What are some tips for choosing a water-softener service?

Individuals interested in purchasing a water-softening service should consider how much water is used within the home and determine a water-softening tank that is appropriate for the water use. Consumers should also determine if they prefer a salt-free softener, dual-tank softener or a magnetic water softener.

Home owners must also determine the features they prefer for their unit such as timer controls that include electronic recharging of the unit and demand-initiated regeneration that senses when the resin needs to be recharged. A demand-initiated regeneration system may help to save costs and energy because the unit does not recharge unless absolutely necessary.
