What is the best water softener for a one-person household?

 I have to bite the bullet, and buy a new water softener.  Is there a better
brand to buy, and what prices are we speaking of?  Should I rent, (i.e.,
Culligan, etc.)?  It's a one-person household.

Thanks in advance.

  It depends on your ability to maintain your own system. If your capable of
doing it yourself it will be cheaper, there's not really much to it. Sears
supplies decent models to purchase at around $800 - $1000 if you install it
yourself and Sta-Rite is a good brand. But if your not comfortable doing it
yourself then culligan is a good company to deal with. Either way you should
install a system that will support the amount of people that could live in
the house not just for one person.

I suggest any softener using the Clack WS-1, or the Fleck 7000. They are
non-proprietary, a DIYer's dream to repair if needed and parts can be bought
from any local or internet independent dealer. And they are less than what
someone says the Kenmore sells for. You can find them on the internet with a
google search. If you can do or learn how to do simple plumbing you can
install a softener yourself in a few hours. Buying over the internet will
save you hundreds of dollars and you get the best quality available.
