i would like to purchase a water softener and after a bit of research i
see that there are lots of choices. should i have my water tested and
then use that info to make a choice? we do not use a ton of water ( just
two of us) so i should probably make my choice based on that also..right?
thanks, cj

Yes on testing water hardness.

Step one is to test the water. Hardness is important, but other chemicals
can be a problem also. Reputable water treatment places will do a basic
test at no charge and make recommendations based on the results.
Personally, I'd avoid Culligan and the like as they are usually the highest
priced units available.

Look in the archives for this group and ask Gary Slusser for a
recommendation and he can even sell you one at a good price.

Thanks Ed.

Nope Oren, not retired, still working full time but shorter hours a
day by 2; only 9.5 hrs/day now. Still six days a week though and the
occasional customer call on Sunday or Christmas mornings. I have only
done internet water treatment sales and service since the end of Dec
2004. I shut down the well pump business mid 2005. Aug 2006 we bought
a motor home and moved into it in the driveway Oct 1 2006 and have
lived in it full time ever since. We sold everything in PA and 'moved'
to Texas; she even has the hat, so we are officially Texans. We have
been traveling around the country since Oct 5 2006 when the house and
everything we owned and not packed into the motor home was finally
sold. And business is still very good. I've sold 984 pieces of
equipment with a Clack valve on it in the last 48+ months and have had
only 22 problems.

We are currently in Livingston TX. Going to have about 650 watts of
solar panels put on the roof and 4 or 6 golf cart batteries
installed.and then we are heading for NM.
