AquasanaWhole House Water Filter System - Carbon & KDF Home Water Filtration - Filters Sediment & 97% Of Chlorine - 1,000,000 Gl - EQ-1000

Great filter. Great taste. Did not lose much water pressure. Not the easiest to install. The two plastic connector pipes connecting the main (center) filter to the pre and post filters kept blowing out when we turned the water on. Our pressure (75 pounds) was well below the max pressure (100 pounds) for the unit, too. Nothing we did made those plastic fittings work. We went to the store and fabricated our own METAL connectors. You may need to do the same. See attached photos.Overall, I would purchase this unit again and the second install would go smoother knowing what I know now. The filtered water tastes great and I already notice a difference in the texture of my hair after a shower.

I have some mixed feelings about this system. Mainly with the Salt Free Conditioner. When I was getting ready to install this system I had everything sitting in my garage after flushing and while planning what I was going to need. I noticed that the sunlight shining into the somewhat dark garage was shining through the lower Conditioner tank. It's basically empty. The top small tank contains carbon but nothing in the bigger bottom tank. Aquisana tech support says there are plastic beads down there but I could see the shadow of what little water was left in there after flushing and when I shook the tank it sloshed freely with nothing to dampen it's movement. That being said, the weight of this unit did match what tech support said it is supposed to weigh so I'm assuming that all is OK. Another thing to be aware of is the fact that the Aquisana label that is attached to these tanks states that the equipment is Made in the U.S.A. but right beside the big label is a small sticker that says Made in China. The Salt Free Conditioner is $700 for a somewhat empty fiberglass tank with some special jetting, a small carbon filled tank and some fittings. Now, all of that is the bad news. The good news is that the system is working well and doing what it's supposed to do. We have very foul smelling and tasting well water and this system has made it quite pleasant. I would say that over 99% of the taste and odder problem is gone. Our water is still fairly hard but this system does not soften water. I'm also not looking forward to the time when the tanks have to be replaced as they are quite expensive. When installing this system you might want to put in a few extra swivel connectors and isolation valves to make it easier to change filters and tanks. I also have doubts about the warranty when the system is installed by anyone other than a paid professional.

We are on town water in a small town and we get very high levels of chlorine in our water. We can tell when the water has had a new dose of chlorine because we can smell it for a few days when we turn on a tap. After learning about the problems with ingesting chlorinated water, I began filling up jars of water and leaving them out to evaporate the chlorine for a day before drinking. This made a huge difference but I wanted to be able to drink from the tap with even less chlorine and didn’t want us to be absorbing it through our skin anymore. So, we did research and this water filter was recommended as the best for our purposes. We have been very pleased with this filter so far. The water tastes great and I feel so much better about my family washing in this water. There is no hint of chlorine taste in this water. So glad to have better water with this filter! Highly recommend!

I have tried so many different types of water filtering over the years and never seemed to be satisfied. So far, it works!! My water tastes better (previously there was a moldy taste to it) and my hair and scalp are responding like something is wonderful - and I did not change shampoo! Every time I wash my hair it is less fragile and less static. So it has only been two weeks but I am very pleased and HOPEFUL for the long-term outcome!

This system will be used on a remote well system that supplies a large house.
