Dear Stain-Less Water Filters,

     Last week my neighbor here at Grand Bahama Yacht Club in Freeport, brought with him from the states one of your water filters. He seemed to be real happy with the way his wife was able to clean their boat. When he left last weekend for his home in Florida, he asked if we would like to use it while he was gone. I was a bit skeptical because after all water is only water right???? Wrong!!!!!!!! My shaves were closer!! My wife said her hair was never so soft and the boat…… well it was never easier to clean. The polycarbonate windows and the EZ2CY windows came out without water spots! Incredible for the little work I put into them. Needless to say I got sucked in!!!! My order was placed today with you and I am one happy camper with your product.

Dear Stainless Water Filters,

Just a quick note to tell you that I have been letting people use my softener at our boat club and so far 4 people have ordered units from you and possibly a 5th. Great Product!

Dear Stain-Less,

I'm sending this E-mail to purchase another filter, 3" shorter so the crew can store it in a particuliar compartment.

My crew and I slaved for years washing one section at a time and then shammying behind before the sun could dry water spots on the surface. The filter has saved the crew and I countless hours maintaining our "spotless" finish. I just wanted to say thanks for your simple solution.

Regards,
Captain Rob Protacki

     Water is the world's eminent solvent, dissolving a little of everything it contacts.  Whether passing through the atmosphere, percolating into groundwater supplies or traveling through copper pipes, water will partially take on the attributes of every environment it encounters.
     Hardness minerals in water supplies--those minerals that historically made cleaning "hard" or more difficult--are a common and exasperating result of water's solvent action.  Although more efficient than in the past, old-fashioned water softening is still the preferred method for mitigating water hardness problems.  Let's explore some of the benefits attained from removing hardness minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium, as well as one common objection to the softening process.

Hard vs. Soft Water
     Soft water is well known for being nearly residue free, only occasionally leaving an easy -to-remove film.  Often, this soft water film or spotting is the result of using too much soap or an inadequate rinse period.
     Hard water spots such as those you may find building up on your vehicle's windows from habitually parking near sprinklers are difficult to remove, usually requiring additional chemicals and extreme effort just to partially remove.  Because soft water is not normally used for irrigation, this is an excellent example of the severity of real-world hard water spotting.  Soft water eliminates or significantly reduces spotting while greatly enhancing the appearance of surfaces with considerably less effort and chemical use.
     When operating with soft water, faucets, water heaters and other water-using appliances, such as washing machines and icemakers can last up to 30% longer.  Independent quantifiable studies consistently reach similar conclusions about the extended longevity of appliances operated with soft water.
     Some studies suggest that cleaning time and effort can be reduced by up to 50% when using soft water.  Additional quantities of costly cleaning agents and chemicals are required to do the job as compared to using softened water.  These supplementary products increase the contaminant load on the environment.  Softened water will subdue soap curd while providing many other important advantages.
     Using soft water for laundering has multiple proven benefits for both residential and commercial applications.  Decreased detergent and chemical requirements will, of course, save money, and again, lighten the burden on the increasingly sensitive environment.  Soft water however, also keeps whites whiter, slows the fading of colors and increases fabric life.

Salt
     Salt in the human diet is essential to good health. When discussing water softener salt, we in the water conditioning industry like to refer to it as "sodium chloride" to avoid actually using the dreaded four-letter word-salt.  The fact is that softeners need salt, or a similar alternative, to regenerate on a regular basis.  The highly soluble sodium ions overwhelm and take the place of the undesirable hardness minerals on the resin beads.
     The amount of sodium imparted to softened water varies based on the influent hardness, with higher original hardness levels resulting in more sodium in the softened product water.  In most cases, the level of sodium added to the human diet as a result of softening is innocuous.  Those on sodium-restricted diets should take all sources of sodium into account and may need to avoid drinking softened and even hard water that contains varying levels of natural salt.  Most of our dietary sodium is obtained through food, not drinking water.
     If added sodium is still a concern, you can bypass the drinking water line, or even better, install a point-of-use RO drinking system to remove nearly all of the sodium and other minerals.  The water Quality Association has excellent information on the subject of dietary sodium intake from many common sources, including softened water.  Salt should not be considered anathema, but rather, you should realize the vital role sodium plays in our daily lives.
     Soft water use serves a lot of money and timesaving purposes.  Lower energy costs, extended appliance life, reduced physical cleaning effort, smaller quantities of cleaners/chemicals, improved fabric appearance/durability, reduced water spots/film are just some of the benefits attained from using softened water.  These practical advantages are all beneficial, but the reason so many consumers love soft water lies elsewhere.
     When it comes to soft water, the overwhelming "cry" from consumers is undeniable.  Aesthetically, they love soft water, and many consider it an emergency when their systems cease to operate.
     The primary reason why consumers love soft water has to do with the way it enhances personal hygiene, leaving skin and hair feeling healthy and clean.  Some describe bathing in soft water as leaving their skin feeling slippery. The luxurious feel of soft water on our skin has to do with the natural body oils not being restricted or blocked by hard water residue.
     Using soft water is a choice, not a necessity, but the numerous benefits of soft water will speak for themselves.

The Stainless filter was tested and featured in Motor Boating Magazine in April, 2003:

Dear Stainless Water Filters,

I recently purchased your water filter for my yacht. I am very impressed with the results. After hook-up to our on board water supply, I immediately noticed the difference when showering. I could feel the softness of the water, which was a pleasant surprise. I put it to the test the next day after an offshore fishing trip. I was very happy with the results after washing the boat. I was so impressed with the boat, I now use it for my car as well.

I’ve been telling all my friends about your filter. Thanks Stainless.

Sincerely,
Don Neuroth
