Hello all - I'm shopping around for a Fleck 7000 SXT softener and a matching carbon filter - 48,000 grains and 1.5 cubic foot. We're on city (suburban) water in south Orange County, CA.
I've found a few places online that will sell the pair of units for $1300-1600 delivered. One of the companies is Isopure Water (relatively local), and they quoted $1300 for the install. The install price seems a bit high - this is going in a garage on the main line in - 1.25" copper - and there doesn't seem to be any complicated issues - just a bunch of 1.25" copper, brass sweating, and running a drain line across the garage. I was expecting a price about half the quote for the install.
I can also save a bit on sales tax by going with one of the various other online retailers who are not local.
I'm looking for recommendations as to an online retailer - I can probably install this myself with all of the great advice from dittohead on these forums already, but I'm not opposed to spending money on an installer if it's a more reasonable cost.
Thanks in advance!
