Not in stock item. Only comes ship home ,not good

Works okay. The unit should have a higher rating for installation and working satisfaction however the process to order and receive from Lowes was exhausting.

Good product fair price.

Would Recommend

The product works as expected by softening the water nicely. Easy to set up. If you are replacing an existing softener make sure your current bypass valve is the right size otherwise you are going to install it like a new install instead of just sliding the new one into place. Big difference. The difference between the smaller and larger bypass is only a half inch so double check. The next day free shipping was incredible.

Danger: cross-threading bypass valve

The installation directions were not detailed enough. The plastic threads on the bypass valve are too easy to cross-thread with a brass fitting unless they are connected to the first stage of your water lines BEFORE inserting the bypass unit into the receiving unit.

Damaged product

Would Not Recommend

Your Whirlpool water softener is probably an “as advertised” product, but we will not know with this particular unit, having been dropped somewhere along the delivery line. Damaged beyond use, we will return it and try again.

Works but delivery was not good.

Would Not Recommend

The water softener after one week seems to work well. However, it arrived disjointed with the top part askew and the brine well tube out of place. It took some effort to put it together properly.

I would’ve like to have a manual with the Water Softener, and maybe a stater bottle of the Cleaner.
