I very much appreciated the opportunity of visiting your home on Tuesday afternoon. I am pleased to be able to make recommendations as to the softening products most suited to your needs. The choice is between the highly advanced Hague 400 water softener and the Kinetico 2020c non-electric water softener.
The Hague Maximizer 400 is a very exciting new product from one of the world’s leading water treatment companies. This remarkable machine brings together the efficiency and high flow rates of non-electric machines with the ability to fine tune efficiency through the digital controller. The running costs are half that of the Kinetico, and the flow rate is higher, making this ideal for direct fed hot water systems with the high demands of modern showers etc. The Hague is unique in that it has a built in, self cleaning filter to protect from sediment in the water, and its build quality is second to none. This machine can use convenient block salt or tablet salt.
KINETICO’s are renowned for their performance and reliability and they will do the job with the minimum of attention. They are non electric, have no controls to worry about or adjust, although this does make them less salt efficient, and use the convenience of block salt. KINETICO’s water treatment engineering is in a class of its own. Its position in the industry was recently reaffirmed by being the ‘preferred’ softener to provide pre treatment to both of the world’s leading manufacturers in renal dialysis equipment. This is due to the minimum sodium levels involved and also the guarantee that no salt residues will be left in the resin cylinders after regeneration.
The costs break down as follows:
