I have had a Culligan MGA94 (30K grain)water "conditioner" for appox 3
months. I went with the culligan because I was able to get them to
install the loop (difficult re-route for outside set-up) and a 3month
no obligation trial for a very minimal price.
When they came in they tested the hardness and it came out to be
about 15-17 Grains. We are 2 adults in a 2 bath home(we only use one
really) in Gilbert AZ.

The 3 month trail is about up and they monthly fee will go to 30+ a
month. I am looking to replace it (buy) but wonder...

The water really does not feel that "soft", I.I the slick feeling
normally associated with soft water isn't there. SOMETIMES you can
feel it a bit, but for the most part nothing feels different that
before. I have called culligan and they have assured me that the
water is either "soft" or its not, needless to say this did not seem
right.
Culligan asked us to use the "tester" they left us which consists of
a vial and some soapy liquid to shake up with the water and it does
"lather" better than when they came in.

Shouldn't we be "feeling" the softness? This just doesn't seem to be
there/seem right.

All that said, what are your thoughts on the all in one units
available a sears(Kenmore) any other suggestions( this we be outside
in the AZ heat.
Thanks for your input

Well I would say that the feeling you are looking for is the result of
over softened water.

Why did you get the softener in the first place? Has that problem been
resolved? If you can not identify a specific problem before you installed
the softener, then I suggest you don't need one. You don't put a softener
in to make water feel slick.
