Repair of replace advice

DonL said:

With the price of salt on the rise it may be a good move to just replace it.

Salt savings alone would be a good plus.
Good Luck.

that's a good point. I usually just go to Sears Hardware and buy 4/5 bags at a time for like 20 something bucks but if you add up what it costs in a year, it's not insignificant. Today I'm scheduling the install for next week.

Don't look back, You are making a good decision.

I use the Morton Rust removing salt, Green bag, and it is about $8 a bag at WM. Be careful with additives.

Many pros will say Green Bag is a waste of money, But my 20 year old softener is working fine. Additives may work if you have a proper dosing system.

I would never add iron-out if you have a system failure. It is not a fix all.



Have Fun.
