HE Water Softening System Options
There are four high efficiency (HE) water softener sizes available, and all of them can be installed inside or outside. Your local Culligan water expert will provide recommendations on the best option for you based on your water flow, usage, hardness and pipe size. They may also recommend additional product options to address any other water issues or needs you may have.
Proportional Brining
Increase efficiency and reduce salt usage by allowing your softener to only regenerate the part of the resin bed that has been exhausted
Aqua-Sensor®
This patented technology adjusts to changes in water hardness so it only regenerates as needed, enabling more efficient operation.
100% Satisfaction Guarantee
If you are dissatisfied with your Culligan product for any reason within 30 days of your purchase, Culligan will remove the product and refund the purchase price.
Third-Party Certified
The Culligan High Efficiency and High Efficiency Upflow are tested and certified by WQA against NSF/ANSI Standard 372, CSA B483.1, and NSF/ANSI Standard 44 for the effective reduction of hardness (calcium and magnesium), barium, and radium 226/228, as verified and substantiated by test data.

Questions & Answers
Can I use this Culligan water softening system with well water?
Yes. Hard water is one of the most common problems for well owners. The High Efficiency Water Softener can provide all the benefits of water softening for those who get their water from a private well as well as those with municipal water.
Can this Culligan water softening system address other water problems?
This water softening system was designed to primarily address hard water. If you want a system that both softens your hard water and filters specific contaminants, the Aquasential® Smart High-Efficiency Municipal Water Softener (which also addresses chlorine) or the Aquasential® Smart High Efficiency Softener-Cleer (which targets iron as well) may be right for your home.

Culligan’s trained technicians provide full-service installation to make it simple to get started with your new system. Your local Culligan water expert will connect your high efficiency water softener to your water supply, electrical, drain and the salt-filled brine tank, and you’ll be all set.
