Res Care Easy Feeder Starter Kit – Complete Softener Cleaning System - Dispenses Res Care Liquid Water Softener Cleaner – Feeds Continuously - Restores Resin Capacity

Bought this on the recommendation of my water softener installer as the better alternative to using the other iron-out solutions which actually only work properly if dissolved and poured into the brine tube at the time of regeneration and as the kids say, "ain't nobody got time for that". Drill the few holes (I drilled holes in salt tank much smaller than the 1/4" size specified in the instructions), install the bracket (works like a peg-board hook), attach the wick tube, and you're done. System delivers the solution automatically via the drip tube into the brine tube so that it's available when the system regenerates in the middle of the night. You can buy refill solution in gallon bottles and keep it next to the brine tank. Whenever you check your salt level, you can peak at the supply bottle and, when needed, refill it from the gallon jug. The drip rate for the kit I purchased is one ounce per day so it should go 2 months before the feed bottle is empty.

This stuff is a money saver! My well water has sulfur and is hard. The water softener is 16 years old. Over the past few years, I have noticed rust stains on some surfaces. I had the water tested and it now contains iron also. Both companies that tested the water, wanted to sell me an iron remover unit to the tune of $1700! I stumbled upon this product while searching Google. I ordered a bottle. What did I have to lose? I ran my 16 year old water softener through 2 cycles back to back two consecutive days. I cleaned all the rust stains in the toilet, sinks, shower and washing machine. It's been months since I've started using this and no rust stains! I am sold and will continue using this forever. Thank you Pro Products for this incredible product.

Easy intall. Seamless operation so far. Water seems consistently smoother, softer. Will do a follow up later but so far so good.

Like several others in the review, the lid came broken. I'm sure it would have been ok, I can't see any hazards. I wrote the company just to let them know - seems like they have a lot of the same problem. They went above and beyond and sent a whole new order. Totally not necessary, but they wanted -- and made -- a lifelong customer. Certainly happy with this. And it's doing wonders for our salt softener system.

This is the best. Since using this, My water is so much softer and the automatic drip system is awesome. I recommend this product to every one that owns a water softner. I just wished I would have bought the 1/2 ounce drip system. I don't get why customers are having problems with this. Its such an easy system to install and it really works on older water softners, you might not notice any change in a brand new system as your resin bed is already clean. Thanks for a great product!!!!

Easy install, kind of expensive, time will tell if it makes a difference. If I notice my softener working better I will update my review, but for now - 3 stars for easy installation and high cost.

Seems to be helping my softener allow water through better

This kit has everything you need. It is easy to install and works just the way the directions say it is supposed to. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I have no idea if it really doing anything. Honestly I can't really tell any difference in the water quality. But it makes me feel good to think I am providing proper maintenance and extending the life of my water softener.

Good product sure helps

I put in a few ounces of ResCare in my softener brine tank when I first received my Easy Feeder kit. A few days later, after the first softener recharge and allowing for most of the untreated water in the hot water tank to be used up, I could tell the difference in the softness of our water. Our municipal water hardness level is reported to be between 18 to 24 grains per gallon. When the softener was serviced recently, the technician set the iron level at 0.5 gpg and the hardness set for 27 gpg. After a few weeks of experimenting with ResCare, I determined I only needed to use about 3 or 4 ounces per week to keep the water soft. I wasn't able to buy the 0.5 ounce per day feeder kit locally or on Amazon, so I contacted Pro Products and they shipped me a replacement wick kit and I had it within days. Follow the directions on the Pro Products website about saturating the Easy Feeder wick and you shouldn't have any problems. Great service.

Does the job!

So easy to install and set up in less then 10 min and a great money saver in the long run

I set it up like it said and had it in for 5 months now and I can’t get it to work. Not worth the money so don’t buy
