Anyone here have a system installed in your house, looking for some general info, cost to install maintenance. Type etc.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

Had a carbon tank (PH neutralizer) and softener system put in. Install was from a small local company and ran into the multiple thousands of dollars. As far as maintenance, I just put a couple bags of potassium in every six months or so... Its a price worth paying to keep your applicances and showers from looking like crap.

Of note, the plumbing to a previous radon-in-water netralizer was already there, so that undoubtedly saved me some $$ on the install.

I've got one of these (link below) under my kitchen sink, change the filter when wife commands (3-4x per year). Works great, filters are cheap and easy to replace, < 1/2 hr for plumber to install.

Doesn't the system depend upon how bad the water is? Have you had an analysis done?
