The Double Standard Water Softener is designed to deliver maximum softening capacity in a compact, easy-to-use system ideal for home shower installations. This 16,000-grain model produces twice the softening capacity of the standard unit and provides up to 40% more soft water than other compact softeners on the market. With proper setup, it can supply soft water for up to 1,600 gallons or roughly 40 days, depending on your local hardness level. (Capacity of a Water Softener)

Regeneration is simple, just use two boxes of common table salt and complete the process in under 30 minutes.

The large-mouth opening allows salt refills, and the high-grade premium made in the USA resin ensures long service life and reliable softening performance.

This model connects directly to a handheld shower hose line, this model comes with the ½ NTP adapters preinstalled, so you do not need to purchase them separately. Once connected, it maintains strong water flow with very low pressure drop, making it ideal for everyday home shower use. The compact 22”H x 9.75”D body fits easily inside most showers enclosures without interfering with your existing setup.

The softener helps eliminate hard water and rust stains, prevents scale buildup on shower fixtures, improves soap lather, and reduces dryness of skin and hair.

Every unit comes complete with hardness test strips. The other accessories you see our other softener comes with are not included and they do not work with ½ NTP. 

Shower Softener Instructions

NOTE:

Why It Takes Longer for Hot Water to Reach the Shower When Using a Softener When you connect a portable water softener to your home shower, the water must travel through the softener first before reaching your showerhead. This extra step slightly increases the distance, and therefore the time, it takes for hot water from your water heater to arrive.

Inside the softener, water flows through the resin tank, moves around the resin beads, and then continues through the connecting hoses and adapters before entering the shower line. Because of this added pathway, the incoming hot water needs more time to push out the cooler water already sitting inside the softener and hoses. In short:

• The softener holds water inside it.
• That water must be pushed out before the new hot water reaches the shower.
• The more water volume the system contains, the longer it takes for hot water to appear. This delay is completely normal and expected. Once the hot water reaches the softener and moves through the system, your shower will heat up and operate normally.

The same process happens whenever you change the temperature, the adjustment must travel through the softener and hoses, so it may take a little extra time before you feel the temperature change at the showerhead. This delay is completely normal and expected
