    matagal ko ng gustong magkabit ng water softener system dahil masyadong hard water ang supply dito sa amin galing sa lokal na water district. hassle sa pag maintain due to scaling is too much sa mga fixtures at clogging sa mga shower heads namin.

    sino po dito ang meron ganito sa kanilang bahay? please recommend a good brand. my budget is around 50k only. pwede ko ng i-DIY ito.

    Almost 10 yrs na akong naka filter with softner sa bahay, sinabay ko during our house renovation.

    During that time almost 100K nagastos ko. But I believe doable na ang 50K now.

    Kung naka nawasa ka, you need to have a cistern tank and a pressure tank system, specially if more than 1 storey ang bahay mo para mataas pa ang water pressure after the series of filters.

    And then you can install another compact water purification system under your kitchen sink para sa drinking water nyo, para hindi ka na bibili ng tubig pang inom.

    In the almost 10yrs that I had the filtration system, never pa nasira. Basta naka set ng tama yung cleaning ng filters. Also, every 2-3 yrs palit din mga filter materials and resins for the softener.

    thanks bro, kasama na sa schematic drawing ko yung pressurized system dahil given na not all the time na malakas ang water supply pressure dito sa amin.
    maglalagay din ako ng pre-filter bago itong water softener system para less ang maintenance.

    ano ba yung brand na gamit mo? mukhang very durable sya na water softener system.

    Forgot the brand. Korean made sya, sounds like Pentek or Pentex

    from 20 to 100 psi is the normal operating pressure range available in the market.
    di pwede talaga na walang pressurized water pump/tank na ikakabit.
    kailangan din na discreet lang ang pagka install nito sa incoming water supply from nawasa para di magwala mga kapitbahay.

    Store water below or above ground, then pump from there, sir. It's a sin to pump direct from the main. Efficient softeners will need pressure.

    we have an ordinary tangke that is filled up by the nawasa source that's always open. no bomba. a float valve closes the nawasa when the tank is full.
    a bomba is connected to this tangke, which pumps the water into a pressure tank, to enable the water to go up our house. the bomba is activated and deactivated by pressure-sensitive switches that came with the bomba.
    it takes several cycles of the bomba to drain the nawasa tangke.
    even if nawasa is interrupted for hours at a time, we don't run out of water in the house.

    Thanks for reminding bro! Problem now, tank is at the back and supply line to the house is imbedded.
    Now I need to make two runs of piping (supply to tank + softener's outlet supply to the front main line). Can't install the storage tank in front due to space constraint.

    If your home supply line were looped, you can locate your softener just about anywhere. You'll get better pressure distribution, too.

    WaterBoss. Still American-made to this day. Compact w/ built-in self cleaning filter & uber efficient w/ way lower backwash salt consumption & waste water. Good local presence & parts support.

    Easy DIY, really. You'll need a drain close for the hose to feed the backwash waste. Do a softener bypass to have the option of direct feed in the cases when it may need servicing.

    *travs ... can you recommend a water filter / softener that can be installed outdoors from the mains just before going into the house ... one that doesn't need electricity ...
