We bought this unit as a new install in our new home approx. 5 years ago. In those 5 years we have experianced 3 different componet failures resulting in 3 major water leaks, two of which caused water / mold damage to our new home!
The water quality was always suspect at best and the system used excessive amounts of salt...
After the third failure, we gladly had this unit removed to the dump and have since replaced it with a far superior product NOT made by Kenmore!
