The Solution
Watre softeners come in a range of sizes and different brands. The two best brands to look for are Harvey & Kientico. Generally these are sold very exclsuively to few dealers in the UK. So if you are searching online you are likely to find large distributors offering old models and outdated brands such as Crown and Monarch. The latest technology is non-electric, twin tank systems and use block or tablet salt.
With most water softeners - you get what you pay for! A cheap price means a low grade ion exchange resin inside the machine. Low grade means it is not efficient at softening very hard water to the correct degree and simply wont last long. For that reason you will likely see short warranties of 0-12 months VS 10 years that is offered with Harvey and Kinetico twin tank designs.
