Newbie here. I noticed a few posts on water softeners and figured that this was the place to post my question.
I need/want a new softener. I believe that the one that I have is original to the house and that would make it about 25 yrs. old.
A few years ago I installed a Kinetico greensand filter ahead of the softener to combat an iron problem and it is still working fine. The pressure tank is a few years old and I installed a new pump last year. All tests point to the ancient softener and it's not using much (if any) salt. I fugure that I'm due for a new one.
The question is, what is a good brand/model without breaking the bank? They are discussing putting us on city water in the next few years so I don't think that I need the best at this point. Can you guys/ gals help an old dude out?
