Hi everyone,
I recently installed a GE self-contained 30,000 grain water softener. I am on a well I tested my water “straight” and it came back with 6.43 Grains Per Gallon hard with .03 ppm of iron. I have a filter pre-softener I replace every two weeks. I am curious if anyone has experience with this system, longevity, performance, etc. Local companies wanted well over a grand for a unit while I like supporting the economy I couldn’t afford it; this total cost was under five hundred installed DIY. So far, the water is insanely better. This is my first softener so any advice, preventative maintenance I am game to hear. Thanks
