Hey all!
Noob here. I was thinking about getting a water softener. My co-worker bought a Westinghouse Progressive Revolution a few years back, and he's pretty happy with it. But from my limited research, they're REALLY expensive, and, well, I can't really find any info on the web about them. I mean, I know who Westinghouse WAS, and have a half-decent idea on who they are today, but there isn't a lot about their water systems. At least that I can find.
I was at a local home show a few weeks back, and Westinghouse and Kinetico were both there. Any thoughts? Looking on the boards here, it looks like the consensus on Kinetico is "works well, but pricey and you're at the mercy of the dealer for parts and service." Oh, and for reference, my water hardness is somewhere North of 10. The Westinghouse guy did a test that had it around 18, but I bought a testing kit at Home Depot to try it myself.
Thanks!
