My water softener system is old and shot, and needs to be completely replaced.
Does anyone have ideas/information about how to have the best long-term value? Specific ideas/brands/advice very much appreciated.
My water has 1.2 parts of iron, calcium, and tannins. One salesperson from a water softener company said that I can achieve what I need with just the softner--no need for extra filters.
Probably the most important things to me are good water and low lifetime cost (meaning, low salt cost, low replacement parts cost, etc.)
Thanks in advance!
