If it’s not one thing, it’s another.

When not fighting with the refrigerator, we seem to like to Duke it out with our hyper active water softner system. The Petwa system has run full tilt for as long as we’ve lived in this house. It uses far too much salt, runs too much, and now it seems it has developed a blockage and likes to dump 10 or more litres of salty brine water onto my basement floor every other day. Much to my displeasure. Was about town today trying to locate an open & reputable repair service that I can get to come in and give it a once over. Might take a few days. Sounds like it’s a popular item to have develope a fault in it. Onwards we go. Now I need to call around to find out what a reasonable price is for service/repair or replacement. So far looks like $1,700 – $2,000 for install, taxes, and a new system. Gah.
