Water Softener, Compact
An all-in-one cabinet softener: resin and salt in one cabinet, 13 by 18 inches. For homes of up to about 4 people on city water.

The Canature EcoSmart ECS39 is an all-in-one cabinet water softener: the resin and the salt share one cabinet 13 inches wide, 18 inches long and 43 inches tall, so it fits where a two-tank softener will not. An integrated meter in the bypass means it regenerates on the water you actually use. Sized for homes of up to about 4 people on city water.

How It Works
Soften, regenerate, refill salt
- 1
Softening
Hard water flows through high-efficiency fine mesh cation resin inside the cabinet, which takes out the calcium and magnesium that cause scale. It also removes up to 10 ppm of ferrous iron.
- 2
Metered regeneration
An integrated meter in the bypass counts the water your home actually uses, so the softener cleans its resin only when it needs to. That is how it uses up to 60% less salt and 77% less water than a softener that regenerates on a calendar clock.

Salt in the same cabinet
The salt sits in the same cabinet, up to 170 lb, behind a push-release hinged lid for easy refills, with a brine safety valve for extra overflow protection. It needs a drain nearby, and salt is an ongoing cost.

Why This System?
Choose the Compact when space is tight and the house is on city water with up to about 4 people. Everything is in one cabinet 13 by 18 inches, it regenerates on metered use rather than a timer, and Canature backs the system for 7 years and the tank and cabinet for life. For 5 or more people, or a well, the Large is the better fit.
Every system includes a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and is eligible for our BWS Care plans: a yearly inspection of the salt, the brine tank, the resin and the settings.

How Often Should My Softener Be Serviced?
A softener does not use replaceable filter cartridges, but it does need regular attention. We recommend a full inspection once a year: salt level, brine tank, resin condition, hardness test, and a programming check. Total Home Care includes your annual softener inspection alongside your whole-house and RO maintenance, so every water system in your home is covered under one plan.
