What Makes It Different
Aqua-Sensor® Technology
Most softeners regenerate on a timer or estimated gallon count, regardless of what your water actually needs. The Aquasential Smart HE uses patented Aqua-Sensor® technology that automatically adjusts to changes in your water hardness and only regenerates when needed. The result: less salt used, less water wasted, lower operating costs.
Proportional Brining
Only the exhausted portions of the resin bed are regenerated, not the entire tank. This maximizes efficiency and extends the life of your system.
Culligan Connect® App
Monitor and manage your softener from your phone. The Culligan Connect® app provides:
- Real-time salt level alerts with remaining salt days
- Leak detection around the tank and nearby appliances
- Water usage tracking and conservation goals
- Away Mode for remote monitoring while traveling
- Remote troubleshooting support
Dial-a-Softness® Control
Customize your water softness to your exact preference. Easy bypass valve lets you skip softening for outdoor water use, protecting your salt supply and your lawn.
