Fantastic water filtration

I wanted to wait awhile before writing this because I wanted to see how the system performed. I did have a my well company install it. It took him much of the day. I know, it seems pretty straight forward but after watching him, I'm glad I had them do it. I will say that this system is designed to be installed indoors hence the system being designed for Plex piping. You can not use this outside because it deteriorates in the sun. I didnt have a place inside for it. so he converted it over to…

Pros
  • Water Filtration & Softeners
Cons
  • The system may not be able to remove pesticides and other chemicals

Read BEFORE you buy anything from Aquasana.

So many reasons not to buy this system or anything from Aquasana.1. Tried to cancel the order 30 seconds after I purchased it because I forgot to go to my amazon smile page to get a portion donated to charity. The order could not be cancelled. Nor can you return it through amazon. That was the first sign this was going to suck.2. The warranty is void if you install this yourself.3. When flushing the standing filter and conditioner before use I followed the instructions hooked them up to my hose

Pros
  • ‎EQ-1000-AST
Cons
  • The system may not be suitable for large families

So far so good in my review

Had a plumber put the system in. It was something he had not done before so did much research on it. Did a good job. Definitely not for a home owner to put in on your own!

Pros
  • Clean, Great Tasting Water From Every Tap In Your Home - Removes 97% of chlorine. Plus, activated carbon is effective at reducing organic chemicals including pesticides, herbicides, and VOCs while allowing for a flow rate up to 11.8 gallons per minute.
Cons
  • May not save you money in the long run compared to other water filtration systems

We installed this product 3 months ago. We live in an area with serious hard water with lots of lime. Generally I am very satisfied with this system. I was not wild about the pex tubing -- although it is said to be the future I still like copper pipe for it's durability, just don't trust plastic to hold up for 10 to 20 years? The filter does seem to help prevent water stains from building up but I am not 100% happy with the taste of the softened/filtered water -- we still use a Zero water…

Not easy to install but once it's up.

A pain in the butt to install. Took a professional licensed plumber several hours and a trip to Home Depot because some necessary parts were missing. The color is just terrible and stands out like a sore thumb. Instructions are lacking so def. have someone experienced put this thing up.Once it was installed though, the water quality improved markedly over the next few days. Remember it takes some time for the "old" water in your home's pipes to flush out, and especially from your hot…

Pros
  • ‎46 x 9 x 54 inches
Cons
  • The replacement filters can be expensive

Hard truth about water pressure

*EARLY REVIEW, if this doesn’t update over time then my opinion still remains unchanged.I want to really like this and from the water side of things I instantly felt the difference in water quality. Just in the shower alone the water feels better and our hair doesn’t feel as dry. I think as a filter it’s doing it’s job however I have not tested it to provide actual facts.The reason for this review is because of the pressure. After installing the pressure from a nearby source seemed fine. Once…

Pros
  • ‎Filter Tank, Salt-Free Descaler Tank, Pro Install Kit
Cons
  • The system may require a lot of maintenance for optimal functioning

CLEAN WATER for my opinion

This is not our first system, so we have some experience to share. We have had this system for a few months. It has made our skin and hair feel softer. It’s not like the salt systems that make the water slippery and slimy-like. It’s affects are more subtle. There was awful hard water stains in our new (to us-6 years old) home. Once we got all the white hard water stains off tile, granite, faucets, sinks, tubs and toilets it has not come back. All drains are draining faster now too. The water…

Pros
  • ‎Blue
Cons
  • The system may not be as effective in areas with poor water quality

Does the job for my opinion

Had a professional install this. While I was having my water line to the house replaced I went ahead and had them do this. This was more than the young plumbers could handle. They had to call in a senior plumber to do the job but it was easy for him to do and it provided on the job training for the younger guys. It takes up a fair amount of space in my garage, about four feet wide and by the time you give it access space sticking out about a foot and up from the floor about to five feet high. I

Pros
  • Need to have some plumbing knowledge to install
Cons
  • The main filter works as expected but I did not get the prefilter that was supposed to come with it.

Great installation. High quality parts.

This review is based on the installation and mechanics of the system. I cant speak to the water quality or longevity of it.The system installed very easily. Everything mated and sealed up well. I didn't use included fittings and instead used the Sharkbite push-to-connect. It made the install much easier to fine tune. Currently my water pressure is 87 psi and I have no leaks (I will be regulating down to 55 psi this week). Everything seems to be sturdy construction. Instructions were clear…

Pros
  • ‎USA
Cons
  • May not be able to remove viruses from the water supply

Conditioner is junk, filter seems good

There will be know difference in build up on shower heads, faucets and anywhere else one would look, but now I have add hot water heater element which is less then a year old, for the shop sink built last March. Wasn't happy with conditioner before, now I have no faith in it at all

Pros

Cons
  • The system may not work with well water

They did not ship all the material.

I am glad I bought this system for our well water; however, they did NOT ship all the material. I was missing the UV power cable and only received two-thirds of the pipe connectors. They most likely added the material for the system without the UV kit? I am lucky I had a good plumber friend help me install this as we had to run to the store and buy material and convert the piping to get the system to work. Nothing worse than finally getting the material to purify our water and not receive all…

Pros
  • Water Softeners
Cons
  • The system may not be able to remove sediment from the water supply

great customer service

i update my review from 1 to 5 start. i have a slow system and call customer service. they replace with a new system within a week. i learn that the system design for 3500 SF and one story.i install the replaced system and everything works fine.I bought and installed it in Nov 2021. I write the review after 8 months of using it.To be fair, it works; however, very low water pressure. Definitely not 7gmp as advertised.After we installed the system, we noticed the water pressure dropped…
