Of course you need a prefilter (particulates) but methinks the above will greatly handicap the practical use of this style of softener. I bet that Fe, H2S, Cl and Cu pollute the media rendering it useless. My well in particular has Fe (I did a water analysis when we bought the place but I know it has Fe), so probably wouldn't be suitable for this technology. I wonder what the prevalence of the above is in wells across the nation?
[Also note that this doesn't "soften" the water technically as the hardness remains the same throughout the process (e.g. amount of mineral in the water) what it does is condition it such that those minerals don't decide to crystallize in pipes and such]
Ultimately, I ended up installing a flek valve system you can easily purchase from Amazon. Install is the same except you'll need a drain.
I can assure you, it's night and day. The other systems (electric charging/ionization, filtering, Culligan system, etc) do not work. You'll still end up with major hard water scale build up. Once I installed the salt system, it's nearly completely gone. The scale build up is like 1/100th of what it was. Yes, you'll have water waste due to the regen cycle and you'll have to put in salt into the brine tank. I advise you to buy the biggest brine tank you can fit. If you get a brine tank that can handle 200lbs of salt or even 400lbs, you can probably get yourself into filling the salt just every 6 months instead of monthly.
If you want to avoid having to have power or to get a super highly efficient system (less water waste) get yourself a kinetico system. It's pricy, but it's a really elegant system.
