Description

The Whirlpool WHES40E 40, 000 grain water softener is ideal for families of 1-6+ people looking for a reliable way to soften their water. It eliminates embarrassing mineral stains, uses less detergent in the wash for cleaner, brighter and softer fabrics, and helps your water-using appliances last longer by allowing them to run more efficiently. Soft water also helps to keep your hair and skin feel healthy and soft. Whirlpool water softeners employ demand initiated regeneration meaning the system will only regenerate based on your hardness level and how much water you actually use, this results in significant salt and water savings. It will not waste water by regenerating (like competitor models) while you are on vacation and you will not run out of soft water if you use more water than usual. Whirlpool water softeners also come with simple to program electronics and include a low salt indicator light and work on city water or well water. Over time, water softeners also keep your water using appliances (water heaters, dishwashers, washing machines, etc. ) working efficiently, last longer and save energy. All Whirlpool water softeners come standard with a 1-year manufacturers parts and labor , 3-year limited electronics , and 10-year limited on the tanks. The full parts and labor can be extended to 2 years with the purchase of 3 bottles of Whirlpool WHEWSC water softener cleanser within the first year of ownership (sold separately). All systems include installation kit, bypass valve and come ready to connect to 1 inch male pipe thread. Questions? Call the helpline at (866) 986-3223. High flow valve connects to plumbing up to 1 ¼” in diameter. Note: Due to variances in production and assembly, the water softener valve height may vary by up to 1/2" from an existing water treatment system, including existing Whirlpool models. High-flow valve maintains great water pressure (connects to up to 1” plumbing). This potential change in valve height will not affect system performance. PRODUCT DESIGN MAY VARY.

  • Easy install, great unit
Pattern Name: Softener
Arrived with a little housing damage inside the salt reservoir, but no effect on functioning. The shipping box was pristine, so probably from the manufacturer. Good step by step instructions for installation. No surprises. The resin pack in my old unit was shot, and would burn through salt pretty fast. This unit is salt frugal, and the water stays quite comfortable between regeneration cycles. After a few months of use, I give it two thumbs up! ... show more

  • Good replacement softener
Pattern Name: Softener
We read many reviews on replacement softeners and this Whirlpool unit kept coming up. It is perfect for our needs retired and just the two of us. The unit came packed very well with no damage this was a concern after reading reviews. Installed unit ourselves and it was very easy to do. Programming was also very easy. Unit has been operational for about two weeks and is functioning very well. The light in the salt tank is really nice to have. We replaced our Northstar 10 year old unit with this one. For the price and capabilities this unit fits our needs perfect. ... show more

  • Great replacement for Kenmore & easy to install
Pattern Name: Softener
I bought this to replace a 17 year old Kenmore water softener that finally bit the dust. I shopped around for a long time, reading reviews, calling local water companies, etc. The water companies wanted from $2100 to over $7000 to install water softener and all the other do-dads they said were needed. I finally settle on the Whirlpool beucase 1) it was highly rated in reviews 2) It was fairly cheap, less than $700 3) It was an exact match as far as water connections as my old Kenmore (41.5" off floor and 3.75" center to center of input/output pipes so I could use my old connection to house water. Called plumbers and most wanted $100 to come out and give install quote and one would do install for $400. Decided to do it myself. On a scale of 1-10 the install was a 9. I had a bit of a problem connecting the bypass valve to the new water softener but only because I was not connecting them correctly -- got sprayed a couple time when I turned on water. When I took a closer look at how the connection was supposed to work everything worked just fine -- no leaks. Even with the problems it only took a couple hours, without the problems maybe 30 minutes. Only suggestion s to throw out the water discharge hose that comes with the softener. It's way to brittle and trying t get it to bend at all just results in the hose kinking and no water being able to get thru. Go to HomeDepot or Lowes and buy 25' of more flexible 1/2" hose and use that instead. The hose I used on my old softener lasted 17 years and cost about $5.00. ... show more

  • Great softener, horrible packaging
Pattern Name: Softener
Bought this softener after reading many reviews and wanting an all in one softener without the seperate brine tank to save floor space to replace our old one. At the same time I was concerned about receiving a damaged unit and having to deal with the return of it. Well, took a chance, even paid the extra amount to have Amazon bring it inside the house hoping it would reduce the risk of getting a broken softener. Amazon delivery was pretty good, although the box came laying on its side inside the truck and the box looked a bit beat up. After opening the box, the top lid was cracked pretty good, one of the tabs around the resin tank was cracked, and the electronic display panel was knocked out of it's mount. This thing took a beating before even being delivered. There was absolutely no, none, zero packaging inside the box around the softener. Worst packaging I have ever seen, especially on an item that costs this much. Horrible packaging on Whirlpools part, this needs to be addressed. As some suggest, buy locally if you can. At least you can see what you are getting before delivery or installation. In the end, I decided to see if it would work and was able to pop the display panel back into place. As far as the softener itself goes, it works great. Noticed the difference within the first several days. Installation was easy and took very little time, programming was easy, and there were no leaks. Already ran its first regeneration cycle and thank goodness, everything seems to be operating as it should. Knocked off the one star for packaging and being damaged. Otherwise, we will see about longevity and will update if need be. Would purchase again but locally to avoid damaged from delivery process. ... show more

  • Bad Out of the Box
Pattern Name: Softener
The media could not be loaded. Update: The water softener is now 8 months old and the control board is malfunctioning. It takes multiple presses of a button in order for it to execute a command. I called Whirlpool and they said they don’t send out a technician to diagnose the problem. They have the owner try to diagnose it. Learn from my mistake and don’t buy Whirlpool water softeners. I bought the Whirlpool WHES40E thinking it would be a reliable replacement for my old Kenmore unit that lasted twelve years. Well it turns out this thing isn’t so great. It leaked immediately after setting it up. The leak is in the bypass valve. It is not leaking at the four fittings but at the sliding valve itself. The internal O-rings are defective in some way. To make matters worse Whirlpool took 8 business days to approve the RA request, and their email states 1-2 weeks for the replacement parts to ship. Then you figure it will take 4-7 days for the parts to arrive. So I have to deal with a slow drip from my water softener for up to three weeks while waiting for parts to arrive. It’s ironic how Whirlpool puts a giant “Made in USA” label on the carton, but then gives you tier-3 Chinese supplier quality. Even the settings decal on the top of the water softener is affixed crooked. I suggest you choose a different brand of water softener and save yourself from having to deal with an extremely slow RA process. ... show more
