I'm new here, though I've been lurking for a while. I'm looking for a new water softener. I've done some research and I have decided on what I'd like. I plan to install it myself.
My municipally-supplied water has a total hardness of 16 gpg (Hach 5-EP) and a pH of 7.5. Negligible iron. 400 gpd usage. I have a whole-house sediment filter and a reverse osmosis system.
However, I'm finding it difficult to find what I want. Can anyone recommend a seller? For a relatively simple and common product, I'm surprised that it is so difficult to find sellers with comprehensive and flexible offerings. Plus, there is so much marketing BS. Many sellers seem to slap their own sticker and brand on a system built from common components and then proclaim that it is somehow different or special.
Here's what I'd like: Fleck 5810 valve with xtr2 controller (part 581008-001), 12x52 or 13x54 resin tank, 10% crosslinked resin. I'm interested in quality parts for the "minor" components, such as the screens, riser tube, brine tank and its components, etc.
Thanks for your help.
