Kenmore Elite  Hybrid Water Softener

We have enjoyed our hydrid softener over the past few months. It is great to notice that the amount of soap needed is much less with soft water. The hookup was easy and took less than a day from start to finish. We put our water softener in the garage between the well water tank and the water heater. The little light on the top that lets you know when to add salt is excellent. It blinks a bright blue light in the garage so that keeping track of the salt level is a breeze. We left the settings for softening the water on the factory setting. Took water sample of well water and water after passing through the softener to the pool supply. They tested the water and the calcium was much lower (normal) but not zero. The water spots are no longer visible in the kitchen on the granite and in the shower. We can even wash the car without water spots! UPDATE: It has been about a year and the softener still works great. There have been no issues and it does not consume much salt.

Installation was expertly done in a timely manner. Already enjoying the softer better tasting water.

We haven't had this very long but can definitely tell a difference in our H20. Our H20 tastes much better! We are able to drink out of the faucet instead of wasting money on bottled H20. The product is a good price for the combo of water softner & filtration system. If you bought them seperately it would be much more. It was a little harder to hook up than what the sales associate said so we did end up paying for installation.

Have had this water softener for about 2 weeks and what a difference in the water. Dishes look 100 times better when they come out of the dishwasher my hair and my wife's hair feel much softer. We both grew up with hard water and were not used to soft water, and after this water softener we will never go back to hard water. It is so user friendly and it even has a light in it when you open the hood to add salt. Pretty easy to install my good friend is a plumber he helped but watched him and I think anyone could install it with some common sense.

I bought this softner online and picked it up locally. The install was pretty easy. I install a 3 way valve system along with the included bypass that comes with the softner. I thought this was the best way to go so if I needed to take it out of service or move it to another location, it could be taken out by closing the the inlet and outlet valve and then opening the main line valve I installed. Some hints for anyone that is considering installing themselves but doesn't like to solder copper, I used all compression fittings and ball valves (sharkbite fittings). A couple of tees and flex lines that hook to the softner with 1" at the softner and 3/4" at by ball valve hook ups made a easy installation. Just make sure the one tee fitting in your main line is a sleeve tee so you can slide it back first and then install the other tee and your main shut off and then slide your sleeve tee back to join them. No soldering involved. Our city water was hard and the clorene taste was gone.

This water softener was supposed to work for "over 6 persons" to a house.The information never mentions how many square feet of house it softens. I have a 2200 s.f. house and there are only 2 of us and we have not had soft water since the day it was installed! I had a plumber come over and he told me that the unit is way too small for my house and that a softener of this size is made for a much smaller house. The carbon also onlylasts ONE YEAR and this was not explained to me . I am very unhappy and will not buy anything from Sears again.

Softner was just what we were looking for. Deliver and installation went as planned. Unit developed a problem with the first regeneration and was subquently determined to be defective. It was replaced promptly and is functioning as advertised. Store and installer exceeded our expectations in dealing with the defective unit.

We are still, after 2 months, kicking ourselves for not having installed this filter/softener earlier in our lives! Wife and daughter LOVE it, because it makes their hair softer and easier to comb, etc. As for me, I have no issue with the "slick" feeling when I'm rinsing off in the shower. No more rusty looking toilets to contend with or clean once a week. Plus, our white clothes stay white, instead of turning brown, because of iron and minerals. I'd even recommend this to my worst enemy! Don't hesitate, you won't be disappointed. Professionally installed, because we wanted our outside water, both front and back, to be unfilterd.
