My mother in law has decided she needs a water softener.
2000 SF house, Tucson, AZ. City water. She is the only occupant but has ocassional guests.
I have done quite a bit of surfing and arrived at the following conclusions. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Most big box products are cheap but tend to be of marginal to average quality. More problems and failures.
Proprietary products (Cull....) are extremely overpriced, must be serviced by the seller and usually come with a high pressure, in home sales pitch.
I hear Fleck and Clack recommended quite often. Are these just valves or complete systems?
So, I would like to get a high quality, reliable system at a fair price.
Recommended brands to consider?
Should I just contact a few plumbers and get quotes on these brands?
Recomendations?
Thank you for your help.
