Default Water softener systems

So. I'm fed up with scale everywhere. I'm thinking water softener.

I don't want to faff about filling it with salt every 5 minutes.

It's there an idiots guide somewhere which explains the different
systems?

This one for example seems to good to be true. Which probably means it's
total ********...

Can anyone with a system installed comment please?


We had one of those wonder magnetic electric coil things when we moved in.
Did bugger all to soften the water.

We now have a salt based water softener which does a proper job.

We have one which takes salt tablets, which involves buggering about with
a bag of tablets every few weeks.

The ones which take blocks of salt are a bit more expensive but they are
so much easier to keep topped up with salt.

In the last house we had phosphate dosing on the cold feed to the combi
boiler so I can't really comment on whole house water softening with a
phosphate doser.
