I've been sitting on the fence for a couple years about getting a softener installed in the house. I've recently done some fairly large remodels (kitchen, bathroom, with morre to come).
Long story short - I live in a 4-story split house. My main water supply comes into the house in my Laundry room (mid-basement). All of my plumbing and hot water heater are in the lowest basement, with no access to a drain.
Im pretty much looking at 3 options. 1) Putting in a floor drain; 2) pumping all the backwash up a level (which is what my A/C sump pump is doing now) or 3) using a salt-free system that doesn't require a drain.
In a perfect world, and if I believe everything the innerwebz tells me - I'm sold. But I'm looking for some real world experience on wheter or not these things work. Almost sounds too good to be true, and we all know how that works out in the end. So what do you have for me?
