This GE water softener review is going to look into General Electric’s product line for homes. We considered four products here. Although they are all very similar, each has its own advantages. The applications are slightly different, as are the resource requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After our reviews, we will also look at what water softeners do. If you are new to the softener market, or even if you have purchased one of these units for your home in the past, it might be a good idea to review the explanations to get familiar with the topics and terminology we use here in our roundup of GE softeners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Word About Grains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even if you don’t know anything else about water softeners before you make your purchase, you should know about grain measurements. This is the scale used to determine the power of a water-softening unit. If you get a machine with higher grains, that means that you’ll be able to process more water before the system needs to refresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Household Water Usage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The grain specification is the most important technical information to know about any prospective unit, but it’s just as important to match it against your household grain usage. To obtain this personalized figure, multiply the number of people in your house by the number of gallons of water that each person uses each day. Check your meter if you need to know your water consumption. Otherwise, you could make a reasonable estimate using the national average: around 80 gallons per person per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mineral Content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After you have the total water usage for your home, multiply the result by the grain content of your water. You can probably easily obtain the grain content of your water by contacting your local water authority, or else you could measure it yourself with a home test kit \u2014 if your kit delivers a reading in parts per million, simply divide the figure by 17.1 to get your grains per gallon amount. Multiplying the number of people in your house by the average usage per person and the grain content per gallon gives you the total grain rating. That number is the size of the water softener you probably need for your house..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GE Water Softener Products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

General Electric was founded by Thomas Edison. Since the late 1800s, the company has maintained its momentum of innovation and product development by offering quality designs on various types of electric products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a highly diversified company, designing everything from light bulbs to washing machines. While it is not always the best in the business at everything, its softeners do live up to the company’s good reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall Category Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These products scored well from reviews on the company’s website and also from third-party retailers’ sites. In fact, the only common complaints are that the product gets damaged during shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From an objective point of view, most people who have functional problems with the unit seem to be using their device in an area with very hard or high-iron water. That means that, if the softener you choose is designed to work for your water mineral profile, you should enjoy many years of reliable function with a GE product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general, customers liked the efficiency and smooth operations of these softeners. They also appreciated how easy the installation instructions were to understand. Read on for a more in-depth analysis of the currently popular models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
