Review: Does what it is supposed to do - I guess - check price and generally, buy the larger bottle - Started using this stuff when our water-softener began giving us grief. We had it serviced and the guy who came out replaced a gasket or something and recommended this stuff. We add a couple of caps-full (or so) as each bag of salt is emptied into the salt tank (where the brine-solution girds its proverbial loins for the electro-chemical charge the resin needs capture the minerals). Since we started using it, the softener seems to be working better and better. Oh happy day. If buying it on desertcart, consider the price per ounce. The larger bottles are typically a better deal. Review: Best leave the rest. - This product last very well beyond 8 month if use as directed. It definitely do what it says will do,, no runarounds . ## Features - Effective Water Softener Cleaner: This unique blend is formulated to remove limited iron, manganese, silt, metal particles, and organic compounds that cause softener and resin inefficiencies - Resin Cleaner: Formulated for limited-iron water, this water softener cleaner restores and extends the life of polluted resin beds; It's a fast and effective way to prevent iron and mineral buildup - Easy to Use: For regular maintenance, add this water softener cleanser powder with your salt.

There are separate products which are better for cleaning your softener when your water source is high in iron. **Q: Is this a 4 or 5 pound container? Description says 4 pounds but pic shows 5 pounds. Thanks** A: i am not home to look at it, but i believe it's 4 # **Q: If anyone has an empty 4lb or 1.5lb bottle of this, can you fill it up with water and tell me how many gallons of liquid it holds?** A: The 1.5 lb bottle is the same size and shape as a quart of motor oil, but a bit thinner. So guessing it would hold about 28-30 oz of water. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does what it is supposed to do - I guess - check price and generally, buy the larger bottle *by T***A on July 18, 2024* Started using this stuff when our water-softener began giving us grief.

It has added years to the life of the resin in our softener unit. This time, however, it arrived fused into a single block in the container; impossible to use. I did receive a full refund, so three cheers for great customer service. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pro Products Softener Mate, Whole House Water Softener System Cleaner, Removes Limited Iron, Manganese, Silt, Metal, and Organic Compounds that Cause Inefficiencies, 4 Lbs - Pro Products - RO05B RO65N Rust Out Water Softener Cleaner And Iron Remover, 4.75 lb. - Pro Products Res Care Water Softener Cleaner, All-Purpose Whole House Water Softener System Liquid Cleaning Solution Maintains Resin , 1-Gal Bottle --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1419449-softener-mate-whole-house-water-softener-system-cleaner-removes-limited](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1419449-softener-mate-whole-house-water-softener-system-cleaner-removes-limited) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
