The best Water Softener in 2025
Best Water Softener 2025
The best water softener is one from Mooiwater. You might think, “Well, that’s like a butcher praising his own meat.” That’s why we’re happy to objectively explain what makes the difference between a good and the best water softener.
The recommended water softener depends on several factors: the hardness of your water, your budget, your water consumption, and the available space in your home. Below, we’ll answer these questions.
Although many water softeners are similar, there are still a few important differences to pay attention to.
What to consider when buying a water softener?
One of the first things to look at is the size of the water softener. This depends on your water consumption and available space. Mooiwater offers efficient, compact models that are ideal for high consumption and limited installation space.
Another major factor is the type of softener. The most effective ones are ion exchange softeners that use salt. There are also alternatives such as CO₂ or magnetic technology, but only salt-based softeners actually soften the water.
Price is also important. Purchase prices range from a few hundred to several thousand euros, depending on brand, capacity, and technology. Don’t forget to include the costs for installation, maintenance, and consumables like salt.
A frequently overlooked factor is salt consumption. More efficient models make a big difference in long-term costs and sustainability.
Finally, it’s wise to check user reviews. These provide a realistic view of real-world performance. Mooiwater softeners consistently receive high ratings.
Large or small water softener?
Whether you need a large or small water softener depends on your water usage and how much space you have. If you don’t have room for a large one—such as when installing it in the meter cupboard—a smaller model is often perfectly fine. Even the smaller Mooiwater softeners can handle large capacities, so it’s often unnecessary to choose a big one.
If you do have more space, you can, of course, opt for a larger softener. A larger model provides more convenience since it has a bigger salt tank, meaning you’ll need to refill it less often.
At Mooiwater, we offer both small and large models. During installation, we bring different types, so if your chosen model doesn’t fit, we can easily install another one.
Wich type of water softener is most suitable?
There are different types of water softeners. The only ones that truly work are those that use ion exchange—in other words, softeners that contain a resin tank and use salt for regeneration. All other types, such as magnetic or filter-based softeners, only work partially or not at all.
There’s also a difference between electric and non-electric water softeners. Both work well, but non-electric devices come with several disadvantages. They’re more expensive and often lack useful features such as a vacation mode (to prevent bacterial growth) or a salt-level alert. They also consume more salt.
The most suitable water softener is therefore an electric model with smart features. All Mooiwater softeners include these smart functions.
Wich water softener offers the best price/ quality ratio?
The Excellent MiniPlus from Mooiwater offers the best price/quality ratio. This softener stands out for its compact design, allowing it to fit in almost any meter cupboard. It has more than enough capacity for households of up to six people and includes useful features such as vacation mode, salt-level alerts, and internal overflow protection. Combined with its affordable price and extremely efficient salt usage, the Excellent MiniPlus offers the best overall value.

Salt consumption in water softeners
There’s a significant difference in salt consumption between various water softeners, which can greatly impact running costs. Mooiwater offers the most efficient models in this regard. They use proportional volume/time-controlled regeneration, making them extra efficient. They also use small salt tablets instead of large, more expensive salt blocks often required for non-electric softeners.
