What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the water softener for delivering noticeably softer water, smoother skin, silkier hair, and eliminating hard water spots. The WiFi app is widely celebrated for real-time monitoring of water usage and salt levels. Most find installation straightforward and easy, even without plumbing experience. However, a significant subset reports serious reliability concerns, including defective bypass valves, leaking tanks, and failed components. Many express frustration with support responsiveness and partial replacement offers. Despite these durability issues, most customers consider the performance and smart features worthwhile.

Do Not Buy!!

Would Not Recommend

I have just purchased this product on June 22 online, picked up June 23 and installed by a plumber on June 25th. All excited that I was replacing the older GE softener after 13 years. The plumber connects it, adds the salt and re realize the computer panel board is not flush to the cover and it will not allow us, when pushing buttons, to set the clock and salt level etc. The licensed plumber realized there was nothing we could do so we took the softener back to Lowes. Lowes threw their hands up ...

Whirlpool met its warranty obligation

Would Recommend

Quality control was iffy; came with a damaged cover and the brine well was not in its proper place. But so far it is working correctly without any leaks and Whirlpool sent me a new cover under warranty.

Lowe’s helped make this happen.

Would Recommend

It is rated highly by professional plumbers. The cost at Lowe’s is ideal for the the quality and performance that it has been displaying since being installed in our home. The plumbers came to my home at noon. Picked up new unit from Lowe’s. Removed the old Culligan unit. Installed, activated, and discarded old unit. Lowes made this experience one I’ll always enjoy talking about.

Clean and silky

Would Recommend

The pro series 46 is perfect for 4 people. Keep level at 5, any more, too salty. Easy to program, remember you will need a clear hose about 12 inches with clamps for top of tank, check diameter, and remember to use Teflon for threads there:) follow tutorial video on website, the next day, you will experience exactly what it says.
