Review: Good product with a fair price - I had a Sears made by Ecopure water softener for 20 years. I brought this as the replacement for five people in the house. I cut out the old one, and put in the new one. I used a cutting wheel to cut my old 1 inch adaptors out because this new one was not a direct fit for the Sears one. It was close but the new control water valve is a half inch off center with the old one. I used the new control valve shipped with the unit. I used snap on water lines to my 3/4 inch water lines and the other end, the female 1 inch connecters screwed on and were tightened with a wrench. I was surprised at how tight I had to make the connection to make it leak-free. I had to tighten all the way down, so much so I was thinking there was something wrong but it was water-tight. This unit's brine discharge is a half-inch barb. The old one had a garden hose male screw on plug. I put on the half-inch line supplied with the unit, added a clamp, and then connected the other end to a male barb on the back of a garden hose female connector I got at a big box store. I brass-barreled this to an existing garden hose I had in place from the old unit. The hose goes through a small drilled out hole in my foundation to outside and into a curtain drain so the brine discharge goes through the drain and out about 200 feet from the house and not into a cement septic tank as salt + cement=trouble down the road. I plugged the unit it, added salt, regenerated, and everything was fine. No leaks, no problems. This was so easy to install. I like the digital screen. The reason I got this unit was because it so closely resembled my old one. I already knew how to operate it. It would have been nice to just slide it into the old connector but then again who wants to trust a 20 year old water softener valve? Best to go all new. Plumbing was a breeze. Plug and play. Time will tell how this unit does service-wise but I am confident in the Ecopure name. So far, so good and the water is soft again.
Review: Kenmore Replacement - Bought this to replace my 16 yr old Kenmore 280 series softener. Researched other softeners at big box stores and what sold me was that EcoPure is part of Water Channel Partners, LLC...a company that has been in the water softener business since 1925 and had purchased the rights to the reliable Kenmore brand. In fact, the EP31 is nearly identical to the design of my series 280 to the point where installation took all of 10 mins using existing plumbing lines/fittings without modifications. Was even able to insert and reuse the old bypass valve without disconnecting it from the inlet/outlet water lines. Been in service for a week now and our new softener is doing the job just fine. My only reservation in buying online was the shipping & handling in transit. Softeners are not to be laid down on their side and was hesitant to trust those responsible for delivery to know this. However, it arrived right side up and intact. Watched the guys unload it from the delivery truck and they kept it upright while assuring me it was properly loaded onto the truck as well. Could only hope it was handled correctly from the point of manufacturer, too...but, that would be the case no matter if I picked one up locally. Softener was well packed and supported inside the box, too. All said, I'm very pleased with my decision. Hopefully, it will last another 16 yrs. or more. UPDATE: It's now been a year since I installed this softener. Has been working flawlessly.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Type of salt**
A: I use Diamond Crystal “Bright &Soft“ pellets for water softeners

**Q: How many pounds of salt are required for initial set-up?**
A: I filled mine up with about 6 bags from Lowe’s.

**Q: Does this have container or dispenser for water softener cleaner?**
A: The water softener cleanser should be poured into the brinewell tube ( 4" diameter tube with a cap on top, inside the salt tank). Just pop the cap off and pour the whole 16 ounce bottle of cleanser down the tube every 4 months. Once the cleanser has been added, run a recharge at a time when water wont be used for the next 2-3 hours and then run a cold water faucet downstream from the softener for 15 minutes to ensure everything is rinsed out well. Thanks!

**Q: product dimensions seem to be incorrect - what are the dimensions out of the box?**
A: Did not measure.

### ⭐ Crappy Ecopure system
*by L***H on March 13, 2026*

I installed and it worked about a month. Got err 1. Studied troubleshooting guide and was so fed up I called a sepcialist, Rain Water Conditioning of Las Vegas. He noted that the resin was leaking into to sail water reservoir. The pump has cracks and showed evidence of salt deposits through the cracks. I replaced the unimpressive with more expensive device, but work DS with no problems. Returne the Ecopure device to Amazon and got my money back. Very happy now.
