FYI, I live in Round Rock, where both hard water and chlorine are a big problem. I went with Choice Water Conditioning and got a good softener AND whole-house carbon filter for under $2k. it has worked great for the year I've had it and they bring me salt when I run out :) $5500 is so overkill it's amazing when all you're trying to do is soften your water. Not unlike the yahoo salesmen who try to sell you a $2000 vacuum cleaner... -- Jason
