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.
