Contact your local dealer for the Kinetico Water Softner (It uses no electric !! automatic dual tanks) compare it to Sears and Culligan look at the facts and long term costs and benefits....uses less salt...significantly shorter cycle times...all automatic....example you might save in excess of $6,000 over 10 years (salt cost & electric + maintenance ? + reduced costs of soap, shampoos, laundry soap) benefits of clean soft water.
Test your water (Rep will do-very important)....determine appropriate size for your home (Rep will do) determine how much soft water you will use (Rep will help )
