Whirlpool WHES40 40,000-Grain Water Softener, Grey

$849.99

Product Details

This Whirlpool 40,000 Grain Water Softener removes up to 125 grains per gallon of hardness minerals to help prevent build-up of calcium and magnesium deposits throughout your home. The 6th Sense technology monitors your water usage habits and regenerates the resin at optimal times to minimize salt and water consumption. An integrated monitor alerts you when the system needs salt or if there are any issues. The high-flow valve provides great water flow with minimal pressure drop so you'll barely notice a difference, but your dishes, fixtures and appliances will benefit from softer water that's easier on them.

  • Ideal for households of 1 to 5+ people with its 40,000 grain capacity

  • Multi-purpose system is designed to reduce up to 125 gpg hardness minerals and 10 ppm clear water (ferrous) iron

  • Built-in system monitor indicates whether the softener is operating properly and when it’s time to add additional salt

  • Included installation kit contains custom fit bypass valve that connects up to 1-1/4" copper, PEX or CPVC piping for a DIY installation

  • Ultra-high flow valve provides maximum water flow and pressure

  • Dimensions: L 20½" x W 15" x H 48" (L 52 cm x W 38 cm x H 122 cm)

  • Whirlpool Water Softeners are NSF certified to reduce hard water symptoms around your house, such as embarrassing stains, build-up on your faucets and spotting on dishes

  • Whirlpool Water Softener Cleanser (062-2012) maintains your water softener’s peak performance and helps remove harmful depots from the resin bed, valve and system

  • Purchase three bottles of Whirlpool Water Softener Cleanser (item 062-2012) per year and extend your Whirlpool Water Softener full-coverage parts and labor warranty for an additional year, up to five years. See owner’s manual for details.

Water softener

a day ago
Bought this softener, built by the same company that used to build Kenmore units. That one lasted over 15 years. I gave this one a 4 rating based on past experience with products made by manufacturer for brand names. This unit is not built by Whirlpool. Trademark is used under license so just as long as you are aware. As I mentioned, they build units for many names and are generally a good product.

Brown water problem

12 days ago
The water softener was installed yesterday. It was not long before the water turned a brown rusty color. At this time, I have the bypass value closed on the softener to test if the water will return to clear like it was before. Since the water heater tank is fairly big it was likely take a while before all the brown water gets drained out of it. My current rating is subject to this test. I could be contacting the store to get another replacement or simply returning the one I have. Would like to receive thoughts others wish to share.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the discoloration you experienced after installation—we understand how concerning this can be.

In some cases, initial startup can stir up sediment or minerals in the plumbing or water heater, which may temporarily cause discoloration. However, we would like the opportunity to review your situation and ensure everything is operating correctly.

Please feel free to call us at 866-986-3223 so we can assist you further and help determine the cause. ecowatersys

Best Water Softener on the market for the price!

16 days ago
This is the 3rd Whirlpool 40,000 grain water softener I’ve purchased for our last three homes over the past number of years and I also got my sister, son and best friend to install the same unit in their home’s. Every unit has worked flawlessly and is very easy to operate and maintain! It’s a 7 star out of 5!! I saw one person said it didn't soften the water; I say "open the valve on the back of the unit"!!

Q: does this water softener remove iron?

a year ago
3 Answers
  • A: We don't have iron in our water but I don't believe any water softener would remove iron. You would need to install different filters for that.

Q: Est ce que ses bon si jai du souffre dans mon eau

4 years ago

3 Answers
  • A: Les adoucisseurs d'eau ne réduisent pas le "soufre" de l'eau. Le "soufre" est en fait du sulfure d'hydrogène, un gaz qui provoque une odeur désagréable d'œuf pourri dans l'eau et qui peut la rendre insupportable à boire, à cuisiner ou à se baigner. Il favorise également la corrosion et ternit l'argent. Les concentrations plus élevées sont inflammables et potentiellement toxiques. Pour éliminer les odeurs nauséabondes dans les douches et les éviers de blanchisserie, il est généralement préférable d'opter pour une élimination totale de la maison. On peut y parvenir en installant un filtre pour toute la maison. La chloration est également efficace, mais elle nécessite une maintenance importante et l'élimination de l'excès de chlore. L'osmose inverse n'est pas efficace. Parfois, l'odeur est surtout présente dans l'eau chaude. Cela est dû à des bactéries sulfato-réductrices qui réagissent avec l'anode du chauffe-eau et provoquent cette odeur. Dans ce cas, le remplacement de l'anode par un matériau moins réactif (comme l'aluminium au lieu du magnésium) améliore considérablement l'odeur.

Q: whirlpool grain water softener (40,000) - We have calcium in our water, leaving a residue on glasses, kettles, shower doors etc., will this unit remove this problem

4 years ago
3 Answers
  • A: We purchased this unit because we have very hard water. It works very well and has improved the softness of our water for everyday use. The water is much softer and leaves much less residue on the shower doors, etc. The water is very soft for washing, shampooing, laundry, etc. We don't use the soft water for drinking or in the kettle, so I still have to rinse my kettle with vinegar a couple of times a week.
