Oh nooo, not at all Andy. Firstly, it was a pity I wasn't aware about Kinetico's expansion into Europe then for it probably arrived into Belgium (where I had a farmhouse in the countryside for my weekends as a summer place as well) and got established to compete with Culligan which I wasn't aware of then after I had my Culligan installed in the wine-cellar basement.
I wasn't around when the Culligan man (technician) went about installing while I was abroad for almost 2,5 months holidaying but all went well since then. Our live-in maid knew more about the unit than I do as she was witness to it and received the instructions from the technician.
After reading yr input about Kinetico, I learnt more from their website and was much more interested in this alternative option as oppose to my dependence on Culligan. I'm in The Netherlands now and took along my Culligan.
As the new owner of the farmhouse I sold to, found it too large a capacity for his small family with two toddlers, 3 cats and 4 medium size dogs and 3 mid-range cars to cope with hence their much smaller softener from their previous rented home was adequate to let me keep mine instead. They didn't even want to take over my entire Daikin Inverter airco system for the whole farm... hence, the entire airco split systems had to be stripped out too... its too luxurious for that Belgian family needs. Electricity is expensive in Belgium being the reason.
Its not an issue for me to hop over the border and go fetch a new softener (if & when needed), thats a piece of cake but surely, will not anticipate importing from USA albeit by ship or plane... heck no, not when available and nearby this time. What interest me now is the fact about the softener rinsing another... that's what caught my attention and you missed out my question >>:
I want to know how your dependence is concerning the regeneration salt cyclus getting refilled and were you inclined to have any extra water filters, considered necessary to implement (subject to Ohio's water condition) to confront any higher inflow of chlorine, sediments and odor? Do you then with your Kinetico softener unit?
As the Kinetico is rather self reliant and offers more on its own unique qualities, do you have extra faucets and renewed filters like I need to have to further suppress the odor, the taste and whatever with your acquisition of the Kinetico Mach model? This is what I'm now keen to know. thanks.
