    Water softners are not for fish tanks, what you need its an ro/di unit. They are different, a water softner does not remove things, just treats for hard water, usually with some kind of salt.

    I was a Local Rep and installer for them for many yrs and its not what you want, Its more of a whole house taste and sediment and hardness system and it is not for the tank go to Buckeye Field supply and get a R/O D.I Russ will get you fixed up at a good price. This all that they sell that will help you but its pricy..

    On the inside every R/O D.I is the exact same thing all use 10" element cartridges .. Ones from anywhere will fit the other ..
