Rent vs Purchase
A water softener is a household appliance that you will use everyday. A water softener will pay for itself. A quality water softener with proper care will last 12-15 years.
-
Rental water softeners are typically used softeners recycled from one house to another.
-
Water treatment dealers love this as they keep making money on used, refurbished equipment.
-
Rentals typically come with a minimum 2 year contract.
-
Older softeners are not as efficient and may use more salt & more water.
-
There is no knowing what kind or water was going through the softener before you received it!
