How to Choose a Softener?
We'll need to do a little math. Let’s start with some calculations to determine the Unit Capacity that best fits your household:
What unit works best for the above example?
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 |
WHES18 WHES30 WHESFC WHES40 WHES44 WHES48 |
18,000 30,000 31,000 40,000 44,000 48,000 |
