What it does for your water
The NPGLOBAL WS-8000 16,000-Grain Water Softener and Filter System is a softener and filter combo rated at 16,000 grains.
The rating assumes a heavy salt dose; at a salt-saving setting expect about 12,000 grains from its rating, enough for up to 1 person on 15 grains-per-gallon water regenerating weekly, and less than one person's at 25 grains per gallon. Run your household's numbers.
