I installed mine using those Sharkbite flexible adapters and it really reduced the water flow in our house. I finally found the proper FPT to PEX adapter so I can just run straight PEX. Save your $ and just invest in the PEX tools.
After adding the 3 gallons of water, can a manual regeneration be done? I ask because I did just that and the brine tank filled with water during the fill stage. I let the regeneration complete. The brine pulled from the tank and the water level did drop but there is water still above the salt level. Wondering if I forgot to do something. Should I have skipped the fill stage and skipped to the brine stage?
Why does it state to close all faucets before opening the bypass (5:25)? Other documentation says to open 2 nearby faucets while filling the tank so that the tank can pressurize with water while removing air
I need help please. I have a whirlpool.... w softener . The low salt or recharge light is continually blinking ... Its a little low on salt but it has been lower many times b4 . My elec was out last week ...that may have something to do with it . Anyways it want respond when I push any button . I can't even set my time . Can you please help?
I am not an expert, so I can’t guarantee anything for you but theoretically it is not a problem if you have a bypass somewhere else in your water supply before the softener . The point of the bypass is so that if there are any issues with the water softener, you can just turn on bypass mode and then the rest of the house go on using the water supply even though it will not be soft. My house has a bypass that is separate from this because the original owner wanted to have a water filtration system and I’m guessing he didn’t want to have to have two bypasses. Having no bypass at all is going to be trouble for you if you ever need to replace your water softener or work on it. You will need to shut off the water supply in two places and then expect potentially a considerably larger amount of water that will come out when you disconnect the water softener from the pipes.
Ask a plumber. Are you measuring that pipe right? I have never heard of a supply line that is only half inch. How do you get any flow into your house? I may be totally wrong here because Ibam just a regular home owner, but I think you’re trying to put the water softener on a branch somewhere. Get a plumber to find your real supply line and redo the branch if needed so that you can put the softener in properly.
Depending on the model you have, during the recharge process, roughly 35-45 gallons of water will come out of the drain hose (and go into your drain). At it's peak, it will be discharging at 2 gallons per minute.
The most obvious symptom would be evidence of hard water in the home. You can call 966-986-3223 for troubleshooting assistance, if you feel there may be a problem.
Someone answered you … well asked you a question anyway. You could just call whirlpool and ask them to look up the serial. The WHES series has literally been in production for like 19 years so unless there’s a serial decoder formula out there you’re going to have to ask them.
There are several reasons why a water softener goes through more salt than you'd expect. The best way to diagnose the problem would be to call our customer support line at 1-866-986-3223, so we can assist you.

So you sanitizer AFTER adding salt?

How do you add 3 gallons of water to the tank?
Using any container, like a bucket.
Hi Whirlpool Water Treatment: I installed mine without using the bypass valves, is that going to be a problem?
Was it a problem?

What happens if my entire house is plumbed with 1/2"? The manual says use minimum 3/4"

How much water will come out of the drain tube?
Depending on the model you have, during the recharge process, roughly 35-45 gallons of water will come out of the drain hose (and go into your drain). At it's peak, it will be discharging at 2 gallons per minute.
Whirlpool Water Treatment Thank you!
What are the symptoms if the brine tank stops working
The most obvious symptom would be evidence of hard water in the home. You can call 966-986-3223 for troubleshooting assistance, if you feel there may be a problem.
Hithereshalom, you leave it open to remove the air.
Does anyone ever answer on this RUclips?
Someone answered you … well asked you a question anyway. You could just call whirlpool and ask them to look up the serial. The WHES series has literally been in production for like 19 years so unless there’s a serial decoder formula out there you’re going to have to ask them.
How old is my whirlpool softener: WHES20, SERIAL 1131, CODE 04087, PATENT 7262865.
What is the Model number?
My well water is greatly improved, but my 40,000 softener used nearly two bags of salt in six days. What is going on?
