Shopping for a softener for my new house and am looking for recommendations
Grains per gallon: 20.5
Iron: 1 ppm
Well is a 1.5hp constant pressure Grundfos coming in on a 1.25" main
Main line through house is 1" PEX
Master bath has a party shower with 4 heads
Upstairs has 2 additional bathrooms (served by their own water heater)
Kids are aged 22&16, so water needs will be decreasing over the years as they (if they?) move out.
Been shopping online at the upflow (better efficiency = good, right? even though the up vs downflow thread suggests that might be minimal). Discount Water Softeners and Quality Water Treatment appear to have nearly identical systems with the same valve.
I've been looking in that 15-20 gpm range, which seems reasonable.
Suggestions on what to look for and/or what not to waste my time looking at & fretting over?
Thanks,
Dave
