Why is the 1" threaded NPT adapter not included? You're including the shutoff valve with no way to attach it. Had to go to Lowe's and Home Depot only to find both brass and PVC adapters leak since there's no washers provided either. Had to use Teflon tape and screw it in really tight to stop a leak.

The water smart was prive well within my budget, the features such as detecting low salt and I receive the notification on my smart phone was the reason I bought it.

This this water softener works great and softens the water accurately. But the only but is that I can not get the Smart system working to check out everything through Wi-Fi. It just won't connect no matter what I do. I spent a lot of time online trying to figure out what other people have done and nothing helps. Regardless, it still keeps on softening the water.

The only critique I have is I want the new GE app to work, but the rep told me it would be a couple of months (summer 2021) before that happens. So I'm using the old app which has fewer features.

Let's start by saying that as far as the customer service, they get a 10. And I say this because I had an issue with the wifi app and had to call GE and everyone I spoke to was great and very helpful. I would give a 6star to this product if everything had worked great from the get go. Unfortunately the wifi receptor is not working and will get a call back from tech support in 2-3 working days. We did feel the water in the shower smoother. And have noticed that the detergent last longer. Very easy to install and program.

Bought this to replace an old water that had seen better days. After setting this one up, our water became clearer and the stains started disappearing from our toilets. This uses much less salt than our old softener that had 3 regen days a week. And the water has gotten that soft feeling without feeling slimy. I had no problem hooking up the softener or the WIFI. All in all this seems to do what it's supposed to do and I look forward to many years of service.

All WiFi features do not work. It will tell you how many days till you need to add salt. It will tell you how much water you used per day. It will not close the electronic ball valve. Good thing I checked before installing the ball valve in line on the main water line. This valve and feature is designed to let you turn off the main water line from the App if you develop a water leak in your house. The feature does not close the electronic ball valve.

Stopped by my local home depot one night with the wife. Stopped by this water softener, and thought it looked pretty cool. So we decided to take this bad boy home, and had our local plumbing company come install it. So far the unit has worked out great. My wifes dandruff is gone because of this unit. So now I no longer have to deal with her seasonal snow flakes.

Softens the water and removes iron
JackBel

I installed the GE GXSHC40N water softener myself. Installation was extremely easy. I've had it running for 3 weeks and it has definitely made a huge difference in the water quality. We no longer get any mineral build up or rust stains like we used to. I'd give it 5 stars if the "Smart" features were a little better. The "smart " app is quite limited in what you can actually control and monitor. If you don't need/care about this, GE sells an identical "non-smart" version for about $100 less.
We have a lot of sediment in our well water, so I installed a 100-micron spin-down pre-filter, then the water softener, and finally followed by a 25-micron and then 5-micron cartridge filters complete with bypass valves at every stage. Water in our house has never been better.

Install it was quite easy. I did it myself along with a 4 stage filter prior to the softener.
As for installing the softener, all I needed was a male 1 inch nipple for the automated shutoff valve, the blue device on the inlet for the install. I used sharkbite 1 inch hoses for both in and outs to the house as well but that's optional. Set up was a breeze as I just followed instructions in the manual.
Setting the hardness is about the toughest part and will take time as you can adjust the hardness from 1-125. I started at 100 and went down about 12 times and is currently sitting at 43. Higher you set it, the oily feeling is more apparent and you will regen every night which uses a lot of water, 37 gallons and some salt. I need to have my water tested.
I seldom use the smart feature now as I've been in my garage working on many projects and have been able to just walk up and go through the settings.
Love it so far and would recommend. Definitely saves space compared to normal softeners with a separate brine tub and tank

I'm no water softener expert. I'm a pretty handy guy and installed this myself. I went to Home Depot intending to purchase a different model, but this was all they had. Thinking itd be nice to have access vÃa wifi to the device, I bought it. Set up was easy enough. It came with an electronic water shut off valve, but frustratingly did not come with anything to connect it to. You'll have to purchase a separate 1" x 3" long (Male on both ends) nipple if you want to take advantage of the valve.
As for the app, it's mostly not very useful. You can see your water usage over time, and shut off the water valve. You can receive a low salt and flow issue notifications as well. You are not able to adjust your hardness levels or initial or schedule recharge.
After initial setup, getting the hardness setting correct was difficult without actually testing the water with a hardness test, so to be able to adjust this from the app would be nice.
