What makes the Kent DropPro Connect different

Most water softeners do one thing - soften water. The DropPro Connect does four things at once.

Softens Your Water

Softens Your Water

The DropPro Connect uses the proven ion exchange process to remove calcium and magnesium - the hardness minerals responsible for scale buildup, appliance wear, dry skin, and cloudy glassware. Soft water flows to every tap, shower, and appliance in your home from the moment it enters your main water line.

Monitors your home's water 24/7

Monitors your home's water 24/7

The DROP Hub connects your softener to your home WiFi and the DROP App, giving you real time visibility into your water system from your smartphone. See exactly how much water your household uses, when your system regenerates, and whether anything unusual is happening - at any time, from anywhere.

Detects leaks and shuts off water automatically

Detects leaks and shuts off water automatically

This is the feature that sets the DropPro Connect apart from every standard water softener. DROP leak detectors can sense even the smallest water drops and when a leak is detected, the system automatically shuts off your home's water supply - protecting you from thousands of dollars in potential water damage. Up to 32 leak detectors can be paired to a single system. 2 detectors and the DROP Hub are included with every bundle.

Saves you money every month

Saves you money every month

Unlike timer based softeners that regenerate on a fixed schedule whether you need it or not, the DropPro Connect monitors your actual water consumption and only regenerates when necessary. For a typical Southern Ontario family of four, this means up to 25% less salt and water used per regeneration cycle - real savings that add up over the 20-year life of the system.

What's included with every Kent DropPro Connect

  • Kent DropPro Connect Water Softener unit (3 sizes available - SC-32, SC-48, SC-54)
  • DROP Hub - smart water management device
  • DROP App access (iOS and Android)
  • 2 Leak Detectors included with bundle option
  • Professional installation by Kent's licensed technicians
  • DROP App setup and configuration by Kent technicians
  • 20-year manufacturer warranty

How the Kent DropPro Connect Works

How the Kent DropPro Connect Works

The DropPro Connect uses the proven ion exchange process to remove hardness minerals from your water supply. Hard water flows through a tank filled with specialized resin beads that capture calcium and magnesium - the minerals responsible for scale buildup, dry skin, and appliance wear. These minerals are replaced with a small amount of sodium or potassium, and softened water flows to every tap, shower, and appliance in your home.

What makes it smart is the DROP Hub, - a device that connects the softener to your home WiFi and the DROP App. The hub monitors water flow in real time, communicates with paired leak detectors, tracks salt levels and gives you complete visibility and control from your phone. When the system detects an anomaly - a leak, unusual flow or low salt - it alerts you instantly and, in the case of a leak, shuts off your water supply automatically.

Is the Kent DropPro Connect worth it

Is the Kent DropPro Connect worth it?

For homeowners who want more than basic water softening, the DropPro Connect justifies its premium in several ways. The automatic water shutoff alone can prevent thousands of dollars in water damage from undetected leaks - a risk that standard softeners leave entirely unaddressed. Add demand-initiated regeneration that reduces salt usage by up to 25%, a 20-year warranty, and full remote control from your phone, and the DropPro Connect represents a strong long-term investment for Southern Ontario homeowners compared to a standard softener.

    Yes. The Kent DropPro Connect is engineered to handle both municipal city water and private well water hardness conditions. A professional water test helps confirm the appropriate model size and configuration for your specific well conditions across Southern Ontario.
  • How much salt does a smart water softener use?

This approach uses up to 25% less salt compared to traditional softeners - reducing ongoing running costs for the life of the system.
  • Does the DropPro Connect require WiFi?

    Yes - the DROP Hub connects to your home WiFi network to enable app monitoring, remote control, and real-time notifications. The softener will continue to soften water without WiFi, but remote monitoring, leak alerts, and app control will not be available without an active internet connection.
  • What happens if I lose internet or the app goes down?

    The DropPro Connect continues to soften water normally without an internet connection. The core softening function operates independently of the app and WiFi. Smart monitoring and remote control features require connectivity to function.

  • How much salt does the DropPro Connect use?

    Because the system uses demand-initiated regeneration, it only regenerates based on your actual water usage - using up to 25% less salt than traditional timer-based softeners.
