Overview
Not a timer driven softener, this DuraWater unit uses a mechanical metered Fleck head to regenerate only when water use calls for it, and it ships with resin already loaded in the mineral tank.
Reason to buy is the mechanical head, which carries on through outages, and the factory loaded tank that simplifies installation. The limitation is a thin spec list, with no flow rate, hookup size or brine tank details.
Who it's for
Homeowners comfortable with plumbing a softener, and those in areas with frequent outages, will like the mechanical head. Buyers who want programmable settings or a digital readout should consider a digital model.

- Metered regeneration saves salt and water

Performance notes
A meter counts the water used and starts regeneration only when the resin capacity is spent, which saves salt and water. A mechanical head needs no electric supply, so outages do not disturb the cycle. Resin removes hardness minerals from the water, and the listed capacity sets how much passes between regenerations.
