Well here goes - first post
Hey All,
Looking to get into the world of water softening for my new home (actually 2 years old) and am looking for some guidance, assistance and just good professional advice.
I have had 2 companies out to the house to test and suggest (actually there was a third small co. guy who, based on my basic info and him being familiar with the area gave me his rec.) so I could get an idea of what
I might need for my application.
Basic info is 5 people 2 adults 3 animals (kids) 4, 10, 14. 1 1/4" main into home, ECO water and Culligan guys measured 10 and 13 GPG respecfully , I honestly don't know what my GPD per person are - we aren't crazy water waisters, but we do shower - so don't know if there is a good safe #.
I'm looking for high efficiency when it comes to salt use and water waste which I believe comes from accurate design from what I've heard people talk about.
I am fully capable of doing it myself and most likely will. Would also like to know of QUALITY online vendors if that is a fair question.
Also - city water, have a pelican combo carbon and saltfree softener (don't worry I learned saltfree don't do crap for softening water - at least I was smart enough to become a dealer and buy it for 40% less than any posted sale price). I am keeping the nice commercial grade carbon unit - it works well. I believe it will actually help maintain a good resin bed - Yes?
I appreciate any and all good info.
Thanks,
Max
