Product Details

This Whirlpool 40,000 Grain Water Softener removes up to 125 grains per gallon of hardness minerals to help prevent build-up of calcium and magnesium deposits throughout your home. The 6th Sense technology monitors your water usage habits and regenerates the resin at optimal times to minimize salt and water consumption. An integrated monitor alerts you when the system needs salt or if there are any issues. The high-flow valve provides great water flow with minimal pressure drop so you'll barely notice a difference, but your dishes, fixtures and appliances will benefit from softer water that's easier on them.

  • Ideal for households of 1 to 5+ people with its 40,000 grain capacity

  • Multi-purpose system is designed to reduce up to 125 gpg hardness minerals and 10 ppm clear water (ferrous) iron

  • Built-in system monitor indicates whether the softener is operating properly and when it’s time to add additional salt

  • Included installation kit contains custom fit bypass valve that connects up to 1-1/4" copper, PEX or CPVC piping for a DIY installation

  • Ultra-high flow valve provides maximum water flow and pressure

  • Dimensions: L 20½" x W 15" x H 48" (L 52 cm x W 38 cm x H 122 cm)

  • Whirlpool Water Softeners are NSF certified to reduce hard water symptoms around your house, such as embarrassing stains, build-up on your faucets and spotting on dishes

  • Whirlpool Water Softener Cleanser (062-2012) maintains your water softener’s peak performance and helps remove harmful depots from the resin bed, valve and system

  • Purchase three bottles of Whirlpool Water Softener Cleanser (item 062-2012) per year and extend your Whirlpool Water Softener full-coverage parts and labor warranty for an additional year, up to five years. See owner’s manual for details.

Mediocre and a little pricey for the quality

17 days ago
Replaced a dead one of the exact same kind. Previous lasted maybe 5-6 years before the drain output wore away. Expect these units to leak as they are built very cheaply. Will not buy another.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Last one lasted15+ years

This replaced the same model I installed 15+ years ago. Hoping it is as good. I even had a heavy iron situation and came out still working. The control panel functions will stop working in very damp locations but if you remove the circuit board with buttons on it's face and push them directly - all functions work this way.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Got this for my inlaws home to replace an existing one. Needed it to be priced good, work flawlessly and be simple to operate. Fit my need perfectly. They didn't have the adapter but was able to find at home hardware no problem. Very satisfied so far

Q: does this water softener remove iron?

a year ago
3 Answers
  • A: We don't have iron in our water but I don't believe any water softener would remove iron. You would need to install different filters for that.

Q: Est ce que ses bon si jai du souffre dans mon eau

4 years ago
Translate with Google
3 Answers
  • A: Les adoucisseurs d'eau ne réduisent pas le "soufre" de l'eau. Le "soufre" est en fait du sulfure d'hydrogène, un gaz qui provoque une odeur désagréable d'œuf pourri dans l'eau et qui peut la rendre insupportable à boire, à cuisiner ou à se baigner. Il favorise également la corrosion et ternit l'argent. Les concentrations plus élevées sont inflammables et potentiellement toxiques. Pour éliminer les odeurs nauséabondes dans les douches et les éviers de blanchisserie, il est généralement préférable d'opter pour une élimination totale de la maison. On peut y parvenir en installant un filtre pour toute la maison. La chloration est également efficace, mais elle nécessite une maintenance importante et l'élimination de l'excès de chlore. L'osmose inverse n'est pas efficace. Parfois, l'odeur est surtout présente dans l'eau chaude. Cela est dû à des bactéries sulfato-réductrices qui réagissent avec l'anode du chauffe-eau et provoquent cette odeur. Dans ce cas, le remplacement de l'anode par un matériau moins réactif (comme l'aluminium au lieu du magnésium) améliore considérablement l'odeur.

Q: whirlpool grain water softener (40,000) - We have calcium in our water, leaving a residue on glasses, kettles, shower doors etc., will this unit remove this problem

5 years ago
3 Answers
  • A: We purchased this unit because we have very hard water. It works very well and has improved the softness of our water for everyday use. The water is much softer and leaves much less residue on the shower doors, etc. The water is very soft for washing, shampooing, laundry, etc. We don't use the soft water for drinking or in the kettle, so I still have to rinse my kettle with vinegar a couple of times a week.
