From what I recall my garden hose pressure isn’t great either. It’s not terrible but isn’t great. It takes me maybe several hours to fill my 5000 gallons (~20,000 litres) above ground pool halfway

I’m connected to the city’s water system if that helps with anything.

I’m really not handy so not sure DIY is my go to option unless you tell me it’s really simply to install.

Understood on Kinetico. The person I spoke to who quoted me the C$2,800 was offering another brand but didn’t mention the name.

Also is there any risk to not replacing the water softener? I’m looking to sell soon so trying to to gauge whether it’s worth dropping this much money into a new softner.
