Kenmore Ultrasoft 400 Water Softener Review
Aquapura Plumbing & Heating has experience dealing with a number of Kenmore Ultrasoft 400 water softeners. The Kenmore water softener is an entry level big box water softener. The system is manufactured with the main emphasis being on price. This is not to say that the Kenmore water softeners lack quality components, however it is true that some compromises are made to maintain an economical price.
Usability is very simple of the Kenmore Ultrasoft 400 water softeners. The control valve buttons are easy to use and clearly labeled. Setting up your Kenmore water softener is fairly easy as you all you have to do is set the time and the hardness of your water. The smart control valve will calculate the rest and determine how much salt your softener will use and how often it will regenerate. This makes the Kenmore water softeners more appealing to homeowners, however there are some drawbacks to this approach.
Kenmore water softeners are quite limited in their settings. The valve uses a number of pre determined settings which govern the length of cycles, amount of salt used and frequency of regenerations. In certain applications, such as well water, the softener settings may need to be fined tuned. For example, a longer brine draw may be needed for the higher amounts of iron in the water. This is not as easily done on the Kenmore water softeners and is most cases impossible to adjust.
The brine venturi nozzle is easily accessible for the average homeowner to maintain and clean. Unfortunately, this will be something that you will need to be comfortable with cleaning on this water softener. If the venturi and nozzle are clogged with sediment, silt or even iron, it will impede the Kenmore Ultrasoft 400 from softening your water.
Ultimately, the Kenmore Ultrasoft 400 water softener is a great entry level water softener for those looking for an economical alternative to the professional level water softeners. Your Kenmore water softener will soften your water years as long as you keep with the scheduled maintenance, cleanings and use the recommended salt.
