Ecco la questione che vogliamo affrontare insieme: clicca su ogni paragrafo per aggiungere il tuo contributo votabile

Context

We are considering installing (or replacing) a central water softener to reduce limescale on pipes and shared equipment (booster pump, heat exchangers, central plant), lower breakdown risk, and improve efficiency. Quotes differ in sizing assumptions, regeneration approach, salt management, monitoring, and maintenance coverage.

This is not only a price decision: it’s about reliability, annual running costs, service response time, and avoiding undersizing. This proposal showcases Concorder by combining ranking on quotes, a multi-select vote on non-negotiable requirements, and a date-range vote for the works window (because water interruptions are operationally important).

What we’re deciding

  • Which softener option to approve
  • Which requirements must be mandatory (quality checks, SLA, transparency)
  • Which works window is most compatible (minimising disruption)

How to participate

Rank the options, select the mandatory requirements, then choose all works windows that work for you. In comments: describe current issues (scale, breakdowns, pressure) and whether you prefer full-service maintenance or more internal handling.
