I apologize, I know you probably get hundreds of these...but rather than trying to tag along on someone else's post I will post yet another...
I have a 50's home with almost completely replaced piping. It is about 90% CPVC now with a 50 gal Rheem water heater tank. There is a small kitchen, two bathrooms and 4 adult occupants. We are getting hard water stains on our fixtures. I wish to mainly get rid of these deposits. I would prefer to not go with a salt system if possible but will fold on that if there is no other effective courses of action.
I have recently been looking at the reviews on Watts Premier OFPSY and iSpring ED2000. I know they are not softners per se but if conditioners can do what I need then I would like the reduced maintenance.
If any other info is needed please ask.
Got my test results today...It was the NTL Lite version.
