Everyone, Andy is a Kinetico salesman so take that into consideration when reading what he says. Also, he does his best to prevent internet sales of water treatment equipment to DIYers; especially from me. I upset him a few years ago by calling their "non-electric" water powered control valve centuries old technology.
Andy suggests that you should call a local dealer out to your house. There is no need for a dealer or salesman to come out to your house to give you a choice of equipment or to explain the various choices of the softeners they sell.
If you have a water analysis on your well or your water company's water quality report data, they can size and price whatever it is they want you to own for whatever they want you to pay for it, over the phone.
They really want to come out to the house so they can twist arms to get a contract signed after dazzling you with their high priced and usually proprietary softener with the 'longest warranty in the business!" type sales hype.
If you want to be a DIYer, you can do all that is required with a toll free phone call to an internet dealer.
