Was delivered to my door on time, and put in the garage for me (it was heavy). The price was great. Everything went smoothly in the installation, and it all works like it’s supposed to work. I have recommended this product to two friends.

Had it 3 years. No more mineral build-up in appliances (dishwasher heat coil, espresso machine). Water heater anode rod previously had massive mineral buildup. New rod has no buildup after 3 years. I would not be worried this one could handle 4 people in the house. You would just replace it sooner than a bigger one. Easy to replace though, good price and small size is nice. Noticed silky shower water right away, so you know it is making a difference in laundry.

I installed it myself, it was an easy install and set up!So far the water quality is very good.If your looking for a straight forward, easy to use softener that is reasonably priced, I don’t think you could find one better.

This is my 2nd GE softener in 2yrs …SAME MODEL ….the last one purchase at home depot just died…hope this one makes it past 2yrs…warranty expires after 1yr so i was out of luck!

I installed it about 10 days back and so far so good. It took us about 4 days after the installation for us to feel the change in water, but since then, it is working great. Installation was easy. The materials that connect to the water pipes do feel a bit cheap and flimsy. I guess as long as they hold, we should be ok. However, if I have to unhook it for maintenance or something, I would be very scared because they may break.

The water softener is easy to hookup and setup for someone who has some basic knowledge of pipe fitting. It’s working very well so far and should for years to come.

Easy install. Works great. Simple and cost effective. I have always ordered the basic models on my last 4 houses and have never had a service call or failure. Friends of mine have been talked into fancy multi tanked softeners for 2000 price range and had service issues, spent extra money uselessly, and take up too much valuable garage space. Basically the get rid of dry skin itching for me when showering, and make my glasses spotless and my clothes softer. Thats it, pretty simple.

Product shipped with 2 bad bypass valve o-rings and 1 bad venturi housing o-ring(see photos). 1st unit arrived with broken top and was replaced quickly with new unit. I shudder to think how much water would have been on my floor if I hadn’t discovered these bad o-rings. It works well now that the issues have been resolved.

Was a great replacement for a Kenmore. It seems to work well with potassium chloride pellets too. Just keep the hardness set a little higher.
