Hi, I want to get a water softener for my combi system on a 3 bed house (without affecting the currently good flow rate and pressure). There seems to be a wide range of options (and prices!). I have seen the Kinetico 2020 which looks good but is twice the price of the Minimax and the Crown block system (which for all intents look the same unit). All three same to have very similar specs in fact. Then there are the electric models which are even cheaper.
Any help gratefully received as I'm now a bit stumped as to what to go for. Do they all use salt at the same rate? How often does resin have to be replaced?
Thanks.
Rich.
