We have been doing some research into water filtration systems for our new home and while I’m not yet certain what we will be getting, I am fairly sure that I don’t want to buy a GE made water softener unit.

I came across a forum where many consumers have had these units in their homes and after just a year or two have had many issues with them working properly and they have consequently had to spend tons of money on service calls and replacement parts for their units which have gone bad again in just another few years if even that long. They report that valves are sticking and have to be hand manipulated and lubricated which can be done by the owner, but I don’t want to have to fix something that should be working anyway! Especially when some of these systems cost over a thousand dollars.

Surely there is a company or brand who makes a reliable product that will last longer than a year or two for as much as these units cost?
