K mart had a in line filter that took of of three different filters.I was on city water and used the finest filter(charcoal).It cost 5 bucks and would be plugged every 30 day.I figured 5 bucks a month was fair.Suppose to put medium filter in line and charcoal under the kitchen sink.
If you are looking for a water softener, I have not found found a good one yet. I have had two “Sears” types and had problems with the regeneration system on both of them. You have to learn to deal with their regeneration systems if you buy one of them because it would be extremely expensive to call a repair man every time the regen system needs to be cleaned.
I have also had more complex problems with them that I won’t detail at this time.
I thought the “Water Boss” was the solution but in doing research for this answer I found something on another site that suggested that a part in the regeneration system galls, and if it galls, repair may cost more than a new system.
I checked the regen system of “Morton” softeners, and it is exactly the same as the Sears.
Culligan costs an arm and a leg but if you want soft water at any price they will at least maintain their rental equipment. Culligan has several competitors also that I cannot remember off the top of my head. They could possibly be cheaper than Sears if you called a repair man every time it didn’t work instead of figuring out how to do it yourself.
There are also many other devices for water treatment. Filters, activated carbon filters, iron removal devices, Reverse Osmosis filtration, etc.
it all depends on what kind of water you have… if you are on city water, get the details from the city on the chemicals in the water and find filters accordingly, If you are on a well, have the water tested for its chemical content. Word of advice, if you are on a septic tank and drain-field, reverse osmosis and some filtration devices shorten the life of the drain-field because of water output and chemicals.
Lenandjoe have a system they recommend that would probably be very good…..
