We agree softeners are not required, they are an add-on option, the water in Fenney is a bit harder than the main part of TV and we have installed more there.
Cost is another consideration as well, ours is $899 but we don't charge thousands like others.
Softeners only perform one function removing calcium & magnesium.
They do not filter out sediment, chlorine, taste, odor and other impurities.
If you do opt to add softener using potassium chloride rather than plain salt has more benefits for a number of reasons.
A metered softener uses less water than the timed system because they regen only after a set number of gallons are used instead of a set day of the week regardless of how much water is used.
