Softener Replacement
Hi there, Our water softener recently failed and we had a plumbing company come out to quote us on a new one with install at $3K cdn. I did some Googling and it appears that replacing a softener is a fairly easy job if you know how to solder. My roommate is an HVAC tech with general construction knowledge, so we were thinking of tackling it together. The problem is, we don't know how hard our water is or the readings; all we got from the plumbing company is that we have a lot of iron and calcium in our well water. I could ask to see the water report if that helps. We were quoted on replacing the softener with an AWP50EB-FM water softener with this spec sheet. We saw a softener model RHS42 with this spec sheet on sale at Home Depot, and I'm wondering if that would work, or if we should be looking for a different model, if there are any other components that we need, other than disconnecting the old one and hooking up the new one, and any general softener or installation advice. Thanks, submitted by /u/Scorge120 [link] [comments]
