The Camco RV and Marine Premium Water Filter, part # CAM40631 is a water filter, not a softener. A water softener will use calcium or some other media to remove the calcium and magnesium from water. In other words, the filter removes the solids from the water, while a water softener uses a chemical reaction to remove dissolved metals from the water.
