Water has always been a bit hard, then over the last 3 months it started to smell like sulfer. Finally decided to get it squared away with a water softener and aeration filter. Some added features are leak detection/auto shut off both of which can be monitored from my phone.
I won't lie, it's pretty fun to see water usage in real time and see all sorts of other data. In case anyone cares here's the info: Drop Pro Water Softener S-48 Drop Pro Single Tank Aeration Filter I-25 Want specifics, just ask, it's a lot to type on my phone. Anyone familiar with this brand?  App:

Our water is too soft. Is there a system that can correct that?
How much did your system cost? Did you do the install or was it turn key? |

Looks expensive. Did you test your water before and after? Location, well, city water? What made you go with this system? Why not go with a traditional water softener

No, a local dad and son (authorized dealer) company installed, walked me through it, set it all up. Comes with a 5 year warranty. |

Went with this system because i trusted the dealer because he was a referral from a knowledgeable friend. |

I’ve seen way higher than 11 for hardness. The number after should be 0 after installation as you should be able to set your system to offset the incoming hard water |

I don't really care about monitoring with an app so my basic single tank aerator with carbon was well worth the money spent on it. I think it was just over 600 bucks. Already had a Kinetico twin tank system. It came with the house or I would have definitely not gone Kinetico due to their parts and repair policies.

No, it requires salt, but has a monitor to tell me to refill it. |

The company I work for recommends using the small grain brands of salt like solar salt vs the big tablets. I would use whatever your installer recommended to avoid a salt bridge |

Either way, I had them leave me an empty bag so I get the same thing. |
