Water Softener Comparison
This water softener comparison chart was compiled from information gathered by customers, comments from shoppers, and documentation of actual instances that have occurred. You should always compare prices, warranties and equipment quality. We strongly urge you to contact each company listed here for their own opinion. We recommend you NEVER let a company that sells water equipment test your water. You should get an INDEPENDENT test from a laboratory , health department, local university or your municipal water provider. We find the overwhelming majority of water testing performed by the companies below to be inaccurate. We would also caution you to NEVER buy on the first night from an in-home sales company no matter how many free soaps or gimmicks that they offer you.We hope that our water softener comparison gives you some idea as to who you should buy your water treatment equipment through and who should test your water.Check out our chart to see water softener ratings.
