Well, deionization CAN be pricey for the average joe. But it really boils down to the amount of flow and capacity you want to pay for. A small system can be very affordable (By affordable, I mean approx $100-150) to the average joe, but you obviously wont be able to push 10 gallons per minute...

Replacement cartridges can be bought which contain mixed-bed ion exchange resin. These would be used in place of a softening cartridge. However, on systems which use small cartridges, like the AG models, the flow rate must be kept low to ensure the water gets enough contact time with the resin...

No, carbon will only eliminate certain contaminants, such as chlorine, hydrocarbon based products, (oils and such), and some types of bacteria(Negatively charged). A 1 micron filter, while very fine, will only eliminate suspended solids, which consist of some organisms, sediment, and other...

When softening water, dissolved calcium ions in the waterare replaced with sodium ions from the softening media. So the water spots you see on the surface is essentially salt. Sodium Chloride (salt)...same as table salt, same as road salt. This is more easily dissolved than calcium deposits...

Softening water will create more foaming action and less water spots, but there is still dissolved sodium in the water, so there is a chance for water spotting. This is a fact. A deionizing system removes all dissolved solids in the water and will not leave any water spots whatsoever. I...
