Softener Comparison Chart

Are you trying to figure out what size softener you'll need? You've come to the right place. The chart below will help you to determine which of our water softeners are the right fit for your home. Then take a look at the next section to help you figure out what grain capacity you need. 

U.S. Availability Chart

Model	Capacity	Hardness*	Ferrous Iron*	Household:	Warranty
EP31	31,000 grain	110 gpg, *sediment screen	8 ppm	1-4+ people	- 1 Year Parts/Labor (5 Year Extension Available) - 3 Year Control Board - 10 Year Salt & Resin tank
EPHS	35,000 grain	100 gpg + Chlorine & *sediment screen	3 ppm	1-4+ people
EP42	42,000 grain	110 gpg, *sediment screen	11 ppm	1-5+ people

*Hardness and Clear Water (Ferrous) Iron Reduction Values. 

*Sediment - the filters are designed the reduce large sediment, visible to the naked eye. There is no rated micron size.

How to Choose a Softener?

We'll need to do a little math. Let’s start with some calculations to determine the Unit Capacity that best fits your household:

What unit works best for the above example? 

Looking at the available units below, we would recommend the EPHY, EP30, or EP31 for the example above. The Grain Capacity of both units are over the family’s minimum 25,600 grain capacity needed, so those softeners would be the most efficient for the family.

Model	Grain Capacity
EPHY EP30 EP31 EPHS EP40 EP42	27,000 30,000 31,000 35,000 40,000 42,000
