💧 AO Smith Whole House Water Filter System - High Performance Carbon Filtration, NSF Certified - Removes 97% Chlorine - 600,000 Gl, 6yr Lifespan - AO-WH-Filter Review

I installed this anti-calc filter along with her entire house filter about 4 months ago. It was easy to install and appears to be doing the job of preventing mineral build up on pipes, fixtures and appliances.

We have very smelly and cloudy well water and this system solved our problems. It was pretty easy to install if you have some basic plumbing skills. We also installed a water leak detector and an automatic water shut off just in case. The system goes through a self-cleaning cycle once a week and is a bit noisy, but not critical. Overall it was a great purchase, solid product and solved our unsightly well water problems!

My salt water softener needed replacing and not knowing how well the descaler would work I bought both a descaler and salt system. Despite the degree of hardness 30, I didn't have to use a water softener. The descaler is doing its job and the salt system is idling. And with its claim that it lasts 6 years or 600,000 gallons, my salt system is useless. It's amazing how smooth and tasty my water is.

I expect this descaler to last the six year warranty period. The unit is easy to install and deposits on dishes etc seem to have improved. I am planning to install a two stage filter to improve the taste of the water. If, like me, you don't like salt, this is a good compromise, but it doesn't soften the water. The fittings and associated connections are plastic, but I've tightened them fairly firmly and they aren't broken or leaking.

I have an AO Smith 40,000 grain softener with potassium instead of sodium, an AO Smith whole house carbon filter and this air conditioner. Hardness is about 28 GPG, so my fabric softener replaces about 25 GPG with potassium, allowing about 3 GPG of vital minerals to flow through the conditioner and then polish through a charcoal filter. I installed everything myself and am not a plumber, so not much to say about toilet feng shui, but our water is as good as any bottle and our dishes look…

We live in the country, everything is near a well. The water is full of calcium and other minerals, plus we get a lot of sediment and rust. The dishwasher doesn't work and everything is covered with mineral deposits. I have installed several sediment and charcoal filters but they are not removing the minerals that are preventing the water from being purified. We had a water softener but we hate that feeling and don't want to deal with bags of salt. I looked at many options and costs and the…

I bought a descaler and a water filter for the whole house. The ball valve on one of the devices was defective. It's the same valve for both, so I'm not sure which one came with the broken block. I contacted Revane and they gave me AO Smith to call. I was hoping they would just replace the valve as it is a small part. When I called AO Smith they told me to contact Revain about damaged parts. I explained that the part was not "damaged," it was a manufacturing defect due to the valve not working…
