Got ours at Sears must be at least ten years ago, no trouble with it yet.

 

Kenmore and Morton are ones I install on a regular basis. Haven't seen any issues with them in the 18 years I have been a plumber. Best thing to do is take a water sample with you when you go shopping so they can set you up with the proper size. They all seem to have gone to a 1" adapter versus the old ones that had 3/4" so be prepared to do some soldering.

 

I like my Water Boss...(made in Ohio)

 

I've had a Home Depot purchased GE softener for going on 13 years. No issues with it, still keeps chugging along.

 

The one complaint about water boss is the cheap water connections they use.

 

I'm more of a fleck guy or at least something non-big box store. You can order with whatever size fittings you need.

Thanks guys.
I got to get something. Haven't made up my mind yet.

That softner is probably made in the same place as most. It seams to be a common thing these days. All in one plant with a different name on it. Like most things it comes down to manufacture support. I have had great luck with Morton as I got mine out of a house I was remodeling and they sent me all the install pieces as the install pieces got disposed of before I got to it

 

I have a Kenmore from sears. Going strong after 6 years.

 

Picked up a Morton, anybody want to show me how to hook it up!

Just connect all the pipes. And the drain. And plug it in. Boom.
