We installed a Sears water softener and a Sears whole house water filter, parts costs around $800 (they now have a combo unit for less). This provides water that is soft, and so clear that the crystal we was in the dish washer over the last year is as clear as the crystal that has never been used, and we do not use jet dry or any other additives. We use salt to recharge the water softener. NOTE we did notice the hard water as soon as we moved in.
