Supposed to improve the life of water-using appliances and pipes; lower amounts of soaps, detergents, shampoos necessary; Cost is approx. $3500.
Anyone else been contacted or have any comments?
We had decided prior to moving here last year that we wanted to get a whole house system, mostly a personal choice with us. Right after closing the phone calls from the various companies started. GE was the 1st to come out and test our water and provide an estimate. Since we were just starting to look we told them we would let them know. Later that day we got a phone call from that reps manager offering us a "deal" on a trade show leftover. Again we said thanks but not right now. Two subsequent calls from the same company over the next couple of days were a big turnoff. We ended up searching the yellow pages and getting a system for just over $3,000.
