    • Seems to work well (replacement of similar unit)
Our previous unit which has been in our house since it was built in 2006 had the valve fail and so we thought we would upgrade to this unit. I was very surprised to open the box to see the exact same unit when I opened the box… it is 100% identical but has a different logo on top (our old one was GE). Even the screen and button power up the same way. I am not convinced this unit filters anything as stated. That being said, install was incredibly easy (basically swapping the same unit). It returned our water to softened water as I procrastinated for two weeks once our old one broke. My wife said the dishwasher wasn’t cleaning which is how I found out that our old softener has stopped working. We are in Minnesota and have incredibly hard water (it was off the chart on the test strip that came with the new softener) which makes me think that we have a hardness score of ~30-35. That being said, there are 5 of us and we shower and have to do laundry every day and the unit seems to keep up just fine. ... show more

    • Very easy to keep the water softener clean

We let our water softener salt run out to clean and then added salt back in and this Cleanser. 2nd time ever doing this and it seems to be doing well. We have the Whirlpool whole house filter and the seperate softener and have been extremely pleased with the ease of use and no maintenance on the filter and minimal upkeep as you can see on the softener. The combination of the filter and softener make the tap water here in Florida which tastes horrible actually drinkable. Saves money on purchasing bottled water. ... show more

This is my first water softener. I live in a rural area on a community well and the hardness is over 120 gpg (grains per gallon), which is pretty hard. I have a filter system, but it wasn’t enough. After a lot of research and talking to plumbers an neighbors with softeners, I picked this Whirlpool unit. It arrived promptly, and the shipping box was in OK condition. But, when I opened it up, I found a lot of issues. The case was pretty scraped up and the bottom was sort or warped. The brine tank was rattling around in the salt tank a the input/output valve was turned sideways inside the cover. When I opened the cover, I found that the circuit board cover was off and the board itself was lying loosely in the cover. The plug was bent and there was some damaged insulation on the power wire. I initially decided to return it, but it would have been a lot of work to get it upstairs and shipped and then wait for a new one. I put the circuit board and display back in place and fixed the other things that I could see. When I plugged it in, it worked so I decided to try it out instead of returning it. The actual hookup was easy (other than running the pex lines through the ceiling). I used 3/4 pex line and shark bite fittings in it (so that it would be easy to disconnect if it didn’t work). The instructions were fairly straightforward, although there is no mention anywhere as to how much salt to put in. I used 2 bags of pellet salt, but shoul have bought 5 or 6. I programmed everything and ran a recharge as per the instructions and it all went well. The next morning however, I noticed that the salt tank was almost full of water (up to 6 on the fill level). I removed the cover and looked it over carefully and noted that the seal between the brine tank and valve body was leaking. I was going to return it again at this point, but decided to dive in further. Found the instructions on servicing the Distributor O-ring kit and took the valve body off off the brine tank. I found that the lowermost O-ring (under the filter screen) was out of place and covered in loose charcoal. I cleaned everything, lubricated the O-rings and put it all back together. So far, no leaks and the unit works perfectly. I will say that installation is relatively easy. Be sure that you have feed lines and drain options wherever you’re going to install this. I will also say that Whirlpool’s website is very good with lots of clear instructions and information. The softener seems to work fine, and there is a significant, measurable difference in the water hardness. Time will tell if this is a lemon, but I do have the extended warranty 🤞. ... show more

    • Subtle soft
Pros: I noticed after a couple of days that the water softened, and unlike other softeners I have had, the effect is consistent over time. The tank holds five 40lb bags of salt and seems to be consuming about a bag a week on the initial setting of 25, but my wife and I are the only permanent residents. FYI, do NOT use soft water in your pool. It will cause calcium deposits to form (looks like acne), and they are difficult and expensive to remove. I have a trick that costs less than $75 and 8 hours or so of your time to remove them. Pneumatic grinder. I think all of these systems are overpriced for what they are, but this system is inexpensive compared to others. There isn't much I can't do with the correct tools and supplies so installation was a breeze. Whatever piping you connect to the inlet/outlet must be perfectly level (applies even pressure to 0-rings in the inlet/outlet. If not, it puts too much stress on the o-ring inside the snap in portion of the inlet/outlet and could result in leaks. You must push firmly to cause those connections to "snap" into place. Tighten the threaded end of the inlet/outlet firmly, but do not overtighten. A trick I use for PVC is to tighten it as firmly by hand as you can. Hook everything up. If it leaks at the threads, turn off the water supply and tighten it a half turn or so. Turn the water on and observe the connection for additional leaks. If there are still leaks, repeat the process. In this way, you stop the leak but avoid breaking the threaded connection from over tightening. Always install a ball cock valve between the soft water system and your sidement filter along with one before your sediment filter so you can easily service your sediment filter which I highly recommend. Other: I recommend the "pro" version of the soft water system to avoid having to install a whole home filter at least for a while. I have another brand's RO system under our sink that connects to our ice maker, but at some point, I will add the whole home filter. If you add a paper filter to your whole home that you can see through the mount and look at it after a week of operation, you will understand why. A softener is not a filter (unless you buy the "pro" that also filters), and a sediment filter only removes sediment. So the pro is not as good as a number of the whole home filteration systems. Our MUD (municiple utility district) publishes annual water quality reports. They are great to use as a general guide for how much softening and filtering you need. You will probably have to do some conversion calculations. Here is some helpful information: The hardness of water is measured in grains per gallon (gpg). One grain is equivalent to 17.1 milligrams of calcium or magnesium dissolved in one liter of water. For example, one aspirin is equal to 5 grains, and when dissolved into a gallon of water, the unit of measure would be reported as 5 grains per gallon. Your municipal water supply may measure water hardness in mg/L or ppm. 1 gpg = 17.1 mg/L or 17.1 ppm. Soft water is less than 1 gpg, whereas hard water is anything above 7gpg. See Whirlpool's website Classification Range of hardness (ppm) Soft 0 - 60 Moderately Hard 61 - 120 Hard 121 - 180 Like a coffin nail - anything over 180 See-https://www.extension.purdue.edu/extmedia/wq/wq-5.html You will know the system is working if your soap suddenly produces a lot more suds, your skin feels smooth after a shower, and your hair doesn't seem to need conditioner any longer. Note: your appliances that use soap will also experience more suds. You don't need as much soap to clean, well, anything. If you install it outside (which Whirlpool says you can if you protect it from direct sunlight), I recommend a cover. There is one sold on Amazon that fits perfectly, but it is not insullated. Those of you in cold weather climantes will at least need to find better protection for the inlet/outlet to avoid damage from freezing. Con: it is not a smart system. I would at least like the ability to monitor the salt in the tank and change other settings if possible. ... show more
