If anyone has one they like or works installing them, please shoot me a PM. We have a lot of lime in our water and it clogs sprayers, leaves scale on stuff, ruins dishwashers and water heaters... looking for some advice on choosing a system. ... maybe a whole house filter of some other type?

I agree with WI Outdoors, call a professional. They can test your water and help determine what kind of system you will need.

I have a culligan system and it is great, but I don't think I would put one in today. They are just too expensive. It consists of a chlorinator, carbon filter, and softener. Mine was in the house when I bought it 25 years ago and it was 18 years old at that time. So its a 43 year old system. I have had it repacked once and have had to replace some valves and such but for it's age I can't complain. Last time I had a repairman out for it (probably 6 years ago) he said it would cost over 20k to replace it with the same system new. I would definitely go with a different brand rather than pay that price.

Yup....we have a Culligan self back washing system. We just have a big container we put

The blue bag salt in.

That's all I do...is check the salt level and add when needed

This system has been working for 31 years ..no problem.

Yup ..get a pro in there ...test the water and adjust from there.

It's cheaper than replacing the boiler... faucets...and appliances
