Water Softener

A couple weeks ago we had to replace our hot water heater, today it was the water softener!  Our water pressure had become almost non-existent.  The kids were taking showers with water dribbling out of the shower head!

So Jim did some research and found that after 6 to 10 years, the water softeners get clogged filters and need to be replaced.  The filters can not be accessed so you have to replace the whole thing. So we spent our morning putting in a new one and transferring all the salt we just put in the old one into the new one.

So in the last month we spent about $1200 to make sure we have hot, soft water!
