Softener Comparison Chart

Use the table below to compare Water Softening systems based on contaminant reduction, grain capacity, and household size. You can click on any of the system names for more information. 

To calculate which unit is best for your home, visit the Choosing a Softener section below. 

Model	Capacity	Hardness*	Ferrous Iron*	Warranty:
WHES30	30,000 grain	95 gpg	8 ppm	- 1 Year Parts/Warranty (5 Yr Extension Available)  - 3 Year Electronic Control Board  - 10 Yr Salt and Resin Tanks
WHES40	40,000 grain	125 gpg	10 ppm
WHES44	44,000 grain	140 gpg	12 ppm
WHES48	48,000 grain	160 gpg + Sediment*	12 ppm	- 2 Year Parts/Warranty (10 Yr Extension Available) - 3 Year Electronic Control Board - 10 Yr Salt and Resin Tanks

*Sediment - the filters are designed the reduce large sediment, visible to the naked eye. There is no rated micron size. 

 

 

Choosing a Softener

Let’s start with some calculations to determine the Unit Capacity that best fits your household:

Looking at the available units below, we would recommend the WHES30 or WHESFC for the example above. The Grain Capacity of both units are over the family’s minimum 28,800 grain capacity needed, so those softeners would be the most efficient for the family.

Model	Grain Capacity
WHES30 WHESFC WHES40 WHES44 WHES48	30,000 31,000 40,000 44,000 48,000
