Okay, new to me in a conversation with someone here in LV. I am having a new TH built, purchased and taking possession next week, as a rental. City water, ~15/16 grains of hardness I was over at the property and was approached by a water softener company about their products and services. As I am in the market now for another water softener, I listened. He pitched to options:
1. Softener only, 1 cu ft system as property is small, ~1,350 sp ft, 3 br --- i was good with that.
2. Hybrid, one tank with 1 cu ft resin + coconut carbon resin for clorine removal. i know these exist, I have never done a one tank/valve system, i have done two tanks/valves for each media (I have two today, one Clack valve/tank setup and other Fleck 5810 valve/tank -- resin/carbon in each tank, respectively).
3. Then, he said his systems use 16% cross linked resin. I have never heard of 16% before, but rather 8 or 10%.
2 questions:
1. 16% cross linked resin??
2. Comments/opinions on going with a hybrid system, pros/cons (I assume less expensive with less parts/labor, but what about performance and maintenance down road?
Can anyone on here comment?
Thanks in advance!!!!
