WaterAnywhere softener cartridges?

[MDL]

I have been purchasing my softener and carbon cartridges from WaterAnywhere for numerous years. The most recent set of softener cartridges (purchased three about 1 year ago) seems to be poor. I installed one yesterday that is not softening at all.

Has anyone else been experiencing trouble with softener cartridges from Water Anywhere?

Thanks,
Mark

Not sure if this is your problem, but I have found that softener cartridges do not hold up to storage. I can buy carbon filter cartridges in bulk, but I have buy softener cartridges individually as I need them. Condolences that you bought three.

I had purchased a few myself, and although I didn't notice softening problems, they were sealed in plastic with paperwork that had a staple. The stapled rusted terribly during storage and I threw the last cartridge out because rust was all over.
