What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the water softener for delivering noticeably soft water, reducing mineral buildup on fixtures, and using salt efficiently—often requiring refills only every six weeks. Most highlight straightforward DIY installation that fits standard plumbing without major modifications. Many appreciate the strong value for money compared to alternatives. However, some report premature failures after two years, and several note missing documentation or components upon arrival, requiring extra effort to resolve before setup.

Installed a few weeks ago and all is good. Easy, install and water is now testing at no hardness.

Water softener was easy to install and program, especially using flexible corrugated pipe from Lowes!

Very good product.

Would Recommend

This replaced a ten year old Whirlpool water softener that had the electronic control module that die. Installation was very easy, with no problems programming it. It’s nice to have soft water again! One improvement that Whirlpool made was adding a plastic cover to help keep moisture from getting to the electronic control module - time will determine if this is effective.

Good Value

Would Recommend

Second purchase to replace exact model that lasted 6 total years. We used the cleaner religiously. Extended warranty expired at 5 years. Still a good value for a two person household.

Fine machine that lasts along time

My old whirlpool softener died after 12 years, I had to rush out and get another one. Total time to change out was 4 hours , but now the water tastes better than before. I am glad it is changed out.

So far so good

Recently purchased and installed. Did like that I had to scan a QR code and print the installation instructions that were not included in the box. I was surprised also that the great warranty had conditions that I had to follow.
