[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, we have an EWS Spectrum and it was about $8K.  It will last 10 years and then the filter needs to be replaced.  It's amazing.  You need to get your water tested to see what the exact issues are and then have an experienced plumber install it.  Our plumber didn't know what he was doing and we had to get it fixed a year later but all is fine now.

You may also want to look into Culligan systems.  [/quote]

Good advice only if you have upwards of $8,000 to spend on decades old technology that shouldn't cost more than $1000 and the cost of a plumber for a few hours.  All you need is a water softener which utilizes ion exchange resin to remove the minerals and a brine tank that holds the salt and salt-water solution used to clean the resin bed automatically when the metered valve calls for it.  You want a 48,000 grain tank, with a metered, Clack valve.  That is the best system in the industry and can be had for about $750 plus installation.  You could also get a cartridge pre-filter to remove the chlorine from your water using activated carbon, or a tank of the same for just a little more.  That's it.

Or....pay some sales guy well over $1,000 to sell you some outdated Culligan system or a "saltless" EWS system that does not work.  There are no systems that remove all the hardness from you water that do not use salt.  There just isn't.  I'm sorry you were sold on that nonsense and you have to spend $8,000 + to replace it in 10 years??

Here is a random site I pulled up to show you the system.  I'm sure you can find this locally at any plumbing supply store, or just ask your plumber what it costs for him to sell it to you, installed

Same thing, $699  This is far better than what you will get from one of the water treatment sales organizations for many thousands more.
