Worth knowing
No certification found. Rated 32,000 grains. The maker says it needs salt refills and a drain line and adds a little sodium. The installation manual says not to install it on well water without first talking to SpringWell, though SpringWell also sells it in well-water combinations. Price recorded is the $1,890 MSRP; SpringWell showed $1,606.50 on Oct. 4, 2026. Salt is not counted in the cost.
