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 M27, HY or 30 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 |
|
M20 M27 MHY M30 M34 M45 M45C |
20,000 27,000 27,000 30,000 34,000 45,000 45,000 |
