The MAX Orange Line will open on schedule on Saturday, Sept. 12, 2015, and while construction is 95 percent complete, the federal funding process continues through 2019. Until the federal appropriations process is complete, the project will continue to incur costs, which is why the savings is given as a range.
The most common household form of water softeners are ion-exchanging resin devices. There are three main types of water softeners, categorized based on what salt they use: sodium, potassium, or hydrogen. These water softeners have a bed of resin that water is passed through. The resin is negatively-charged, and so binds to the positively charged metal ions in the hard water.
After reading this forum, I understand that I've overlooked the first step in my search for a water softener: a water analysis. I'll get one done, if I can convince my husband. Moving on from there, I already have estimates from three companies selling Kinetico, Ecowater and Culligan water softeners. Each local retailer has a long history of service in the area, at least 20+ years.
