I bought a rainsoft system.  Yeah...he sold me after he did the hard water
test...and half the cup was "sediment".  So, we got a bunch of stuff free,
um...so called.  And still have a bunch of it after 3 years.  The system is
good...but, I feel we could have done the same with a less expensive system.
Normally I shop around, but this time I didn't.  I didn't want to drink
another cup of water, that I had for about 4 months prior...without dying,
until I had the system installed.

So, it's an investment...and expensive.  And just another choice among the
many to decide on.
