Re: [RFI] Fwd: Water treatment system RFI?

[Pete Smith N4ZR <pete.n4zr@gmail.com>]

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.
