Everything they (PureLifeWater) said about the water is true. The soap savings with the soft water is real. I happen to have had my carpet cleaned by a different company that used soft water to clean my carpets, and I have never had my carpet cleaned so well, and it was just great. So when the Pure Life Rep came to do the demo and he explained their filter and how the system softened the water, I knew already that it was for real. It feels great. My daughters bring bottles to my house when they visit and fill them wth water from my system. It’s great. I taste the difference. I can feel it.
