  • Plug and play with my old Kenmore softener
Color: Gray Size: 40,000 Grain Softener
My water has never been this soft! I have a test kit to measure water softness. My old Kenmore water softener needed to be replaced, and before doing so my water measured 17 gpg for hardness (0–3 gpg is considered soft). With the new Kenmore softener, it now measures just 1 gpg. Installation was very easy—I didn’t even need to shut off the water. It connected directly to my old Kenmore adapter with the bypass in place. ... show more

  • Bad product and bad support.
Color: Gray Size: Hybrid Softener / Filtration System
I bought this Kenmore water softener in hoping to have an easy setup and good product to use for my family. I item shipped to me was defected. Installation was going good and simple however, the Venturi valve didn’t work, which allowed the water in the brine tank to rise and flooded my garage. I called amazon for support and didn’t help much. Now a had salt water all over my garage floor. ... show more

  • Useful!
Color: Gray Size: 40,000 Grain Softener
Got this for my grandfather, and he was able to set it up pretty easily. He enjoys the fact that the water coming out of the tank now is softer because here in the state we live in it is very hard water.

  • Kenmore water softener
Color: Gray Size: 32,000 Grain Softener
I have used Kenmore for over 10 years. Very reliable. Will be quick to install if you use your handyman or service provider. The $7 Costco 40lb salt bags will work just fine. Highly recommended.

  • Easy replacement for my older Kenmore
Color: Gray Size: 32,000 Grain Softener
This was an easy replacement for my 2008 series 300. The bypass valve is slightly different on the new one so I continue to use the old one to minimize re-piping. The new recharging system uses a longer brine fill and brine empty cycle than before but so far so good. Many of the wear parts are the same as the older unit - O-rings, valve disc, valve housing so repairs, if needed, will be as before. The display board has been updated to provide for more options however does not appear to be improved to protect against saltwater fume corrosion -- one of the reasons I needed to replace my older unit. The rectangular exterior shape has a slightly different footprint and lid opening is a bit smaller for adding salt but not a big deal. I have been using a similar design Kenmore water softener for over 40 years and will expect this new design to provide a similar service life and good quality softened water. ... show more
