    Our first softener
    First time I've owned a water softener and was surprised how the water seemed to taste better with no "salty" flavor. I did find some loose parts in the box which took me a while to figure where they came from using the on line parts diagram. Installation was pretty easy but be careful of crosstheads when attaching the adaptors to the nylon bypass as it is very easy to do.

    Works well but the drain line provided is undersized.

    Resin everywhere
    The softener last a little over 2 years. I’m not sure what happened but something broke over the holidays and there was resin coming out of the faucets. Pretty sure it’s the bottom distributor. I spent 2 days flushing resin out of the plumbing and water heater! I finally got a plumber out here today and he couldn’t get to the distributor because the clips broke and wouldn’t come off. He said it will be cheaper to get a new one than to have it fixed.

      As expected
      Just installed this last week . I was previously renting a JS' professional WS and decided to have my own so I bought this Rheem WS . Installation was quite easy if you follow the manual instructions and related YouTube videos. Right now it is working as expected but will provide further review at some time in the near future.

      Your skin will thank you.
      Easy install although house was pre-plumbed. After a couple of weeks our skin Feels great. After 50+ years without soft water in the Phoenix area our skin needed a break. This unit did the job. At first I had it turned up too high not understanding the conversion table. Now have it set for 20. Works great. Your skin will thank you. Good value and free delivery. Thanks HD

      Charlie,
      My new house was plumbed for a water softener. I cut the Plex waterline with my hacksaw. I pushed on the two Sharkbite connector hoses to the house plumbing Plex lines. Then I ran the regeneration drain tubing to the drain stand pipe. Then I ran the overflow tubing to the floor drain. I pushed the unit into position then dropped in 3 bags of salt pellets. I plugged it in and did the easy programming. And it was done and it is working great with beautiful soft water. It took me about 2 hours, but I could easily do it in one hour if had to do another one...and I'm 79.

      Nothing has changed
      Most of the good reviews focus on how easy to install and how nicely its packaged. Let's get real, the water hardness level in the household after running the machine for over 3 months, is still at its hardest which San Jose water is best known. TDS 320 same as before Rheem water softener and ISpring whole house filtration system were installed. Rheem machine the water hardness level has been set at 2, out of 9. Did nothing, waste of money. Dont buy this machine just for the peace of mind.

      We are sorry to hear you are having trouble with your new softener. Water softeners do not remove TDS, so you'll need to use a Hardness Test Strip (or testing kit) when testing the softened water. The salt level setting is on a scale of 0-8, while your hardness setting has a range of 0-95. Please reach out to us at 1-800-754-7027 for help programming your softener and testing for proper function. RheemWaterTreatment

        Excellent product and easy install
        Works great and was easy to install. Make sure that you have someone to help lift the unit unless you know you can lift around 100 pounds yourself.. Personally was able to tackle it but if it was any heavier I woulda needed a hand. READ THE DIRECTIONS!
