I went with my local plumber (lives in Gilbert) and he installed the water softner that is manufactured and warranted by a company in Mesa.  This way, if there is any problem with the unit, he is familiar with it and can get parts quickly.  Had it installed about t and a half years ago and have not had a problem with the unit which is the way it should be.  Just keep feeding it salt.

When I moved into my house in Arizona it didn't have a water softener or a reverse osmosis system. I researched systems and
decided on a Fleck 5600.  Its been great so far.  Whatever you do don't get those cheapie all-in-one softners like from Sams Club or some of the
home stores.  Get a meter demand softener that times its cycling based upon your water quality and your water usage.

The irony is you can get a good system online for only a couple hundred bucks or so more than the cheapies. Plus you can install it yourself easily
or have it installed very resonably assuming your house has a soft water loop. This is the system I bought- a 32,000 grain Fleck 5600SXT.

Do you have the name of the mfg or plumber? I always try to support local businesses when possible.
