Score: 72/100Rankings
The Kenmore 350 is a compact, whole-home water softener designed for households of 1-4 people, featuring IntelliSoft technology to optimize salt and water usage. It offers a high-flow valve and NSF certification, making it suitable for moderate hardness levels. However, its limited grain capacity and iron reduction capabilities make it less ideal for larger families or homes with very hard water.
The Water Boss 74011 is a compact, residential water softener featuring integrated iron and sediment filtration to eliminate the need for separate pre-filters. It offers automatic operation with a digital display and manual regeneration capabilities, designed for households with limited space. It is best suited for residential users needing a space-saving solution with built-in filtration.
