Do I need water filter system.....help.....?

Question

Location: Central valley, near Stockton California.

One of those marketing guys came to my home and offered me to check my home water quality. After everything is done he told me I have water with high mineral content (hard water). He offered to install a new 'Kinetico' water filtration system for the whole house for total cost of $4500/-

Now I want to have a new water filtering system but I have some questions:

- Is this a good price for this system or he is ripping me off?

- What other systems are available?

- Any other thoughts?

Please help!!!!! and get the blessing from whole family :-)

Answer 1

he riped you of even with filtration you will still have hard watter

Answer 2

No, you don't need to buy this.  Salespeople who "test" your water invariably say you need to buy something.  It's a rip-off.
