Water Softener Cartridge FAQs

Do SpiroPure water softening cartridges contain polyphosphates?

No they do not. SpiroPure water softening cartridges contain a sodium-based softening resin. The ion-exchange media uses a bed of sodium-form cation resin beads to reduce hardness and scale deposits from your water. We do have polyphosphate cartridges available for purchase.

Can I use this water softener cartridge in place of a pleated sediment filter in my water filter housing?

Yes, SpiroPure water softener cartridges are standard sizes and can be used in any standard-sized filter housing of the corresponding measurement. However, please note that these are water softening cartridges meant for removing hardness and scale deposits, not sediment.

Can I clean and reuse the filter cartridge once it is expended?

No, cleaning and reusing these filters is not recommended. We do have reusable / refillable empty cartridges available for purchase.
