Best water softening system for an apartment renter?

Hello all. I recently moved out of my parents’ house and into my own apartment, which has been great minus one thing - my water is no longer soft. They had a whole house softener, which of course is not feasible for me as a renter.

I know real water softening solutions for apartments are quite limited as all those shower head attachments that advertise as water softeners are really just chlorine filters for the most part. I used a Showerstick softener about six years ago that I no longer have, which I remember worked well at first but seemed to become less effective after just a few months, even with consistent recharging.

I was getting ready to buy a new one (I see the price has basically doubled in the last few years..) but I’m now seeing a newer product by SoftWaterCare popping up. It looks like it uses a similar set up to RV water softeners. Would this be a better option than the Showerstick? I know you don’t have to recharge it as often.

Any other products I should consider? Trying to get soft water in an apartment is so much harder than it should be!
