These are the four numbers behind the score

Every product on this site is scored the same way. Each of the four counts the same.

Flow ratedata pending· gallons per minute

Flow rate is how much water it can pass at once. Too low and your shower fades when the washing machine fills.

Capacitydata pending· grain capacity or rated filter capacity

Capacity is how much work it does between refills or swaps. Bigger homes and harder water need more of it.

Warrantydata pending· warranty term

A long warranty on the tank tells you what the maker expects the tank to survive.

Cost each yeardata pending· yearly salt, media or filter cost

This is what you pay after you own it. We work it out from the maker's own replacement price and its own swap schedule.

We do not take this unit apart and we do not run it in a lab. We read what the maker publishes, we do the running cost math, and we show you the figures.

Here are the full specs

Every row here comes from the maker's own pages. Where a row is empty, the number is not published.
