Whirlpool WHES40 40,000-Grain Water Softener, Grey

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.

Has fewer features than my last one.

19 days ago
I bought this but have not had it long enough for a real evaluation. One feature my last one had was a setting for the number of people in the house and which therefore affects the frequency of regeneration.

Thank you for your review. This system is designed to monitor your water usage and determine when regeneration is needed based on that usage and your water hardness. If you have any other questions or would like more details about how this process works, please feel free to contact our Customer Service team for assistance. ecowatersys

LEAKED all over floor, cracked resin/bead & motor

24 days ago
Cheap, terrible product. Lasted less than 5 years. No parts and no technician who can or wants to service it here in Canada. Whirlpool customer service is useless, kept me on the phone forever, then finally redirecting me to another source that manufactures these and puts the Whirlpool name on it. Would NOT recommend!!!

No, I do not recommend this product.

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

4 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.

Q: How long does it take to produce soft water?

a year ago
2 Answers
  • A: Took a few days for the softener to actually work first time. After that, it has been quite consistent. However, there are going to be days where you suddenly feel extremely soft water for a day and then it normalizes. Overall it works pretty good. I've had it installed for 7 months at this point and hard water spots have decreased significantly.

  • A: I beleive it is just gravity feed to floor. Mine just drains into sump pump hole. Doesn,t appear to be much pressure as it drains.
