Water softeners
I think our old softener is about history, I've followed the manual doing cleaning cycles, etc. but it don't help much anymore. I've always kinda gone the el cheapo route (Sears, this is probably about our fourth or fifth one. Just wondering what other folks do, buy the high dollar Kinetico, rent from Culligan, or go the Sears route again? Do the rental companys furnish the salt or do you maintain it yourself, that is kind of an issue with us because neither I or the Mrs. can lug bags of salt to the basement anymore so we wait for one of the kids to show up for salt duty. Thanks. Frank.

KW; Failure soon after the warranty expires has kind of been my experience with Sears too. I've always been kind of a hard sell on extended warrantys, but maybe a softener should be an exception. I saw an article in the paper once about Sears income sources. First was credit card intrest, second was extended warrrantys, and third was retail sales. I just talked to a brother inlaw who too has had a Kinnetico for 10 yrs. without a hitch. I am going to check with Culligan, if they deliver and put the salt in the unit, that may be the way for us, I'm sure that five years down the road we won't be any more able to lug salt bags than we are today. Anybody use Culligan, roughly what do they charge? Thanks. Frank.

DR; Wow, that seems like a lot of salt, but then I don't really understand the hardness scale at 38 either, so maybe your water is super hard. I don't want to appear too dumb but what is an RO system? Frank.

Broken; Do you rent your unit or did you buy it?

Broken: Thanks for the response. Since I first posted I managed to nurse the old Sears back to life again, but this is probably it's death rally. When she does bite the big one, I think I'll go with a rental Culligan so the "Culligan Man", or lady, which ever can carry the salt to the basement. Thanks to all who educated me on the R/O system, that sounds like something I'll look into when the time comes for a new softener. Thanks again. Frank.
