Yuma Hard Water

[dons2346]

For those that winter in Yuma, what is your setup to deal with the hard water?



I know a lot of people buy 5 gallon jugs of filtered water but I don't want to deal with that to fil up a 100 gallon tank

We bought an ON THE Go water softener. You can get the small portable one or what we bought was the park model size. I also think you can rent water softeners locally.

Couple of those 'water kiosks' have hose to use to fill up fresh water tank
That is what we did....plus couple 3 gallon water bottles
That was enough for the week we were there.

We have an On-The-Go water softener but YUMA water is SO Hard to be effective I had to regen every 3 days.

OP is going to be in Yuma all winter. I don't think one tank of water will last that long.

OP, there are several water softener services in Yuma, see if one will rent a unit for that time. I also have an On The Go, and it is not the way to go for AZ hard water.

I'm in Lake Havasu and ended up buying a residential water softener for my park model.

You know the water is hard when the restaurant server brings a pitcher and asks "one lump or two?"

Yup, I'm going to sit in Yuma for a couple of months before I head to Mexico so I don't want to unhook and drive to a water store for sure

I bought this one (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1) for my MH several years ago. We stay for 6 months on our lot. The 16,000 grain unit lasts us about a month. Regen takes a few hours start to finish. I buy salt for the regen at Sams. The Morton box is exactly what is required for one regen cycle. I see the exact unit I have is unavailable, but it looks like other similar sized ones are.

We built a house last year so we'll be using the in house unit from now on.

We were in Casa Grande this past February and March, the water there is hard. We have a 16,000 Grain water softener and had to regen it every 2 weeks out there.
