Aquasana Whole House Well Water Filter System - Softener Alternative w/ UV Purifier, Salt-Free Descaler, Carbon & KDF Media Filters Sediment 97% Of Chlorine 500,000 Gl- EQ-WELL-UV-PRO-AST

Had this system in for a week and very happy, I passed on the water conditioning and uv add one because people complained about taste and flow issues. I personally love my water now. It has zero taste, not even chlorine, better than bottled water in my opinion. Just feels like you have something wet cold and refreshing in your mouth. As far as flow issues. I haven’t noticed any change in my water pressure n any part of my 2 bath two story home. Both shower running dishwasher and laundry and plenty of pressure.If your the diy type and have done a water heater then you can probably do this yourself. Kit comes with everything show to connect pre post and tank filters together. The shut off valves reducer and t connector are all pex. If you was to run pvc or copper you would need to connect manufacturers to get different fitting mailed out. Also have to buy your own crimp rings and a crimper and a stick of pipe for the bypass loop. I’m didn’t own a crimper so this project cost me an additional 100$ at the hardware store with the crimper tool being 50$. I honestly feel like it would of cost the same to have a plumber install because he would have that tool snd material already.As far as assembly I’d like to start by saying read instructions, I skimmed, I flushed as requested per instructions then I assembled as I would of installing water heater, then the next day I read the instructions before going to the hardware store to get the crimp rings I needed for pex conversion. Clearly stated in instructions it says use thread tape and do not use pipe dope. Well I had already used pipe dope so figured I’d give it a try anyway because I’ve never had it fail me before, sure enough it was right. I had leaks at both reducers from 1” to 3/4” ends. I disassemble and wiped relatively clean, put thread tape on on all threaded connections and no issues since

The product does what it says to the tee. Water treatment made a huge difference on everything. The shower. The laundry. The water filter tasting from the faucet. All amazing. Installation was as expected. I took out all the parts and planned exactly how to install with the cutoff valves and direct line bypassing the filter system also. It's Doesn't day that you need to buy pex piping, clamps, cutters, as well as shark bite splitters which allowed me to go from copper to pex and back without issues. Also. Ground wires needed after. All in all direct another two to three hundred in parts and tools. Still not bad. Followed the instructions to a tee and the install went smooth and without any leaks. The parts and connections are plastic so you have to be careful not to over tighten. Needed to buy pvc cement as well as pipe tape for the threaded connections.The star of it all is how the water is soo soft and clean and feels amazing on my clothes, in my hair, and on my skin. The water has done a three sixty and feels amazing. Soo happy I installed it. Zero issues although I didn't need to contact the manufacturer or amazon. Bought the unit on sale during a Black Friday event and saved money on top of it all. Very happy.

The media could not be loaded. 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 and flushed each for 30 mins solid, then turned the water on for 30secs and off 30secs for 30 mins just to be sure it was clear(lots of ppl complained about the black fine specks appearing in their appliances). When I hooked the system up I had to flush them in my house for another 4 hours and still they kept showing up in my bucket. As of today - 3 weeks after the install they are still showing up in my post sediment filter and I’ve emptied it 5 times now.3. All the connections and threading is plastic. I hooked the system up using plumb thread tape and the pre and post filters leaked. I replaced the brass connections and used 3 wraps with pipe tape, leaks. Replaced the brass and 4, 5, and 6 wraps of tape, leaks. Eventually I bought two 50$ culligan sediment filters (because it was day 3 with no water) to replace the pre and post filters and no leaks. Plastic threads screwed into plastic connections which then screw into more plastic threads.... for 2000$ you’d think it would be made of something more durable or even something that works.4. If you have to drain the system the standing filters hold ALOT of water, I had to change the system so many times because of leaks, tweaks etc I put shutoff valves at each end of them so I could cut the pipes without dealing with massive amounts of water over and over. This systems comes with 3 shut offs, no brass connections or anything else you need to set it up. The gray plastic connectors that fit between the standing filters leak so just throw them out and get more ‘ 3/4” brass to pex ‘ nipple fittings.5. Customer service is a bad joke and Aquasana has a lawsuit against them for selling defective junk.5. Between the pex crimp tool, brass cutter, pex pipe cutter, pex side crimp tool, all the brass connections, pex rings, replacement sediment filters and replacement METAL 90 degree pex sleeves(both the 90 degree plastic bends broke) i spent another $600.The system is installed and working though the water tastes weird.So I have a filtration system I don’t trust at a huge unexpected cost and because I wasn’t willing to pay a licensed professional to install it... I have no warranty.Lastly, somehow my purchased was marked as a gift and so I won’t even show that I am a verified purchase.My pictures are sideways, sorry. I wanted to show a few configurations I tried as I replaced parts and changed the setup. I only have 6’x6’ wall and I needed room for my cats litter box too. I’m adding two more sediment filters one pre and one post because I don’t trust my well or the standing filter.The video shows a test setup that I tried to see if I needed to add more post sediment filters because of the fines and of course I do. Which I will do next paycheck.This review is all over the place, it’s 5am and I had to finish before I curse their name and go to sleep.Final verdict:Aquasana should burn in hell and probably will if they put their own system in their factory.
