I recently bought one filter (Orbit 10109W for Mist Calcium inhibitor) and I am exceptionally pleased with the outcome. I had to have work done on my pool and had to refill it with approximately 10,000 gallons. I found (Tucson water high in Calcium load) that the filter did exactly what I had hoped for. The calcium load was already reduced by my Pelican filtration system from 600ppm to 200ppm and it also lowered the TDS from 1800ppm to 600ppm which is also great.
Because of this dramatic change for the better I added the same filter to my secondary ice maker (Uline) which should decrease the cleaning from every 6 months to 12 months. In addition, since I need to clean the external pool 4 cartridige tank at least 3 to 4 times a year using the old system but now will add another filter to the standard hose system to also decrease any additional Calcium being added when refilling the external pool cartridge tank. This may seem to be over indulgent but at this price it ultimately makes my life better since I have less concern of calcium issues with the management of the entire pool.
Great product. I learned about this filter by exploring Amazon. Deelivery was fast and the placement of the filter for the outside hose was very simple. For the house secondary ice maker I had to get a buch of parts to adapt to a my valve and with help from Ace hardware I spent about $70 to adapt this filter into my inline water system for the ice maker. Easy to do and based on water usage for the ice maker I will not need to change this filter more than once a year.

Update:
I'm on my 3rd unit. I use them for a patio swamp cooler. Very pleased with the first 2 units. Both lasted approximately 60 days each. Calcium buildup was virtually zero.
My 3rd unit has failed miserably. Calcium build up in all filters. 5 stars for the first 2 and a zero for the 3rd. It's a. Quandary.
