I'm considering a water softener for my house. I've never ran any tests on the water coming into my house, so I don't know any specific details. My house is 3000 sq ft. It has 2.5 baths (two showers, two tubs, 6 sinks). I do get "white" spots all in my dishwasher and on dishes and my showers are always pretty "spotty." I've recently had one of my copper pipes spring a leak in my house, so I'm not sure if my water is degrading the copper or what. I do know that I get a white coating inside my copper water pipes. My incoming water pressure is 70 psi. I do use a high efficiency shower head in one of the bathrooms. I'm looking for a water softener system that is: fairly simple, low maintenance, very reliable, not loaded with unneeded "fancy thrills," and adequate for the size of this home. While I do live alone now, I may sell the house in the future so I'd like to get something adequate for the size of this home. I would really like to buy it online from a reputable store (if you have any suggestions, please let me know) and have a local plumber install it. It will be installed in my basement where the water enters my house. Any suggestions on a unit for my needs?
