Who has a water softener that works?

Question

We need a whole house softener that A) Works B) Isn't a million dollars and C) Isn't sold by an evil company

Answer 1

We just moved into a home that still has well water as our only supply.  This water happens to be heavy in iron.  We had to have an efficient water softener and went to Sears and bought a Kenmore.  It works great.

Answer 2

I have a "water right" softener that works well

A salesman tried to get me to buy a rainsoft one which seemed to work great but it is very expensive $4000 if I remember right and they seem to be into the high pressure sales thing.
