Water softeners

[slowG]

Let me just say .. Ive never had one and have no experience with them. We will be using well water at our house and need to find something. I dont want to waste 5-700 on a Crappy one. Ive been trying to read up on them a bit but they are a little confusing. Can amyone recommend where i can find a complete package deal. It seems like clack is a good brand but not sure where to find anything. We have a family of 3 with 3 bathrooms.

I got my set up off a guy here on ingo. His name is David D. I forget what his INGO handle was, but I just used exactly what he recommended for my application and I absolutely couldn't be happier... All of the neighbors have rust issues even with there softeners and I have zero issues what so ever.

might look up my old threads dealing with water softeners and well questions and you might be able to find his handle and PM him. I cannot in good faith recommend anyone or anything else other than what he says you need.

I believe it is "huntinfool" he is a stand up guy. Helped me with an ac issue.

I'm a big fan of Kinetico softeners. Not cheap but well worth it IMO.

I am on a well also. A lot of iron/rust. I replace the one that came with the house with one from Lowes. It's only been a year so far and 1 have no idea how long will last but it works GREAT. Very soft water and no signs of rust. Uses about 1/2 the salt of the old 15 plus year old it replaced. Had a lot of good reviews.

Here is my set up. Huntinfool does sound like his handle, and you will not find a nicer more knowledgeable guy to work with.

Check out Aqua systems as in Avon. They have treated me right when it was time to replace the Aqua systems softener that was around 23 years old.

I've been interested in these myself. I'm on city water, so iron shouldn't be an issue.
I do wonder how good they really work? And if there are any plumber's in Indy knowledgeable enough about them?

Agreed, I got mine from there and have been very happy.

I spent a huge amount of time researching them. I came to the conclusion that they were unlikely to work within the context of most homes.

Crap. I liked the size and lack of work required.

Basically, There are commercials descaling systems which operates on the principle that these things claim to, but the no salt softeners don't seem to have the actual features of the commercial systems. They also seem to have a history of filling the Internet with what I'm going to call "questionable" reviews. I came to the conclusion that it was too good to be true, but if anyone can speak firsthand otherwise I would love to be proven wrong.

I bought one from Lowes and installed it myself. $300 maybe? 9 months later and still no scale in my Keurig coffee maker. #firstworldproblems

I'm glad that I only have first world problems.
