You should understand that devices like the Clearwave Electronic Conditioner do nothing to soften your water and little to nothing in the way of changing anything about your water so if you want to keep it place it anywhere and just forget about it.

You'll want to start off in the right direction and base your decisions based on fact so I guess the place to start is to ask you why you think soft water will be salty?

Regardless of your answer, the fact is that soft water is not salty. There is no salt added to hard water to make it soft. That is FACT

You should get a comprehensive water test done by an independent certified lab so you can KNOW what in the water needs to be treated.

You need tests for nitrates, bacteria, hardness, TDS, iron, manganese, PH, copper, chlorine, and arsenic just to start.

With those test results and knowing the # of people in the house, # of bathrooms, and if there's any appliances that use a lot of water (like a Jacuzzi) we can help you determine what equipment you need and how to size it correctly for your needs.

Thanks justalurker. I am in the process of having my water tested. I should know the results next week. Once I know more about my water I will return and give you the results.

Living on a well there's more of a learning curve than living on municipal water cause you have to make the water nice and SAFE.
