Hey Culligan Man!

Jim, my Culligan Man came over tonight for a free water test. I know I have hard water, I just didn't know how bad. It tested out at 20 grains which is off the chart I guess. If I want soft water, I can buy a water softener for $3200 or I can rent one for $24.95 a month. I can live without it, but my concern is damage to my plumbing over time.

So, water softener or no water softener?
