I'm afraid to ask this, but i live in austin and I too bought into a rainsoft 
deal that I'm now second guessing bc of the price.   

I already knew I needed one because of our extremely hard water (could feel it 
in my hair, etc), but I was looking at the Kinetico's at first.  

See what you think:
We're getting the Amazon-Q system (computerized version), what they said was 8 
yrs of soap, plus an RO unit, 350lbs of salt, two extra water spouts on each 
side of the house that bypassing the softener plus an extra connection beside 
the sink for the RO unit.  All of this installed for $5500. 

After reading these newsgroups AFTERWARDS, it looks like I was screwed.  But 
maybe that's on par for Rainsoft???  They have to dig quite a bit and go under 
two sidewalks... if that makes a difference.

Any probs with these?  Comparison to the Kinetico's??

What about this Cancellation Guarentee ... isthat worth what they say??

THX!
