I'm getting ready to buy a new water softener. The Kinetico installer came out and said I need a 110,000 grain twin tank setup due to number of people in the house, bathrooms, hardness etc.
I had a clack installer tell me I only needed a 48,000 grain twin tank setup. They said the reason I don't need the massive tank setup is because it's a twin tank and it continuously provides water. They said it would regenerate more often. But, that's not really an issue like with a single tank. This answer makes sense to me. I know I might waste a little more water. But, if I have to regenerate a 110,000 grain once a week vs a 48,000 grain twice a week, wouldn't they use the same amount of salt?
Is there any reason why I would need a 110,000 grain setup when using the twin tank configuration? My water hardness is 30 and I have no iron. I have a well.
Our water pressure isn't massive, so there is no flow issue with the smaller tank. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks!
