Save your money !! Water is hard because it contains disolved calcium and magnesiun refered to in the industry as ions. There is no filter available to take them out because they are disolved. A water softener uses a process called ion exchange. In the softener is a mineral known as zeolite. It attracts the calcium and magnesiun ions and you have soft water. As you use yoursoft water you have to regenerate the softener. This is done with salt. The salt removes the calcium and magnesium ions from the zeolite and replaces them with sodium ions, hence the term "exchange". The remainder of the sodium with the calcium and magnesium is washed down the drain. Depending on hardness which can be measured with a test, a normal regeneration will use from 4 to 12 pounds of salt and will need to be done once or twice a week. If your pipes have a brown scale in them, that's not hardness, it's iron and needs to be removed with another machine that uses chlorine, greensand filter media and is regenerated with potassiun pemanganate. It is not recomended that you drink softened water. The harder the water was, the more laxitive it becomes. It also tastes flat.
