and ran a few regeneration cycles at first (as per instructions) and then filled my automatic resin cleaner dispenser for regular operation.

Duckey Wuckey: I used this product in two 64,000 gr resin beds over 5 years old in a house with greater than 5 occupants using the water from our well and water softener. I did each twice. The amount of iron etc. that came out in the rinse was significantly better than with Iron outt and salt alone.

I believe the resin bed was cleansed from some impurities that I could not significantly remove during a normal ion exchange cleansing with salt and Iron outt.

I have now returned to only using salt and the resin works much better than before the use of this product.

I will use this again if I notice the resin bed needing an early regeneration or probably at yearly intervals.

There was a taste of the phosphoric acid in the drinking water until the resin had been cleansed with salt only using two additional regeneration cycles. You may want to increase your rinse time on your unit to speed the process.

Update: 9.17.15:
I was only using salt with the salt purchased in 50 lb bags with the iron reduction addition. After 2 years, the efficiency of the resin bed was decreasing and occasionally I would have to early regenerate a cycle due to the complaint of a smell or...
