Water softener question

I'm looking at getting a water softener installed and have been pricing out a few units.

Just wondering if anyone has this unit in their home?

GE Large Capacity 30,000 Grain Water Softener. model GXSF30H



Any problems with it, does it do a decent job?

any info is appreciated

 

I got the KrystalPure unit from Lowes. Moved to a new house in central Indiana and the water would leave stains after one day in the sinks, showers, water fountain on the fridge. I went about 3 months and seen my clothes getting faded big time. Had the KrystalPure unit installed and have been totally satisfied. Lowes gave me a 10% discount also (military)

 

I do not have that model but I have a "Fleck" brand. I installed a in-line filter before the water even gets to the softner. This might be overkill but the one that I have installed is a clear canister and it is amazing of what that thing catches. We have city water and it needs changed about every 3 months. Just remember that it is not a good idea to water your outside plants with soft water. I re-routed the outside spigots to have hard water. Good luck!

 

thanks for the info guys

 

How large is your house?
I sell water softeners here in phx, The GE units arent bad, but there are a lot of options out there! A 30k system would be for a house that has two baths and under 1500 sqft..

 

and there is only me and my wife.

i'm looking at the GE unit because of its price. i'm not looking to spend a fortune on a unit because i do not plan to live here for too long
