Can this be used under a sink to soften the water coming out of that sink?

I suppose you could but I would think there were better solutions. This unit is pretty large and is designed to handle an entire RV. It may be a little overkill for your situation. You would need access to flush and recharge which might mean removal from under the sink from time to time.

If you had all the right ends to hook it up. Would be really hard to regenerate in that spot though.

I think it would be clumsy because of the recharging procedure. With some modification to the fittings it comes with it could be used under a sink.

I am not sure. You probably would have problems because it operates on a water hose..and pressure. We use it on our motorhome between water hook-up and unit..outside.

Used it and it works great! Have not flushed it yet but everything on it is perfect.

I don't know. Perhaps ask or call the manufacturer for that as being submerged might not be an intended use.

I see no reason why not. Just be aware that it is not really a water softener it is more of a filter with a component that prevents hard water buildup on pipes. I still get hard water Christals in the faucet screens although not as many as without this product. Still, soap and shampoo don't lather as well as with soft water. Hope this answers your questions.

I'm not sure because I don't have a sink to test it. But when I did have a stainless sink, I used SoftScrub and it wasn't bad.

Yes if can definetly be used in the kitchen sink as long as you do not have a garbage disposal.

I found that this slows down the water flow rate significantly in a short amount of time, so I do not use it for that purpose. I now use it with a 1/2" dowel for glass cleaning. It works great!!

Yes, it absolutely can if your sink only has one hole. If sink is predrilled for a three hole for aucet, the base is used to cover the extra holes. We did it that way and it looks great!

I suppose it a small buffer might work. I just used a rag and my 10 year old porcelain sink looks new.

No, a water softener would remove hardness. But this more or less polishes soft water to removes odor and flavor problems. It does take some lead, chlorine, and other bad tastes and odors.

I wouldn't think it would fit in an under-sink application. This tank (estimate) is 2ft tall. I am a licensed plumber. I ran a 1/2" pex line remotely to a basement.

Possibly. If you had the right bit for stainless steel. This sink is awesome!

Yes, it just softens the water so you use less detergent. Don't forget to decrease your amount of detergent.

You could, but I think you might be disappointed by the small amount of noise control it may provide. I think the stuff manufacturers typically attach to stainless steel sinks is more 'rubbery', and dampens vibration better than this foam.

We used it for a wet bar sink. I wouldn't use it in a kitchen due to smaller size.

it could, it would really depend on how big your sink is in the bathroom, it also would depend on if your bathroom faucet has the correct hook up (a screw/ twist on adapter). So depending on how big of a washing area (sink) you have with how much clearance you have with the faucet, this could maybe work. It all depends on the dimensions.

Under the sink is the best as it is so close to the end use point. It is a surprisingly compact unit and with flex supply lines you can plumb it where it is easy to work on and then hang it on the in-side or in-back of the sink base. The mounting bracket is a french cleat type. You mount the bracket and the unit lifts on and off easily. If under sink is not an option then as close as possible would work.
