$2,550
Usability
Ion exchange actually removes hardness, which salt-free conditioners do not, so if you want soft water rather than just less scale this is the technology. The Bluetooth head is a genuine differentiator at this price: metered regeneration on water used rather than a timer saves both salt and water. Costs are ongoing salt and drain water, and unlike the FutureSoft conditioner it needs a drain line. 80,000 grain suits 7+ bathrooms.
- 80,000 grain capacity sized for 7+ bathrooms
- Ion exchange genuinely removes hardness rather than conditioning it
- Bluetooth head adjusts regeneration, backwash and timing from a phone
- Metered five-cycle control regenerates on water used, not on a timer
- 20 GPM service flow
- Brine tank included
- Lifetime warranty on tanks and valves plus a 6-month money-back guarantee
- Requires ongoing salt purchases
- Sends water to drain during regeneration and needs a drain line
- Adds sodium to the water, which matters on restricted diets
- Brine tank plus mineral tank is a substantial footprint
- No published NSF/ANSI certification listing
- Salt-free conditioners avoid all of the above if scale control is all you need
The SpringWell SS+ is a traditional ion exchange water softener with 80,000 grain capacity, sized for 7+ bathrooms at 20 GPM service flow. Ion exchange is the only technology that genuinely removes hardness minerals rather than altering how they behave, so it is the choice where you want soft water at the tap rather than scale control alone.
The head is Bluetooth-enabled, which is unusual at this price. Regeneration timing, backwash cycles and the five-cycle meter control are all adjustable from a phone app rather than a panel on the tank, and metered regeneration means the system regenerates on water used rather than on a clock.
The tank is 13" wide by 54" (63" with head) on a 1 inch connection at 25 to 80 psi, with a brine tank measuring 18 by 33 inches included. It needs ongoing salt and sends water to drain during regeneration, which is the tradeoff against a salt-free conditioner.
