Do I really need my Rainsoft acid tank serviced?
I have a rainsoft softener system with an acid tank. The softening tank is guaranteed for life, no questions asked which is what I like about the whole system. But the acid tank needs servicing. I was told that the acid tank needs to be serviced once a year. I just had it serviced today. I watched the guy as he was doing the work. All I saw him do was unscrew the access port and pour some more media into the tank. There was a $179.00 service charge for this. After searching the internet I believe what is in the tank is called “Azimute.” Isn’t there a way I can add this myself? It seems like a large price to pay just to have someone do something that I can do myself. Is there somewhere I can buy this stuff and put it in myself?
