I have had a water softener for the past 30-plus years. I had a well for 25 years in NJ and we liked the softener water so much, we bought one down here after we tried the water without one.

It all depends on what you are used to.

Z, again, this thread is about water filters. An earlier poster in this thread posted that they had paid almost $500 for a water filtering system. That system no doubt works fine and it may be much less expensive than your water softener but it's a heck of a lot more expensive than my whole house filtering system. As even YOU said, water filters and water softeners have different functions and are priced differently. I have neighbors in NY and in Florida who have softeners and love them. I have neighbors in NY and in Florida who, like me, have whole house water filters and think they're great. Whatever floats your boat but my boat floats fine for way less money than yours.
