Hello, answers in blue: Todd is the BWT both a filter and a softener? It is a water conditioner and this 10 minute video will explain what you need to know. It will take care of lime scale build up and flavor.
I already installed the second cannister for filter/softener system. However, the space is very limited and I'm not confident that I can install the configuration I want with so many JG fittings and shut off valves. If the BWT is a one cannister system, it might be an economically feasible system, by the time I purchase all the john guest fittings that I need for my current set up. My machine did come with a fitting for BWT to 3/8" NPT, right? Yes, your water line that came with the machine will screw directly onto the head. No other fittings needed. I'll hold off purchasing the JG fittings until I have heard from you re: number of cannisters required with the BWT system. Also, does the drain line fitting run out from beneath the drip tray? I will need to get one since I have decided that soon I will run a drain line. Your machine came with a drain cup that fits under the drip tray. Just drill a hole in the drip tray and run a drain line. The machine came with drain line but you can also grab a line from your hardware store. thanks for your input On Thu, Jan 7, 2016 at 7:01 AM, Jenni Moser <[email protected]> wrote: > Todd is the BWT both a filter and a softener?
