Completely Oil Free Masks

Do any sheet masks exist that are completely free of any types of oils? Fragrance or otherwise? I’d love a soothing/hydrating mask, but I feel like most have some form of oil. Has anyone else come across this? Are oils very common in AB? Or most people just do well with them?

Fleck5600 Settings Help

Can someone with Fleck experience please review these settings for me?

We just installed a 32k grain softener with a carbon filter before due to high chlorine.

Our water hardness is 9.8 gpg, family of 4. Water is city water so treated, but the city does pull from a well (may be irrelevant).

Our plumber planned to use the sink drain on the other side of the wall to where we’re putting our softener for the softener to drain. He was wanting to take the softener drain line up to our attic where the sink drain (vent stack) goes up to, but it would be higher than the 6 feet up that the softener manual says the drain can go. Is there another option that isn’t straight upward but prevents cross connection? Has anyone DIYd any solution to something similar?

Our plumber thinks he can use the sink drain on the other side of the wall to where we’re putting our softener for our softener to drain. He was wanting to take the softener drain line up to our attic where the sink drain apparently goes up to, but he said it’ll be higher than the softener manual says the drain can go up for the psi. Is there another option? Has anyone DIYd something similar? I don’t know much but thought we could just go through the wall instead of up and back down?

Our main water line comes up in our master closet - there is a coat closet sharing the wall. The garage with the water heater is on the opposite end of the home (40-50 ft away). The plumber came out and talked about running PEX up through the attic to the garage, through the softener, then back to the main waterline, but we are nervous about having it in the attic with freezing. Would it be a bad idea to install the softener in the coat closet next to where the main line is? We would have to add a drain and an outlet, but the expenses will probably end up about the same as running 50ft of pipes through the attic. Does anyone have their systems in their house? Is this a bad idea? Or would freezing be a non-issue since it will essentially be the new main line with water (I’m assuming) always running through it?
