ATLANTIS AT210 FACTORY RECONDITIONED WATER SOFTENER
Our old water softener was on its last legs, and this one (factory reconditioned by Atlantis - but seemed as new to me) at a bargain price stood out. We weren't disappointed. Installing it ourselves was not too difficult, aided by a video if you google 'How to Install an Atlantis AT210'.
There is a separate installation kit available from Atlantis, but the components of the kit can be assembled on your own. I preferred pushfit to the kit's compression stop valves. The fitting for hard in and solf out is 3/4" each end but I understand that washing machine hoses are not suitable, and also being rather long at a typcal 1.5m, so I found Monarch flexible 600mm pipes from a local plumbing shop.
You will also need hoses for the waste and overflow. I found that cut lengths of garden hose willl do for both.
Set up once installed is simple - test your water for hardness using the kit supplied and choose the right setting from four options.
I wasn't sure it would work straight from the box, so I ran a manual recharge first.
Early days yet, but it seems to be very economical on salt tablets.
