I have my own well. and me and my wife. 2 bath rooms. well 11 gal a minute. wanted to go kinetico . what do you think it will cost and what do you think would work in this situation. hope you can help thanks

I'm exploring all my options here - I know I won't be installing any softener myself so I gave my plumber a call. I have "a connection" to this company thru work so I should get some decent pricing for any labor and any equipment I order thru them. They use Aqua-pure softeners made by Cuno. (It's hard to search on this forum for "aqua and/or pure" because tons of non-related posts come up) From what I could fine online, they appear to be similar to other softener systems you can buy online - standard parts built together with the heart of the systme being the Fleck, Autotrol or maybe Clack valves. Can you guys confirm this or give me any other pertinent info? I'm not deadset on buying equipment or anything from them. I would probably use them for the labor to install if I buy something else from somewhere else. I might still go w/ Kinetico or someone who does their own installs - like I said, I'm just keeping my options right now trying to figure out exactly what I want/need. thanks
