I think this guy is trying to help, but I have had a whole house Aquasana filter system for 2 years. I am on a well. It has been awesome. No complaints. Easy to maintain.

The 28 year old copper pipes in our house had a 3rd leak in the slab. In addition, the rubber flap in the 3 bathroom toilets where deteriorating prematurely. In researching this, I believe part of the issue is the Chloramine the water company places in the water. I found several reports indicating issues with Chloramine copper pipes and rubber flappers. I choose the Aquasana designed to remove Chloramine. It has now been 3 years, and now my toilets are running great, we did a water heater cleaning and it look like brand new. No issues after 3 years. Regarding the free shipping and discount, I always believe these companies sell these systems "On Sale, Free Ship, etc.", and that is the best system. But for the cost, it is a hell of a lot cheaper then plumbing issues, and or health issues, with Chloramines, etc.

I've had mine for 7 years. Have had absolutely no issues with it. Water tastes great.

I’ve had a whole house system for 5 yrs. We love it! No scale just crystal clear water! No problems with system

Going on 3 years with the Aquasana System with all of the bells and whistles. Absolutely love it and can now drink the water and it tastes good! I change the pre-filter every month and the post-filter every three months. While it may not be the best system for everyone, it works perfectly on my well water system.

Thank you so much, this was very educational and thank you for the savings

Thank you very much for your expertise. Watching your video was very helpful.

Thank you for your help and honest opinion ✌️😊 Digging further down the questions to ask are why is there 10 times the chlorine needed to kill all bacteria in the water? Why is the fluoride in the water to begin with? And if we are the filter why do we continue to poison our waters essential for all life? Remember we’re all safe in the long run, but if we want to improve our lives now and for our children the change starts with our choice every day. Buying a whole house water filter is a good choice to make for a start 😊 Peace and Much Love everyone.

Hello. Thanks for your video. I live in Edmonton, Canada and use Aquasana for about 10 years I think. Can't really complain as it was serving us fairly well at least removing chlorine. Now it got clogged over the course of time and needs a replacement, however looking at their website there's no more mentioning of their system removing anything but chlorine and chloramine as opposed of a few years back where there was a big range of supposedly filtered contaminantes. So now being confused I started to shop locally and been introduced to Fleck systems. Do you have any opinion on these? Thank you.

Thanks for this video. What system would you recommend for someone looking for the best, longest lasting, low maintenance, no budget and has a well?

I'm on a well, existing salt system , looking to replace with a NuvoH2O. I'm thinking that I only need the softener part of the system as I installed a sediment filter years ago when that catches the debris that comes out of the well before it goes through the system. Am I thinking right? I'm a disabled vet and the Agent Orange has rattled a few cells. There's only myself and the care taker so the usage is pretty minimal. What do you think about the system? Thanks

Great video, thanks for sharing your experience!

1. Water hardness is the mineral saturation in the water. Filtering out the Calcium and magnesium will soften the water without having to add salt that clumps with those minerals to make them settle out of the water easier. 2. Paper doesn't discolor in water... The collection of rust which is very common in water systems builds up due to collection in the filter... If you place a white piece of paper in filtered water it will not "Discolor"...

What is the best system then to get rid of the NASTY chlorine taste and feel in my water. We have city water in a small Texas town in a new built community and although hardness and pH level are OK, the chlorine taste has us looking for a whole house water filtration system that is affordable and efficient. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

I totally liked your explanation about the water softeners and demerits about aquasana... 50% discount could be a red flag, but usually they up the prices and offer the discount. While 50% discount is a red flag, most of the other water softener and your recommended product websites don't really put the prices on their website so they don't know what their worth is or they are not transparent about it?

Our well water smells like sulfur, would this get rid of that smell?

I had Aquasana whole house system for 3 years and everything this gentleman says is accurate. I was only surprised he did not speak of the extreme pressure lost as the carbon filters began to clog after 18-24 months. We were not able to run two faucets simultaneously. Aquasana is a complete waste of money.

I installed this in my home on a weekend. I'm not an average joe working a 9 to 5 though. I also called the county Inspection office and a permit is NOT REQUIRED as this is nothing more than an appliance. Thanks for looking

To be fair, whenever there is a 50% off situation they are really never 50% off. Its 100% retail at 50% off. They will not take a loss.

so i thought i had a decision made for ourselves as well our son's house before our plumbing on our new builds starts in 2 weeks but after seeing this i do not know for sure now. I was leaning toward the springwell system then the aquasana system now i am more confused.

Thanks you very much for the video, you take all the marketing out of the equation and give us true information before we make a decision keep up the great work.

I do get the point of the UV being redundant on city water however there are stories where people have gotten fatally sick when city water plants had failures and organisms were able to grow in city water. It is a fairly cheap insurance policy!

So what is a good water system? Is culligan any better?

So to summarize your gripes with this system: (1) there are redundant components to the filtration system (e.g., UV light, extra filtration stages), (2) you can’t backwash the filter, and (3) the tanks are disposable. Regarding UV, fine just don’t purchase that add-on if you don’t need it. Regarding the no backwash… would be nice to be able to backwash the main filter but the pre and post filters are cheap and easily replaceable so backwashing isn’t necessary with this system. The fact that the tanks (i.e., main filter and softener) are disposable is actually a plus in my mind - quick and easy system maintenance… and they are supposed to last 10 years and 6 years respectively (not 3-5 years as you mention here) sooo not seeing any issues here. To each their own though!

What do you suggest instead?

Thanks for the info Great video 👍👍👍👍

There is no wrong in water treatment when you know what you want and know what you are trying to accomplish. However not all systems will be at peak performance when not knowing what a particular unit does and type of water it will be treating. I been in water treatment 17 yrs..

Thank you for the information

So what does a good system fully installed run done by your company?

You spend a lot of time talking about the negative aspects of this system but from what I've seen if you don't want a salt based system, as there are a lot of negatives there health wise, then it's a very competitive product. Do you have a review of different salt free systems?

I have not only 1 Pro whole home aquasuana system, I have 2. I have one at my home and one at my office. I was so impressed with the 1st system I bought a second. Ive had both for over 5 years and have ZERO complaints. My plumber charged roughly $400 for complete install. This included installing a gallons meter so I can see exactly how many gallons of water has been filtered. I would purchase again! I believe this guy means well but I don't agree with his presentation.

What do you recommend?

Very useful thank you

Very good info!

If your on a Well, the water quality better be relatively good. Because where I live I have seen a couple of these installed by someone or some other company, and I have had to take these out. I work for a Water Well drilling pump company. I'm the water treatment department. We have such bad water around here in California because the drought. Iron is 7ppm+ Manganese is .4+ Ph is in some cases 5, because we do have some geothermal underground. Hardness can be as high as 60 TDS as much as 870+ So that is just some of the main crap lets not talk about the Boron Levels or Arsenic levels Silica We are getting to the bottom of the barrel out here. You need a backwashing valve Or an RO

Any top picks for a good water conditioning system?

Im in an apartment with access to the hot water tank. Is there any full system to accommodate me?

Wow! Almost bought a Aqua Sanna yesterday.

This aquasana water filter and softener doesn't work. After years I had tons of scale deposits and water quality wasn't great when using to filter city water.

This is a great option for my house in Mexico.

Yes the information was useful.

I don’t know what your talking about this system is awesome I don’t like salt system it’s bulky to many times you have to add salt I have in my house and its awesome

You're assuming permits, inspections, and licensed plumbers are required. Maybe in the city, but not where most people would use this product.

What is the replacement filler cost?

This system is less than useless. Had it for a year before I took it to the land fill. Don’t waste your money.

does the product can remove Uranium Excess?

had two of them for 5 years. they work in SW Florida

Would rather go for a more conventional backwashing filter

This guy sounds a little mis-informed regarding salt-free systems. Its a salt-free water conditioner. Doesn't claim to be a water softener. It doesn't filter or remove the hard minerals, it coats them. If you are on a well, you really should have a pre-filter (or spin-down). You never quite know what is going to get sucked up in the well pump.

Companies are smart maybe 50% to start with their equipment but obviously profitable bussines is selling filter replacement cartridges every 6 months that is real multi million dollars bussines

So what is a higher end system that has a back wash?

I have psoriasis that became worse when I was showering daily. I stopped showering for about a month and is almost completely gone! Doctors want to blame it on your body and that you should take medication for life, when in reality is that the body is doing what its supposed to. Your oil protection on your skin is destroyed by the hard water, so psoriasis occurs as a way to protect you from it. When you use medication and prevent your body from forming plaques, the hard chemicals enter into your muscles and a skin condition turns into something terribly wrong called psoriatic arthritis. My uncle had it, he couldn't move his hands, his whole body was red and inflamed. He died at 53 from gut complications (they flushed their intestines which made them twist). Big pharma is going to kill you 100% if you go their ways.

What are your thoughts on Aquasure?

A red flag to me is someone who beats a product to death, yet won’t offer any alternatives. Thanks anyway for your opinion. Be it warranted or otherwise.

good video

We have the Aquasana RO3 water filter. It is awful. Constantly having to troubleshoot leaks. Do not buy. Maybe older versions are ok but the more recent units are no good.

Good deal! it filters out overtreated magnesium and chloride and other chemicals in the water! I felt it when my prefilter cap was leaking (after 6 years of usage, the plastic started degrading) and I had to bypass the water and I could tell the differences ,,,very very smelly of chloride, magnesium brownish all over my RO system under the kitchen sink... I just replaced my prefilter housing and put it back to service ,,,,feel much better with water going through Aquasana Whole House filtration system again (I have softener, filter tanks with UV light device) UV Light do not kill bacteria or virus? hmm 6 years and continue counting!!

Aquasuana whole house filtration systems have a warranty of 10 years or 1 million gallons filtered, whichever occurs first! Not sure where he gets 3 years from? Also, Aquasauna systems are cheap annually to maintain!

Watchout their water for life program that's the key to the 50% off!

Why do i get the feeling that his company doesn't or can't sell Aquasana but can sell Pelican or others? My red flag is a review or recommendation that is contradictory (the Aquasana can cost $2K or more but the Pelican which can cost $2500 is cheaper?), or factually wrong (Aquasana is not selling a salt-free water *softener,* they're selling a water *conditioner* and say they do not do anything to reduce water hardness or TDS). Also, my city/county (in Western NC about 2hrs from Charlotte) does not require a plumber or permits for a whole house water filter system. I don't know if I'm going to get an Aquasana or SpringWell or something else, but this review didn't provide any reliable or trustworthy information to help me make my decision.

Here is a video of our Off-Grid rainwater system with an Aquasana system. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rbl_i6iJypjPkmw.html

Aren’t they a manufacturer tho? It’s not a water softener they sale.

Let me guess, your system is better.

What water system does you like

Says the guy that offers a $500 instant rebate...lol

Good information but it appears you are beating a dead horse over and over. Why can’t you recommend the best, highest quality whole house filter based on your experience.

🙄got to have a license plumber and a permit 😵

Pull a permit? Get it inspected? LOL!

Home Depot sells it, so the manufacturer is removed from the equation.

You are a salesman and Aquasana is your competitor. Shocking that you don’t recommend their product 😂

Had a salt softner for 20 years. Couldn't control my High Blood pressure. Recently moved and was shopping for a new softner system. I noticed, however, my BP has dropped dramatically. I dont know whether having salt pour over my body, during my daily shower, had any effect on my BP but I think I'll pass. Another consideration of the resin softners is the resin. At 20 yrs, the conditioner tech wanted my to replace the system because he was afraid the system would fail and the resin would get into our pipes . I called my plumber and he td me he sees it often and the cost to clean those resin beads out of the house pipes. Again, I'll pass. We need new water cleaning tech that isn't harmful to your health or pipes and that doesn't cost absurd amounts of money.

You must have been upset with this company.

waste of money

Lost me because of the government over reach at 1:57. This water filter should have nothing to do with government over reach or licensing. If you mess up, it's your own fault.

You are misinformed.
