Should I buy my own water softener instead of rent?

Question

I am thinking of buying a water softener for outside instead of renting the one out there now. Would a Sears brand be just as good as other brands? What should I be looking for with it?

Answer 1

Yes, buy one. The cost of the salt that you are paying now and what you can buy it for will pay for the unit over time.

Answer 2

If you're going to live where you're at for a while, buying is the way to go. I've owned mine for the past 35 years.

Sears sells very good water softeners.
