Hi there am looking to install, or have installed a water softener. Fairly hard water where I live and my daughters are struggling a little bit now with a dry skin. Can anyone recommend best ones to have either for me to do myself (quite competent around plumbing) or to have installed. Thanks for your time, Andy

There are a number of threads here, do a search and you will get much information. But in essence think of a water softener as a long term (20+ year investment), go for the best that you can afford - twin cylinder (non electric) and block salt are the bees knees!
 
Get an Ion-exchange water softener, stay away from Kinetico as they are too expensive and not that reliable.
 
On the contrary, my Kinetico has been working reliably and giving me soft water, both here and in France for 20 years
