I've been doing a lot of reading on this forum regarding water softeners and I am looking to install one myself in our house. We have 5 people in the house (2 adults and 3 children) and 3 full baths. The main water line in the house is 3/4". I purchased a Hach 5-B kit and our water tested out at 11gpg. Here is a link to the latest water test for our area. www.ilccr.com/stjacob.pdf Based on what I have been reading it looks like I would probably need a 1.5ft3 unit with a 10x54" tank and a control head with 3/4" fittings. Would a 5600SXT work or is it worthwhile to step up to a 5800SXT. What would you recommend for a water softener setup?
