Any recommendations for whole-house Water Softeners?

[Great_scot_selfbuild]

We're in a (very) hard water location and need a water softener plumbed in at the plant room (kitchen tap and utility room sink will be unsoftened). We've done some research but interested to hear any recommendations (good and bad experiences).

 

TIA

No actual hands one experience but we're due to get the Monarch Master HE installed in ours. Recommendation from the plumber and the usual checks online and with ChatGPT seem to indicate that it's a good product that will stand up the daily demands of a high water usage household.
