General Electric pnpr55w Water Softener 55000 Grain

Product Description

The General Electric pnpr55w is a professional-grade smart valve water softener rated at 55,000 grain capacity. It is designed to remove hardness minerals from residential or light-commercial water supplies, protecting downstream plumbing, fixtures, and water-using appliances from scale buildup. The smart valve control automates regeneration cycles based on actual water usage, reducing salt and water consumption compared to timer-based systems. Licensed plumbers and water treatment technicians are the primary installers for this type of equipment.

The pnpr55w suits whole-home softening applications where high-demand households or properties with elevated water hardness require a larger-capacity system. Its 55,000 grain rating makes it appropriate for larger households or installations where extended intervals between regeneration cycles are preferred. It is installed on the main water supply line, upstream of water heaters and the distribution system.
