Water Softener with a Combi boiler

Hi all
We live in a hard water and I was thinking of fitting a water softener. Our plumber suggested a Culligan Waterside MC 450 and said he could fit it so that we have soft water upstairs but downstairs only the hot water would be softened.
However on doing some research I have discovered that
a) reviews for this water softener are not very good
and
b) it might not be possible to fit a water softener with this type of boiler.
Any advice or suggestions please?
Thanks
Michelle

Hi
If you have or are considering a boiler with an aluminium heat exchanger this might be of use.
Plenty of water softeners out there to choose from.You might have noticed a thread on MSE with approx one million posts on it.(well lots at least)

You can have a water softener with any boiler, just make sure you shut it off and open the by-pass when filling the heating system if it is aluminium.0
