What does a 50,000-grain water softener mean?
The 50,000-grain capacity refers to the amount of hardness minerals this system can remove before it regenerates. The right size for your home depends on your water hardness, daily water usage, and household size—not just the grain capacity. If you're unsure whether a 50,000-grain system is the right fit, our water experts are happy to help.
Why choose a metered water softener?
Why choose a metered water softener?

What are the benefits of 10% cross-link resin?

Can this water softener be used with well water?
Yes, this water softener can be used with well water if hardness is the primary concern. However, if your well water also contains elevated levels of iron, sulfur, manganese, or bacteria, additional treatment equipment may be recommended. We suggest testing your water before choosing a system to ensure the best results.
