My wife is pushing for one of these very expensive home water treatment/filtration systems, but it all feels like a scam to me. No one I know has one, so turning to random strangers on the internet for opinions.
Edit: We’re on city water in a decent area. No well water. It’s more about removing the chlorine and microplastics than anything.
We have a salt water system, came with the house, system was about 2k in today’s dollars. buy like $15 of salt every quarter, works great and saves the plumbing
Does your water taste salty?
I’m confused by this idea
Actually no, not enough salt gets in the system to make it taste salty, we have really hard water where I live (lots of minerals in the water). The salt helps as a filter and helps remove those mineral. Helps the plumbing as well as hard water corrodes fixtures and valves a lot faster
