Water Softener Systems

Home :: Contact

The water softening industry is a major f*^%#$g rip off! My name is Kyle and I set up this blog about water softeners and their companies as my new year's resolution for 2014.

After my 3-year-old water softening system broke down for the second time, I decided to get something else. So this blog is based on the research I did while looking for a replacement. I tried a few ones marketed as saltless water softeners so I have some experience with those as well. The old softener I had cost $1,899. The salesperson talked me into buying it because apparently the $799 model is only good for a small house with "slightly" hard water. Sure, it did a good job for a while, but when you consider that the new water softener I bought recently cost me just 10% of that, I look pretty stupid for making that mistake. Especially since the new one works better than the old. I can't tell you the brand or model of the old system anymore. I made that mistake when I started the blog and then just 2 days later I got a pissed off email from the company threatening me with legal action. So much for freedom of speech but I'm not looking for trouble.

Based on my research and what people have been telling me since I started this blog, I list below the companies I looked into.
