We ended up putting in a whole house system but not because we listened to the folks who bombarded us with calls and knocks on the door right after we moved in. Neither of us cared for the taste of the water, the dry skin after a shower or the condition of the dishes/glasses coming out of the dishwasher. When we checked on the dishwasher we were told we needed special soap. But we decided to check with a couple of the water treatment companies listed in the phone book and eventually went with one of them. Since then the taste of the water is better, no problems with dry skin and the dishes/glasses coming out of the dishwasher look a lot better. Perhaps it is just us but we do feel that spending the $3,000 was a good move for us.
As far as the folks who will hound you once you move in I would not give them the time of day. A couple of them starting pricing their products at around $2,000 and then after a couple of days they would call and drop their prices, one of them to as low as $900. As I told them since they were so willing to drop prices once I would not commit right away that made me feel as though this was someone I could not trust.
