So I am having a new house built in southern Indiana. It will be serviced with public water. Like most residential areas, the water is hard. I am looking for a good, reliable water softener solution without breaking the bank. I'm already shelling out a lot of money on this house and gone over budget on just about all of my selections. In the one tank solutions, I am considering the Morton MHY. It offers demand regeneration and treats 27k hardness. And it has a built-in, self-cleaning water filter. On paper, this sounds pretty good. But I am also considering the Fleck 5600SXT. I have noticed this is pretty popular in all the rankings I have looked at. Of course others based on the Clack valve are rated well too, sometimes better yet. But those have limited distributors and tend to be quite a bit more expensive due to regulated sale channels. Don't they all accomplish the same thing, softening water? What makes one better than the other? Is the filtering feature worth looking into the Morton?
