[RFI] Fwd: Water treatment system RFI?

I have lived with wells and water treatment systems since 1995, and have 
never traced any RFI to them.  In that time, I had a WaterBoss (for 20 
years) and a Whirlpool for the last 5+ years.  Both were/are digital, so 
far as the timer is concerned.  It's important to remember that they are 
only really active during the recharge cycle - in the case of my current 
Whirlpool, that's 2 hrs 45 minutes  every 3-4 days.

  It sounds like you're being hustled - Both units I've had are 
self-contained, and were both simple to install and trouble-free.  The 
biggest WaterBoss - for the hardest water - is only $505 and Home Depot 
offers free shipping to your home.

Im new to well water treatment systems so I’m not sure if there’s any disadvantage to the tank replacement vs total system upgrade.
