I'm looking for a non-salt/KCL water softener and filtration system for my
home. We are running off a well.

We had a salt based water softener before and we never liked the slimy
feeling it left when you take a shower.

I was looking at the Life Source and the EWS water filtration/conditioner
units. Has anyone used these or another type of non-salt/KCL water
softener?? Opinions?

We do not need much throughput as we are going to store the
softened/filtered water in a 5000 gallon tank before it is sent to the
house.

Thanks,
Scott<-

Doesn't all soft water regardless of how it's softened feel that way?

The non-salt Softener's claim they do not, here are a few links

Then you have to deal with the Icemaker, the Pet's water, etc that would all
be on the Softener. You don't really want to be drinking the Salt water.

I'm filtering the water as its going into a 5000 gallon storage tank. Then
distributing it to a few homes form there.

Thanks,

You're not drinking "salt water" anyway, even with a conventional salt-based
ion exchange water softener.

Though isn't it true you don't really want to be drinking the water that has
been salt softened?
