On The Go Portable RV Water Softener

This is what I use but OTG says not required:

I hung a 10" filter on the side of my OTG softener. I use a cheap 5 micron filter in it and change it the same time I change my WH filter, which is every month or two.

I also wash the coach, my car, and the Harley with the softened/filtered water. It leaves a lot less spots.

The double is the best.

I've gone a full year without backflushing or a Regen. Just tested it the other day, and it's still cranking out really soft water!

I bought two large black Bin trays from Home Depot, and put a section of small pool noodle along each side, glued down, to form a cradle for both my DI and SW tanks. They lay flat in the bay on the wet side. My process is to pull them out BEFORE putting the FWS out, which REALLY saves the back.

My quick connect system is a GODSEND, and I can hook everything up in about 20 seconds.

@CaptainGizmo , looks like a nice setup. What kind of filter is that ahead of the OTG?

That’s a Camco pre-filter. I always use one before my SW tank or fill-hose.

Perfect. That’s the right price. Not sure why the Amazon price was so high on that 3-pack.

After reading a lot of reviews I also decided to buy On The Go OTG4. It's really very good. My wife and I often pass through some places with extremely hard water so we invested it in our RV. After filtering, the water has a different taste, we are very pleased with it.
