We recently moved from CA to TX and I want to replace our new home's tank heaters with tankless (gas). In CA, we had Takagi since the early 2000s, so that's all I know. One plumber recommended Rinnai over Takagi, and another came in with a quote for Navien ... and when I asked how much for...

We did get a test and we definitely need a filtration and softener system. I don't remember the results but North TX is known for hard water and also for poor water.

I have recently moved from CA to TX, and need to install a whole-house water filtration system on our new home. I actually need two, because my parents are moving too and want one in their home. We are in North Texas - Irving to be exact - and my dad got a hold of a company who wants to sell...

THANK YOU!!!!

Checking with the pool guy. I'm 99% sure it's DE.

Also re: the pool robot vacuum - I'm more concerned to find out what it is than how to clean it up. It just seems so odd to me. If it were a little bit or every so often, I don't think I'd be concerned. But I just wonder what the heck I'm swimming in.

I'm pretty sure we have a diatomaceous earth filter, and it is cleaned regularly. Doesn't seem to have an impact after it is cleaned. We do have a pool heater. The water is tested regularly. I was actually wondering the same thing - could there be a film inside the pipes? Good idea about...

We had a pool robot vacuum -- it helped, but didn't solve it. We ran it A LOT and now it's broken so we have to replace it.

I'm at a loss and hoping someone on this forum can help. We have an in-ground pool which gets sediment in it and I can't figure out what it is. My pool guy doesn't have an answer either. It settles on the floor of the pool, is opaque, and kicks up like dust whenever I swim. I call it "fish...

I haven't received a call back in response to my inquiry. I tried calling today and was left on hold for about 10 minutes and then transferred to voicemail. dittohead, if you do home systems and are interested in this project, please post here with your extension at work so I can speak with...

Thanks, dittohead. I submitted a request for info from your company over the weekend - hopefully someone can get back to me quickly because I'm looking to get this project done as soon as possible.

Any thoughts on the EcoWater systems offered through Costco?

I believed the same thing, until I called the company to find out if there was a different filter I could purchase to filter out the chloramine. I was told we need an entirely new unit for the house, which would be $4000, wouldn't provide any water softening, and would again need to be replaced...

I called LifeSource today and they told me we've had their unit for too long and it is doing nothing for us. They said it lasts 10-12 years and we've had it much longer than that. This completely explains all of my skin and hair issues :-/ I sure wish I had started researching this years ago...

Thank you both for your help. As I've been researching this, I have indeed discovered that a possible cause of my issues is a reaction to the chloramine. Apparently the city didn't always use chloramine, but rather just chlorine until about a decade ago -- which roughly coincides with when I...

Sorry about that - it's a municipal system. Here's a link to the report. I tried to attach the document here but it's too big. I will get a hardness test done. I don't know the diameter of the incoming plumbing line, and I don't know how to figure that out. The home was built in 2000, so...

I am a total newbie, so I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge on this issue. I am looking for a water softener (or non-salt solution) for my house. We currently have a LifeSource filter (came with the house, purchased about 20 years ago), and we do change the filter every few years...
