I bought mine at the Costco by Cross Iron mills. They bring them into the store twice a year. I have been seeing them for 3 years now (Sunridge and Cross Iron Mills) and I am at Costco twice a month so I will post when I see them in stock.Originally posted by eblend
Did you buy online? Curious as the lady made reference to the fact that some stores may have them in the store but was having trouble finding any info.

Does someone here want to do a home install? I have a Kenmore unit.

Our Fleck water softener bought from Aquatell has been running well for the past year or so.
The thing is incredibly loud when 'recharging'. If you are a light sleeper / live in a small living space, you might want to look at something different. Fortunately, it is in the basement utility room and I sleep on the 2nd floor.
The odd night I happen to fall asleep on the couch downstairs when it is set to run - watch out..

What is Calgary's water hardness level? I've set my Whirlpool Softener on 12 but not sure if that's correct or not. The lady from 311 wasn't much help

Softeners have been around for ages... serve a genuine purpose to ensure that water does what its supposed to.
Kinetico just found a cleaver way to use 2 smaller thanks instead of one, using a meter that switches one to the other.
In actuality, the only real difference is, for "2 hours" once a week, in the middle of a night, you may get hard water into your system. A little bit of hard water for that maybe 1 gallon of water you flush cause your prostate woke you up to take a pee.

to me... because it can spike upwards in the winter months, to cover my bases, and to ensure that the tank gets a brine wash once a week, I set it to 18.Originally posted by yellowsnow

Yeah, mine is set to 16 or 18.
I think I regenerate every 1200 gallons or so. I've only ever heard my fleck once, but I was already awake at 2am.

If you find a place for a good price please post up a review after you get it done. I want to get one done for my place.

I just cleaned my AMP51 for the first time in umm. 3 years? It wasn't hard. (get it? hard? lol) Anyways, it really wasn't too bad. Had a bit of hard salt in the bottom, just broke it up with a screwdriver in 10 minutes, scooped it out, rinsed the whole thing out and then hooked it back up. Filled it with potassium and it's good to go.Originally posted by Sugarphreak
This is phase 1 of my plan:
Later on when I initiate phase 2, I am going to put a second water softener on the cold water that uses potassium chloride rather than sodium chloride.
I spliced into the primary cold water feed for the house. I did create a bypass for the outside taps, but I don't really care if I'm drinking softened water. No ill health effects have been reported that I know about for the minor increase in potassium for the amount of water from the tap that I drink.
