I have used Allied Clearwater and found them to be very good. However, I really wonder about all the salt I use over the course of the year (I figure it is between 6-8 40lb bags for 8 months of use.) It seems that every year we need to get the system adjusted and check, which I am OK with but the spotting on water glasses is persistent. Plus, when we are away for the winter, we put out tubs of water to try to keep the house from drying out too much and when we return in March, the amount of dry residual at the bottom of the tubs really make us think - are we drinking all this stuff?
Curious of what others think about non salt water softening solutions.
