Water softener?

[Cliff Rohrabacher]

you do know that

Nope, didn't know a damn thing about 'em 'cept they were deionizers and had a neutralizer.

I have the outside water supply on a Tee before the filter. And I bought the poly piping to install a kitchen line last year. Waiting to to the remodel in the spring before I hook it up.

My wife and I moved in to our new home in Dec 99'. I had to get a softener within six months because our clothes were getting red and stains were forming on the tubs, sinks and toilets. We also had a kitchen sink water filter installed which I use every day. The guys who drilled our well said we have the best water they have seen in our area. No salt, No sulpher but we do have iron like most do. We rent ours from a company called Culligan. If anything goes bad they get to fix it free. I have them deliver salt to me once a year and I put it in as I need it.

Our softener system uses potassium versus salt to backflush the resin tank. The system came from Culligan.

I appreciate the first hand experiences you guys wrote about. I have researched the web, and talked to a contractor. Everyone agrees that you should get a salt based system, without a timer (recharges as needed).

I am closing in on it, hopefully we will decide soon.
