So two choices, clean it up 6-12 months with CLR for $3
or add a softener in addition to the WHF.
85% of of the homes in the main part of TV use only the WHF 15% added a softener, so it is not mandatory it is an option.
In Fenney the water has a higher calcium level there about 45% have our softener.
Again many are satisfied with just the WHF @ only $575+tax
A softener added to the WHF is $899

We just moved in to a 6-yr-old house that had no water system previously. CLR is working somewhat to remove the water spots, but it is a struggle and will take awhile. Plus some of the spots have eroded the porcelain sinks.
I can compare prices of water filtration/softener systems because we have had them in every house since the 1980s. The Nova + softener is the least expensive we have ever had, and I believe the water is cleaner and tastes better than we have ever had.
Jimbo gave a good explanation over the phone, presented a couple of choices, and Brad did an excellent installation.
