Who has a water softener they are happy with and would recommend? I know my "friends" will come out of the woodwork with this question trying to sell me something.

We don't have any and don't feel the need.

We have a whirlpool softener that we bought at Lowes. I think it was around $450.00 plus about $200.00 for a plumber to install.
The water here is fine but very hard. A lot of limestone. We have softened our water over forty years and just like soft water.

Almost all water softeners don't filter the water they only soften it.

Some have carbon but loose carbon not a carbon bloc, big difference between those, loose carbon allows pass through due to channeling, this is because water can push the carbon around finding a channel to essentially bypass the carbon.

So what you get is chlorine, sediment and metals to cook and shower (fill your pool & spa.....:pray: to stay safe.

Hard water has not been reported to be unsafe.

We recommend not installing water softeners (and I can sell/install them) rather our three stage Whole House Water filter
