Have had this unit for about 2 mos. Very happy with the performance. Was able to fit it in a tight space. Would have given it 5 stars if it would tell me when it is going to recharge. I had that feature on a previous softener and felt it was good to know when recharge was going to happen. Being that it is set to recharge at 2am, I never know when it happens. Salt use is minimal so it is hard to visually tell. Very good product overall.
