Hello all, I am trying to figure out which water softener to get and could use some help.
I contacted 2 local companies both got great reviews but I am wondering if I should just buy something at Home Depot or Sears instead. They both claim that there softeners are made locally.
I have a 1300 Square foot house with 2 adults and a kid. We live in Phoenix, Arizona (tempe) where the water is very hard
Which would you choose? Would you get any more specs? Or ask any other questions?
The fist company is Clear Water Concepts: http://clearwaterarizona.com/products/water-softeners/
and they quoted me this
Olympus Water Softener System:
* Clack 1" fully ported electronic on-demand control valve. (6 cycle - fully programmable).
* 48,000 grains commercial grade high cross-link resin. (greater chlorine oxidation resistance).
* Ecoflow technology (uses 30% less water during backwash, provides greater lift to resin bed, eliminates water channeling, provides cleaner resin).
* Soft water regeneration (cleaner, more efficient resin bed).
* Non-Volatile memory (set-n-forget).
* Dry brining (eliminates salt bridges, caking).
* NSF44/WQA validated components.
* Made in USA.
* 10 year part warranty and 5 year labor.
Equipment: 1039.00
Installation: 200.00 (to existing loop).
The Second is America Home Water and Air has 2 options The President or the Patriot
With a lot less tech specs

uses the clack high flow valve. It has the best resin available for any water softener on the market. This valve has many years of reliable service and is the most serviceable valve we have found. This is our top of the line unit. The PRESIDENT is manufactured in Arizona and designed to last 20 to 30 years in Arizona's harsh water environment.
The Patriot 48000 GR
· two piece design for maximum durability
· Demand initiated regeneration saves up to 50% on salt or potassium
· Various sized brine tanks available to fit in tight spots when needed
· One piece corrosion resistant valve body; ¾" - 1 - 1 ¼" inlet available
· 5 year parts and labor warranty
· $1,290
· $190 install
This is as good a water system as you can buy as it is designed with all the highest quality components we have found all of which make this unit maintenance free. The system uses the Fleck 5600 Economider head The PATRIOT uses the highest quality resin available, plus all the components used in this water softener have many years of proven reliability.
We have designed this system to have a life expectancy of 25 to 30 years.
