Hi everybody. This is Craig the water guy. Thank you for visiting us today!
I want to go over the best portable RV water softener with you. I have an RV myself that we own. We like to take off on vacations and do a little traveling on the go. The issue we run across on a regular basis is how bad the water is in different areas. It dries your skin out and it's not good for the RV either.
Best Portable RV Water Softener Review 2020 - Compare Major Brands
So I put together a filtration system for my RV. I'm pretty happy with the way it works so I wanted to go over that with you real quick.
So the first thing that I did is...
I got tired of replacing those carbon filters all the time, on a regular basis. Some RVs have the housing already built into their RV. They put the carbon filter in there and replace it as needed. Other folks don't have that and they've purchase housing and have their own setup. And I still recommend that you use a carbon filter but instead of having to have that carbon filter plugged up on a regular basis it costs you a fortune and replaces the filters.
What I've done is I use an inline "T" separator here.
So this one shows a 1" what it is but I actually use 3/4" which we're going to put on our website for you so you can see those. What we do is these are threaded internally.
So you just screw your female and your male hose adapters into these and you bring your hose into the inlet side of it out. And then from there, you're gonna to run it through your water softener which I'll show you in a second.
The nice thing about these inline T profile the temperatures are going to remove the sediment out of the water.
They're cleanable filters. So this ball valve that comes with it, is you attach it to the bottom of the filter here. So once in a while, you just open up blow the sediment out with the filter it looks like you starts to get dirty.
You just shut the water off the hose. Open this valve and drain the pressure off. Unscrew this bowl. Pull the filter out and use a soft brush with water and go ahead clean it off and put it back in.
Portable RV Water Softener Filters
I've been using the same filter now for about 3 years and it is still good. So you can imagine the amount of money it saved without having to replace the filters on a regular basis on the carbon filter when I do that.
OK. So this is a big deal here. It's $79 to buy the whole setup that comes with the filter and the ball valve. You're ready to go!
It's a great deal. The nice thing about this too is that it doesn't restrict your flow. It's a high-flow water filter. So from there what I do is I run through the water softener.
Sizing the Portable Water Softener for Your RVs
There are different sized water softener for RVs out there. We've broken it down to different sizes for you. An 8,000-grain capacity is good for a single person parttime. Meaning that they don't live in their RV.
They just use it every once in a while with just one single person. You might be able to get away with two people if you like. You just gotta go out and have to add salt and recharge it more often is all.
I don't know about you but when I'm RVing I prefer to have fun, rather than worrying about maintenance stuff on a regular basis. But if you're the type of person that decides to do stuff like that when you get away with this.
The next portable water softener is good for two people. The two people are more expensive obviously but you'd go longer before you need to regenerate the system. Which I'll go over the regeneration process with you here in a minute.
The 21,000-grain capacity, which is a pretty good size. I mean your average home water softener is 32,000-grain capacity and some people even get 24,000 grain. So 21,000 grain is a pretty good size.
It's great for one or two people, even three people full-time or part-time if you don't want to maintain it as often.
For someone that lives in their RV and travels full-time with it. This is a really nice option to have.
Maintaining Your Portable RV Water Softener & Filter
So as far as maintenance goes, on these, you have a nice handle on them. They come with the connections, the host connections. The male and female connectors. If the bail and the female connectors. They have a nice handle on here so you could grab the handle. Move it around.
Up here is a plug. So what you're gonna do is, shut the water up to the hose that, if you go with this option here It will shut the water off here and open that valve with the greater pressure.
Then on the opposite side of this water softener, you're going to go ahead and turn the faucet on just to drain some pressure off the faucet on the outlet side the portable water softener.
Then what you're going to do is you're going to take this...See this plug right here, this gray plug. You're going to unscrew that. Unscrew that, then you just tip the water softener to the side and dump some water out of there so the water gets down to about a quarter of the way down. Leave some room for the salt.
What Salt Do I Need for My Portable Water Softener?
Just pick up standard table salt. Depending on the size of the system will depend on how much salt you'll use. For the 8,000-grain capacity system, you're going to use what small container Leslie salt. What I've done is at Costco I picked up a twenty-pound bag of table salt.
I just use a cup and I dump it in there. Then go ahead and screw this right back on. Turn the water back on and turn it on slowly and let the water run slowly through the drain. Just at a trickle. Just keep on checking the water until it's not salty anymore.
Taste it. When it's not salty anymore turn your hose up all the way and let it run out for about a minute or maybe two minutes tops. Then turned it off and you're ready to go!
When you go the 16,000-grain capacity you going to double up your dosage so you're going to use two small boxes of the Leslie table salt or two cups. It's the same process.
With the 21,000-grain system, you're going to use three boxes or three cups. Then you're ready to go! Of course again, the larger the RV water softener system, the longer you can you go before you need to do that process. So that's how that works.
Water Softener for Your RV with RO Systems
Then what I've done with mine is I'll also run it through a reverse osmosis system. So my reverse osmosis system has a carbon filter already in it. It already has two carbon filters and a sediment filter as well and it has the high-efficiency membrane with an alkalizer filter is what I use.
So what I do here is after my water softener is inside my cabinet inside my pass through on my RV is I go from the water softener directly into here. The nice thing about this particular RO over other ones I've used over the years is this one is a high-efficiency RO so it only wastes one gallon of water for every gallon it makes. Your typical RO wastes anywhere 3 to 4 gallons for every gallon that it makes. This is a big deal especially for RVs because you're draining the water to the ground usually so you're always looking for a place to put it where it's not going to a flooded area it could be it yourself or the people around you.
So this is a one-to-one which is nice. You shouldn't have any complaints about that. The way this system works here is the water in the softener runs through the sediment filter first. Goes through both the carbon filters, goes through the membrane, which should produce up to 75 gallons per day.
Then coming out of the membrane to your little storage tank that it comes with, It goes through your carbon block filter for polishing or you use what I use, which is the alkalizer which will raise the pH up to about 8 to 8.5 for you which is really nice to have because RO water is acidic so if you don't raise the pH balance up and you put RO water to your hot water heater, which is metal, It will corrode those. So it's really nice to raise that pH up.
What I do is I run into my water tank and I use my water pump to feed the whole RV with RO water. So we have really nice soft water throughout the RV as well as purified water from the reverse osmosis system.
If you don't want to do it that way, then you could just run a line from there, up to your kitchen sink, and put a spigot there. It comes with a nice chrome spigot and you can do it that way or you could just install it underneath you sink in your RV if that's what you want to do.
But for me what I do again is that I run it into my fresh water storage tank and I pump it out from there. So that's how that system works. If you want to add the alkalizer to it, you can add it to the cart. It brings up the price a little bit but that will definitely give you the best of the best all the way around. I hope that helps you, folks, out today.

How Spin-Down Sediment Filter works
The sand separator utilizes a replaceable, cleanable polyester screen that filters large sediments.
Occasionally, the sediment will have to be flushed or cleaned out.
Simply open the ball valve (red handle) at the bottom to allow water pressure to flush out sediments.
The clear sump housing allows you to see and properly monitor any trapped sediment.
- In a bucket, mix 1 gallon of water with 1 ounce of bleach.
- Turn water off to the filter.
- Open the bottom ball valve to release pressure off the system.
- Unscrew the filter bowl from the tee, and pull out the O-ring and filter. Place the O-ring aside.
- Dip and swirl the filter screen in the bucket to remove all heavy particles out. If needed, use a soft brush.
- Re-insert the filter and O-ring. Then hand tighten the housing bowl back on to tee.
- Shut off the ball valve, and turn the water on.

FULL IN-DEPTH REVIEW
Read Our Full SoftPro RV - Portable Water Softener Review:
SoftPro has created the perfect product to ensure you don’t have to suffer from hard water anymore. Traveling in an RV means you have to use whatever water is available. Sometimes you get clean, quality water, and sometimes you’re not so lucky. You may get unbearably hard water that leaves stains and spots on surfaces and can leave you with dry, itchy skin.
To combat this gamble, use a water softener. You’ll consistently have water you’re comfortable using to wash your clothes, clean your car, take a shower, and even make a pot of coffee with!
The SoftPro Portable RV Water Softener has several features that have drawn us towards it. First off, the tanks have three sizes to choose from—8,000 grains, 16,000 grains, and 21,000 grains.
The tank itself is well-built, stable, and easy to transport. The tank begins to shine when it is in use. The softness of the water is instantly noticeable.
Whenever needed, everyday table salt can be used to keep that softened water coming through. Many past purchasers have also noted their model has lasted far longer than expected before needing regeneration.
- Competitive pricing
- Ease of use
- True softened water
- Long-lasting product
In all sincerity, there isn’t much to gripe about. Sure, we could say that maybe SoftPro isn't as well known as other manufacturers.
But considering how great it works – and that the portability is even better than competing products, then it’s tough to complain.
The Soft Pro Water Softener is best for RV owners who want a portable water softener that saves time and money. Compared to competitors, this model is easy to set up, efficient, and reliable for everyday use.
The largest size is 16,000 grains, which is typically ideal for 2-3 full-time (or part-time) RVers.
This water softener is ideal for anyone who needs softened water in their RV or motorhome. Everyday life necessitates the frequent use of water. Whether you’re flushing the toilet, cleaning your dishes, or washing the outside of your RV, you’re using water.
When you’re using hard, mineral-rich water, you’re setting yourself up for dirty dishes, stains, scale build up, gross deposits and spots on surfaces the water has touched. Furthermore, when you shower with water like that, your skin suffers. You’re left with rough, dry skin.
Using the Portable RV Water Softener, you don’t have to worry about all that. No more dishes with spots on them. Your RV will look spotless after cleaning it. Your water will smell clean, feel clean, and leave all your goods clean!
If you’re looking for a quality water softener that is going to last long and give you water you can feel comfortable using, this is your go-to model.

FULL IN-DEPTH REVIEW
Read Our Full SoftPro RV - Portable Water Softener Review:
To start, SoftPro is built in the US, has free shipping, and a lifetime warranty. Compared to other, similar water softeners, the lifetime warranty is extremely enticing. Furthermore, the product comes with live customer support.
This water softener ranges from 21.5 inches high by 6 inches wide to 33.5 inches tall by 8 inches wide, depending on the model. The tank weighs anywhere from 26 pounds to 54 pounds. All the models are a good size and not too heavy that would put potential clients off.
The design is sleek and appealing. On the top portion of the tank, two threads, male and female, come off either side. At the very top, there is a handle allowing you to easily pick up the tank and move it.
The SoftPro portable water softener is perfect for anyone who owns an RV or a camper. As it’s a portable tank, it can be hooked up to any water source.
- The PWS-8 Model:
This 8,000-grain model is ideal for one person who uses their RV part-time. If you’re one individual who lives in the RV, you may want to consider a size up. - The PWS-16:
The mid-size model comes with 16,000-grain and is perfect for two people who share the RV space. Alternatively, one individual who lives in their RV could greatly benefit from this size.
If you’re one person living in your RV, you can still get by just fine with the 8,000-grain model. You just may need to add salt more frequently than someone who uses it part-time.
As the SoftPro water softener can use normal table salt, adding salt more often is not an issue!
Plus, the regeneration process is a breeze.
Cleaning your dishes, your RV, your clothes, and showering with softened water are obvious benefits. However, this portable water softener also protects your plumbing.
If you let hard water run through your pipes, minerals may scale, or build-up, over time. This can significantly reduce the lifetime of such parts.
Thus, using the SoftPro water softener saves more than just your skin and dishes—it saves your RV’s pipes and appliances!
Although the SoftPro portable water softener offers soft, great-tasting water consistently, it does include the option of adding accessories for further water-filtering benefits. Clients can purchase an Inline T Sand Separator. Why purchase this, you may ask.
The bottom line is that this accessory keeps small particles out of your water softener, thus protecting your RV. The T Sand Separator is a high-impact, non-corrosive filter that uses a reusable polyester screen.
Whenever it gets dirty, you clean it off. No need to spend more money on a new filter because it’s reusable! Some clients have reported using it for over 3 years with consistent results.
All you need to do is remove the filter and clean it with water and a brush. Place it back in the water softener, and you’re good to go!
EASY INSTALLATION

Simple. Quick. Seamless.
Installing this water softener is as easy as it gets. Once you know where you want to keep it placed, use two adapters, one female and one male, to get it ready to go.
One past purchaser even commented, “IT TOOK LONGER TO GET OUT OF THE BOX THAN TO INSTALL IT LOVE IT”.
It’s safe to say, past purchasers have loved how easy this product is to use.
If you’re going for significant lengths of time between uses, you don’t need to drain the water for storage. Nor will you need to dump the water when you come back. All you have to do is regenerate the water before you use it.
To regenerate your water softener, just add salt! You don’t need to use a special type of salt either—you can use table salt or whatever you happen to have. For the 8,000-grain model, all you need is a cup of salt.
To regenerate the water softener, open the top of the tank and pour in the cup of salt!
Seal it up and let the water run through it. When running water through, only let a bit go through at a time, just a trickle of water. Continually check the water by tasting to see if it is clean and salt-free. Users have reported this process can take anywhere between a minute and 90 seconds.
If you have the 16,000-grain model, you’ll need to double up on the salt. Use 2 cups of water. This process may take a bit longer than the 8,000-grain tank as it’s a larger size.
For the 21,000-grain tank, you’ll have to use 3 cups or just under 3 cups. The same process as before—let the water trickle through. Taste it and when it’s salt-free you’re good to go.

Customer rave about the savings and convenience.




The really unique thing about our R/O filtration is the addition of the alkalizing filter. Standard RO systems will lower your water’s PH to 6 or 6.0, making it acidic. You may be aware that our bodies don’t do well on acidic water as there have been lots of studies done on Reverse Osmosis (RO) Drinking Water Filters on this subject. This is why it’s important to alkalize your RO water so you’re getting pure, clean, delicious, AND totally healthy water...
Our RO system can handle 75 gallons per day of drinking water, which is more than plenty. It’s a high-efficiency system also. Most RO filters waste 3-5 gallons of water for every 1 gallon of filtered water. But our RO system is a 1 to 1 ratio, making it much more efficient.
