Product Description

The Whirlpool WHES30E 30, 000 grain water softener is ideal for families of 1-4+ people looking for a reliable way to soften their water. Whirlpool water softeners eliminate embarrassing mineral stains, use less detergent in the washing machine for cleaner, brighter clothes and softer feeling fabrics. In addition, Whirlpool water softeners help your water-using appliances last longer by allowing them to run more efficiently. Soft water also helps to keep your hair and skin feeling healthy and soft. Soft water has been known to help alleviate some symptoms for those that suffer from skin conditions such as psoriasis. Whirlpool water softeners can help keep your hair safe from mineral buildup and clear water iron, keeping your hair color vibrant for longer periods of time. Whirlpool water softeners employ demand initiated regeneration meaning the system will only regenerate based on your hardness level and how much water you actually use, this results in significant salt and water savings. It will not waste water by regenerating (like competitor models) while you are on vacation and you will not run out of soft water if you use more water than usual. Whirlpool water softeners also come with simple to program electronics and include a low salt indicator light and work on city water or well water. Over time, water softeners also keep your water-using appliances (water heaters, dishwashers, washing machines, etc. ) working efficiently, last longer and save energy. All Whirlpool water softeners come standard with a 1-year manufacturer's parts and labor, 3-year limited electronics, and 10-year limited on the tanks. The full parts and labor can be extended to 2 years with the purchase of 3 bottles of Whirlpool WHEWSC water softener cleanser within the first year of ownership (sold separately). All systems include installation kit, bypass valve and come ready to connect to 1-inch male pipe thread. Questions? Call the helpline at (866) 986-3223. Note: Due to variances in production and assembly, the water softener valve height may vary by up to 1/2" from an existing water treatment system, including existing Whirlpool models. This potential change in valve height will not affect system performance.

Eliminates Harmful Buildup

As your water softener works to remove hard water minerals from your water, they can create a buildup inside of your system, even after the system regenerates. Whirlpool Water Softener Cleanser, an acid-based cleaning solution, helps keep your water softener operating at full efficiency by removing these residual minerals from the valve and resin bed where the buildup can occur. This cleanser can be used in all brands and models of water softeners and is especially important for homes with high levels of manganese and/or iron in their water.

One Bottle Every 4 Months

Use one bottle of Whirlpool Water Softener Cleanser every 4 months, no matter the grain capacity of your water softener, to keep your softening system running stronger for longer.

Easy-to-Clean, Easy-to-Use

The process is hassle free — simply add, recharge, rinse and repeat as recommended. Detailed instructions are listed on the bottle.

Whirlpool Water Solutions

Whirlpool water softener technology is another example of our mission to provide innovative solutions to homeowners. Since 1911, Whirlpool has been dedicated to providing the highest quality water solutions to you and your family.

Pile of Crap
1 Star
Pile of Crap
A plumber installed this softener. The next day I decided to run a "sanitize" recharge cycle since the unit is new(?). Approximately 1 1/2 hr. into the cycle this is what is saw. The salt tank (brinewell) was nearly full of water with water leaking out of the hole with the screw holding the brinewell tube (with 25 min, 24 seconds left on the cycle). I allowed the cycle to complete hoping the water would, at least, be pumped out of the brinewell. When the cycle was over fast water continued flowing into the brinewell overflowing out of the top of the brinewell, onto the floor and out of my garage under the garage door. The water didn't stop flowing until I placed the "service"/"bypass" control into the bypass position.Now what did Amazon say when I asked for a refund for this defective softener (which arrived in an undamaged box with no visible damage to the unit)? Just ship it back for a refund on the cost of the softener. Yea, I'll just pick up this unit with a brinewell tank full of water and a block of approximately 100 lbs. of salt in the bottom of the brinewell, find a box of the appropriate size (which you can only buy in quantity) and carry it over to a UPS story. Oh yea, I can just eat the $370+ paid to the plumber.I'm willing to eat the cost of the plumber but the hassle of shipping the softener back to get a refund of the cost of the unit is pure B.S.
