RE: Water softeners

Pete - What were the symptoms of your trapped air in the system? Over
the y=
ears I've found I get a lot of air in the cold water supply in the house
(w=
e're on direct mains feed through the house). But I'm not sure if this is
d=
ue to the softener or something else in the system.

Cheers,

Paul.

Neil,

We've had a Kinetico 2020c for the last 2 years and can recommend it.  It
w=
orks well and does what it should (we're on Thames Water and have pretty
ha=
rd water), and I like the way it uses no power as it has twin chambers.
We installed a new shower at the same time and it is still fairly
spotless,=
so much so that I had dismantle the other shower and give it an acid bath =
to clean it up to get it to the same standard!

One thing we find is that their service calls are expensive - we had to
hav=
e it checked over because we were getting trapped air in the water system
(=
they still don't know why) and it cost about =A360 for the guy to come and
=
give it a once over, although it did fix the problem.  Another thing to
not=
e is that you can get ex rental ones at a fraction of the cost, if your
loc=
al installer does rentals.  Ours was about 60% of list price.
