I am preparing to buy my house a water softener. I am at a total loss as to what I should get. Do I go with the expensive "service" companies like Kinetico or Culligan? Or do I get a brand sold in one of our local plumbing supply places or a Sears/Lowes/Home Depot special? I have hard water (around 8-10 gpg) that also has iron in it that has been treated with "Iron Mag" by the water department. The iron comes out of solution when we're in the jacuzzi tub and leaves a lovely bathtub ring. Therefore I would ideally like both problems -hardness and iron- treated. A few other questions - how do I decide how 'big' of a softener to get? We are a 4 person, 2 dog household, with a soda fountain to satisfy my Diet Coke addiction. We have a household in-line carbon water filter already, should we keep it and if we do, does it go before or after the water softener? Thanks so much!!! Christine
