If you want one, I suggest you go to Sears, Watch for a sale on them. Only a couple companies make water conditioners but make them under different brand names. Got mine at Sears after much investigation and saved $$$ vs the big "Brand Names" Had Sears install it. Have had it 5 yrs and am very pleased. Bag of salt costs about $5-6 and lasts 6-8 months.
