## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i select which facets get non-softened water? can i set it for the level of softening that i want? will this soft water damage outdoor plants?**
A: 1. The softener has no facilities to control water distribution.  It only softens one input line to one output line.  
2. You can only set the gallons of water per recharge based on your area water hardness and usage per day.
3. The softened water cannot be used to irrigate plants.  It will kill plants due to saline level of the water.

**Q: Forgive my ignorance, does the bypass valve allow to use the water bypassing the softener?**
A: Depends on style, seems like we use a different or separate bypass so we could take the unit offline for any needed repairs or service although it has not been needed.  Better to have water than to have not!!

**Q: One of the comments states something about the seller having posted installation videos... is there a link somewhere to those installation videos?**
A: yes they are on youtube

**Q: What brand of resin do you use?**
A: Indion is what we use. If Indion is out of stock we use Purolite.
