The installation was simple and the directions were detailed. I paired this with the GE smart water filter also seen in the picture. I have very hard water and I have had to set this at 125 (default setting is 25) to get my water softened to zero but it does a good job. At that setting I am adding a bag every 3 days or so. I thought this was a smart water softener like the water filter but it is not. The 40,000 grain like this one is the smart version. I had added the 40k to my cart and switched to this one because my calculation was 48k and I didn’t notice is wasn’t smart until I was installing it.

I love this easy to use product once programed which was very easy and quick everything is automatic. I also like the info about water usage and such on the display it keeps me informed as to how the unit is working.

It’s much better than my old one and works extremely well.

Unit works great. Very quiet and efficient. One nuance: the old Kenmore water softener had female 3/4″ couplings at the softener and my pipes also have female 3/4 inch pipe fittings at the other end. This GE has 1″ pipe fittings on the softener unit. Therefore you will need to replace your old connectors with ones that are 1 ” female on the one end and 3/4 ‘ female on the other end. I found 24″ long couplers in stainless steel to do the job for a fast DIY install. Your connections may be different. I was not able to find a suitable adapter and therefore went the 1’ x 3/4″ x 24″ stainless. Easy install with fewer connections (fewer potential leak points).

I had never had a water softener before. I had no idea what I was missing out on, lol. My skin feels great, and I like that there is a meter telling me when more salt needs to be added.

Very good product, easy to install. Home Depot had all the supplies I needed for proper installation.
Junius Parisian (verified owner) –
I hadn’t had soft water for quite a while. Can’t believe how much we are enjoying it. We certainly feel the difference in the shower and also loving what it is doing for my dishes and clothes.

I have installed this model in several different houses I have lived in and it is very reliable and low maintenance. Also pretty easy to install. I used the shark bite water softener connection hoses when the water lines are pex.

Very easy to install and operate. I couldn’t be any happier with the results of my very first water softener. Highly recommended.

I purchased this unit on the Home Depot website and picked it up locally. I needed to replace a similar softener of a different brand that had reached the end of its serviceable life. The softener itself is performing quite well; I only wish more information were displayed on the LCD screen during the backwash cycle.I need to give a warning about Home Depot. When the unit was brought out to me by the store employee the carton was opened. I was somewhat concerned but accepted it anyway since it was the last one in stock. When I arrived at home I found the head of the softener removed and three essential o rings missing. I did not want to travel back to the store and return the unit; it was enough of a hassle picking it up. It took me two days and additional expense to obtain the missing o rings and install the softener. Once installed the unit performed as expected. Don’t trust Home Depot, and never accept an open item.
