Rheem launches new Rheem Preferred Series Water Softeners

Rheem, a leading global manufacturer of water heating and HVAC solutions, introduced the new Rheem Preferred Series Water Softeners with “Learning Technology” that studies water usage patterns in real-time, enabling families to optimize soft water for homes and save hundreds of dollars in salt, water and electricity costs. This innovative product line works on municipal and well water and delivers pristine, soft water throughout the home. 

Rheem’s goal is to simplify the process for homeowners to find a water softener solution with a free water test strip that helps determine a home’s water hardness level and guides the homeowner to the ideal product for their specific water needs. Additionally, Rheem created a water savings calculator at Rheemwatertreatment.com to help homeowners understand the potential savings of utilizing a water softener.

Jim Connors, Director of Retail Business, Rheem U.S. Water Heating, said: “We are excited to launch this innovative series of Rheem water softeners at The Home Depot to enable consumers to solve their hard water challenges while helping them save money and prevent the harmful wear and tear of hard water on expensive appliances. Additionally, Rheem’s water softeners utilize a new learning technology that uses dramatically less salt than other softeners and requires less maintenance from the homeowner.” 

Rheem’s Preferred Series Water Softeners offer models at 42,000-grain standard and Wi-Fi enabled models, as well as a 32,000-grain unit for smaller homes. Each model comes equipped with learning technology, a “recharge now” feature, high flow valves for maximum water pressure, a protective shroud, and a low-salt indicator light. The 42,000-grain model also includes ultra-high flow valves, a built-in sediment filter, adjustable hardness feature, and water management features. The Wi-Fi unit includes a free app that allows consumers to remotely monitor home water usage, continuous water flow events (leaks), and handy alerts when it is time to add salt, without having to check the unit.
