Don’t do it. If you really want to get one do this. Go to Lowe’s or Home Depot, buy one for about $500. You will also need another filter that willl cost you about $40. Now, if you can’t install it hire a plumber, he/she may charge you about $400-$750 depending where you live. Once installed buy the bags of salt about $4 each and in about 3 -5 days (depends on the size of your home) you will feel the effect of your new water system.

I installed mine myself and spent about $600. I had some people come buy with an offer of $8000. I’m happy with the one I have is a GE system. If you really want it, I suggest you do it this way.

Yes, and no you shouldn’t. Get one of those filters you put on a faucet instead. They’re just as effective.

Now, a water conditioner … that’s a whole other story. They will save you $1,000’s over the long term on plumbing that won’t go bad.

Geez, my family bought one of these about 10 years ago…Taking a shower with one of these bad boys is sweet. Plus they gave us like a 5 year supply of soap and shampoo and all that jazz. The price has gone up since then. Depending on your situation, if you can afford it go for it.

Let me save you $5,000 dollars and say no. Put the money into a CD instead.

A friend of mine was offered a system at almost $7,000. They kept lowering their price and he wound up paying $3000. He is pleased with the system he got. In these tough economic times, I would suggest haggling. Not many people shell out several grand at a time. They are probably desperate for sales.
