FWIW our water system also has a UV light that kills bacteria. The UV bulb has to be replaced annually and it’s like $130 or so every time.

Also it’s no small task keeping up with the salt. Takes like 6-8 40lb bags ($8/bag) every few months. But I suppose all those trips to the basement with a 40lb bag in each arm counts as a workout.
