I am trying to choose a water softener that minimizes the amount of salt I drain onto my property (I cannot put in a dry well, and I cannot drain the brine to the septic or a sewer). My well-water is very hard (11 grains per gallon) and basically no iron content. I plan to only soften the hot water line, since our showers are basically the only thing that we want softened water for.
Is there any difference between brands of water softeners when it comes to the amount of salt used to soften a given quantity of water? Are some water softener brands more "efficient" in their use of salt than others? If so, how would I identify those brands? Is it about the design of the tanks? The type of resin used? Do softeners get more efficient the larger they are?
Any recommendations on what equipment to buy would be much appreciated!
