This water softener is only 5 years old and is in good working condition. The reason I’m selling it is the bypass manifold developed a leak on the one of the threaded connections. I have repaired this with marine epoxy and it could likely be put back in service. If you have a Vitapure softener this could be useful for parts as they are no longer in production and parts are not available. These units, new, came with two manifold options. If you have a spare manifold let me know as I may be interested in purchasing it. I’m taking offers on this unit, as is.
