WHAT IT FIXES
Made for East Valley water.
- White crust on faucets and showerheads
- Spots on dishes and shower glass
- Scale inside your water heater and appliances
- Dry, itchy skin and dull hair
- Stiff laundry and soap that won’t lather
A softener doesn’t remove chlorine, PFAS or arsenic. For those, see the Whole House Combo and reverse osmosis.
HOW IT WORKS
-
Hard water flows in
City water carries dissolved calcium and magnesium into the tank.
-
Resin trades minerals for sodium
Resin beads hold sodium. Each calcium or magnesium ion takes two spots and pushes two sodium ions out.
-
Soft water flows out
The hardness stays in the tank. Every tap gets soft water.
-
It cleans itself
When the resin fills up, the Clack valve rinses it with salt water from the brine tank, based on how much water you actually use.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Fair questions.
What size water softener do I need?
Most homes with 1–3 people need 32,000 grain, 3–5 people need 48,000 grain, and 5–8 people need 64,000 grain. Go a size up if your water is on the hard end, like east Mesa or Apache Junction.
How long does a water softener last?
Usually 10 to 15 years with salt kept in the tank. The resin carries a lifetime warranty.
Will softened water taste salty?
No. A softener adds only a small amount of sodium. For the cleanest drinking water, add reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink.
Can I rent instead of buying?
Yes. Rentals start at $20 a month with a 12-month minimum, or you can finance through Wisetack.
