Kenmore 350 Series Water Softener —
We had a 12-year old Kenmore water softener that finally decided to give up the ghost earlier this year. Since we were so impressed by how well our previous Kenmore worked, we decided we'd head to Sears to see what they had available.
Truth be told, water softeners haven't changed much over the years. They are still the same basic design and work pretty much the same way. We found out, much to our relief, that the water softeners from Kenmore can re-use the existing fittings! We thought we'd have to get a plumber out to hook this thing up -- but nope, it fit perfectly on the old fittings. Talk about a convenience!
We got the 350 because we have a family of 3 and a hardness of 20. It works well for us, recharging about once every 4 days (we have a teenager who loves to run the water!). It's quieter than our older one and seems to use very little salt -- a plus!
Overall, we couldn't be happier with the purchase. We look forward to getting another 12 years out of this one (if not more!)
