Style: Standard Water Softener


Features

  • No-Maintenance Ceramic: The patented ceramic disk control valve is abrasion and corrosion resistant, and is designed to last the entire life of the valve with no need for seals, spacers or piston rebuild kits.
  • Appliance Protection: System includes a prefilter for sediment reduction, while the water softener protects against hard water and eliminates scale buildup to extend the life of appliances like the water heater, washing machine, dishwasher, toilets and showerheads.
  • Automatic Control Valve: The metered softener measures your water usage and only regenerates when you actually need it. It also has built-in automatic bypassing during regeneration, and simple, easy to use programming.
  • Enhanced Cleaning: Notice brighter cleaner laundry, healthier smoother hair, and softer more moisturized skin. Soft water improves the effectiveness of soaps and detergents by removing calcium and magnesium minerals which bind to detergents and cause soap scum allowing you to use less soap for a better and more enjoyable cleaning experience.
  • The 48,000 grain softener is filled with 1.5 cubic foot of high quality 8% water softener resin and has a small footprint on the floor with a 10x59 main softener, and compact 13.5x32 salt tank.

  • No more hard water!
Size: 32,000 Grains Style: Compact Water Softener
We have well water that is of excellent quality across the board for iron, sulfur, mercury, bacteria, etc., EXCEPT for hardness where it literally measures off the chart (the test strip color was darker than the top of the scale at 425ppm). This hard water has made our laundry come out feeling "crunchy", caused our soap dispenser door in our dishwasher to repeatedly stick shut (thus not releasing dishwasher detergent), leaves white spots whenever I wash our cars, clogged up our coffee maker, yields pore tasting water for drinking and, of course, clogs up our shower heads and faucets. Now we have good tasting, soft water (somewhere between 0 and 25ppm, if not completely eliminated -- hard to tell with test strips) and we no longer need to regularly spend the extra money on all the water softening laundry and dishwasher products and bottled waters. Some reviewers state the instructions are hard to follow, or that they did not receive instructions on how to use the automated pump. The instructions I received were clearly laid out, with accompanying pictures, that walked me through the process to piece the system together; I had no issues at all. The instructions also included directions for programming the automated pump -- the only issue I had was regarding the initial start up of the system upon plugging it in the first time. The instructions stated I should see a specific code when first plugging it in, but there was no code displayed at all; I figured out I had to go to the menu and scroll down three times to show the code. Other than that, the entire setup process was very easy. The instructions also provided a schematic of how to plumb the softener into your home water supply. My setup was slightly different due to the orientation of the way I had to install the filter, so while the schematic is absolutely accurate you may need to tweak the layout a little bit based on your own system install orientation. I plumbed the system into existing household PVC pipes; PVC is very easy to work with and much simpler and quicker than plumbing into copper pipes. If you are not handy, I do not recommend you plumb the system yourself, but if you are handy, doing the plumbing yourself will save you several hundreds of dollars in labor costs. ... show more

  • Needs better boxing.
Size: 24,000 Grains Style: Compact Water Softener
Needs better boxing. Ordered this unit twice. 1st time the filter cartridge moved drastically in the box causing the faceplate of the controller to be broken off. Returned. 2nd time the same thing happened, faceplate broken off because the canister is poorly captured at the bottom and the controller is poorly buffered at the top inserted into the inverted salt tank. Once the faceplate falls down it gets battered by the canister moving around freely. I will tape it together and install but if it needs replacing in the future I will purchase a different unit. ... show more

  • Simple setup
Size: 48,000 Grains Style: Standard Water Softener
This system has easy to follow instructions and everything seems high quality. This is totally diy friendly but the instruction book doesn't dive in to explain everything in the control valve and I feel like if I encounter a weird behavior I'll have to contact the manufacturer or try to research what some code means because it's not in the instructions. I wish the brine tank had a bit sturdier plastic. The size is pretty average. It's my first time with a softener and I was surprised by the noise of the system but it may be just air trapped inside because the water was turned off. If not, since it's in my basement I'll have to consider extra sound proofing. It will have to regenerate every infrequently; so most of the time it will be quiet though. The screws for the prefilter are very easy to strip and I had to replace one. They all were slipping as they got tight and I had to be very careful not to strip them too much. ... show more

  • Works okay but not great
Size: 48,000 Grains Style: Standard Water Softener
I works okay with a few tweaks. Never could eliminate the saltwater entering my house after the regen cycle. I have to let the sink run for a few minutes to purge the lines. Super annoying.
