North Star 35,600 grains 2-in-1 Water Softener/Whole Home Filtration
The North Star 35,600 grain capacity 2-in-1 water softener and whole home filtration system combines water softening (removing hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium) with built-in filtration for chlorine taste and odor reduction. It’s designed to give households softer water for plumbing and appliances while also improving the taste and smell of water throughout the home.
🔹 Key Features
-
2-in-1 Design
-
Water Softener: Removes hardness minerals to prevent scale buildup in pipes, fixtures, and appliances.

35,600 grain system—sized for medium households (typically 1–5 people, depending on water hardness and usage).
-
-
SmartSoft™ Technology
-
Learns household water usage patterns to regenerate only when needed.
-
Optimizes salt and water use, saving money and reducing waste.
-
-
Demand-Initiated Regeneration
-

-
Reduces salt and water consumption compared to timer-based systems.
-
-
Low Salt Monitor
-
Alerts when the system is running low on softener salt, preventing downtime.
-
-
Built-in Bypass Valve
-
Makes service and maintenance easier.

🔹 Considerations
-
Requires regular refilling of salt pellets in the brine tank.
-
Carbon filter media is built-in and not user-replaceable—system is designed for long life, but eventually media performance diminishes.
-
Not designed for removal of well water contaminants like iron, manganese, or sulfur—additional pre-treatment may be needed in those cases.
