I've had a few of the smaller console Water Boss units in a couple of homes. They do a good job and use very little salt. Maybe a bag every two months for a household with four people. They're pretty easy to install yourself if you're at all handy. Water Boss softener

Good link for iron removal lots of snake oil sales in home water treatment, so be wary. Usually area-specific iron problems, your local water treatment operators at your local city's are a good resource for information, and know which treatment system works. A good lab can test your water and from that, you can decide what system works best by test results. I would use an independent lab, not one that is trying to sell you a water treatment system. http://wellwaterguide.net/iron-well-water.aspx

Instead of making people like this Master Magnetics rich bop down to your local farm store and pick up a pair of aforementioned cow magnets. Get another pair for your vehicle. Guaranteed to raise your mileage at least 50%. But be careful, I combined this with other milage improving technologies such as water injection and added up to over 100% improvement. Got in trouble for gasoline running out the tank and polluting as I drove.

There's places around Fairbanks that have craploads of iron in the water and softening systems have to be regenerated every few days.
Why are you asking a Softener to do a filters job? Misapplication. The iron is dissolved. A filter won't do schitt. You couldn't be more wrong........

Where do you think salt comes from? Outer space?
Ours comes from evaporation plants around the Great Salt Lake, and when it gets flushed through our softener systems, it drains back to...Great Salt Lake. Yes but first, it go's through your septic system if you have one, and it screws up your concrete septic tank and concrete distribution box. So if one must use salt it is best to have poly tank and box, otherwise expect to replace both tank and box as the salt destroys them pretty quick. Where in the hell do you people come up with this mis-information?

Got in trouble for gasoline running out the tank and polluting as I drove. My grandpa put cow magnets on his Cadillac during the seventies. He drive around telling people how much better his mileage was with the magnets on his gas lines. One day he took it in for a service and afterwards the mechanic said everything checked out except for the cow magnets he found strapped to the brake lines. Bb

Now that is funny! Was quite the fad in the day and there were true believers.
