I see commercials all the time for companies that sell water softening systems. Down here in Florida, one of the big companies is Southern Water. I've been slightly interested in this and have wondered how much they are, but dont really have time or any interest in a sales person coming to my home. I just want to know if its something I can afford or not. I'm sure its a monthly fee along with a one time installation charge, but I dont even know where to begin guessing. Can anyone tell me how much it costs to install these things and what kind of monthly costs are involved? Anyone that have one? Or even just a best estimate? Thanks.
