I had one installed in 1994. I have a lot of iron and manganese. It did
not last me 20 years. The problem with the major brands is they are
proprietary and require you to go to the "authorized" dealer for parts
and service at steep prices. I opted for a non proprietary system and
installed it myself for about 1/3 the cost. Works great, zero problems.
I don't remember the company or the brand of the unit but you might
consider searching the web.
