We bought in St Charles about 18 months ago.....luckly we only had one softner comp0any contact us....we listened to their offer and like yours....they made it sound like we would be dead in a year if we did not buy their system.....wife and i knew it was BS

however....now after thos 18 months, wife i telling me "the diswasher does not work as well as it di in NY and i am using more detergent in the washer than in NY and the coffee tastes like crap".......sooooo.....

yes the water here is hard....but you may not need a 4-6,000 dollar system to solve the problem.

for now...we got a BRITA system for our coffee water and over time...will explore a water softner system on our own.
