I used to sell and rent water softeners to my customers, and also serviced them. I agree that Culligan is the most expensive way to get a softener. Before you get one put in, buy two test kits and test your water yourself for hardness and for iron. City water is usually soft but it can also be very hard. Just because your city water is clean and there are no solids that can be filtered out doesn't mean that there are no dissolved solids. Iron in the water will plug up the media, and cause low pressure in your house. Chlorine itself doesn't bother a softener, but chlorine will cause dissolved iron to drop out and plug the media. If you get one be sure that the controller is a Fleck. I tried a Kinetico water wheel control system softener once. The control kept plugging up. I had to take it out and put in a conventional timer based control. If your media tank is indeed plugged, it is most likely iron which can be cleaned out with "iron out" as Russ posted. A two tank system is not worth the extra money. Once the CA-MG ions are broken loose from the resin by the salt water, hard water will flush them away just as well as soft water.
