Aquasure 32,000 Grains Whole House Water Filter Bundle with Automatic Digital Metered Control Softener and 75 GPD RO Reverse Osmosis Drinking System | Removes Hardness | Ideal for 1-3 bathrooms

I originally tried to hire a local home services company to install the system. However, the quote was $1100 and the installer told me that because the resin tank was laying on its side, it was no longer useable because of chemical mixing. His advice was to buy his system for three times the price! I initiated a return, but after tech support assured me that chemical mixing was BS, I decided to keep the system and try to install it myself. Luckily, 90% of the plumbing was already done because I was replacing an old broken water softener. The instruction manuals were so well-written and comprehensive that although I'm no plumber, I was confident I could do it. I went to Lowes, got some pipe adapters to match the supplied connectors and the best flexible hoses they had. Also, I cut off the existing IN and OUT connectors and replaced them with sharkbite pipe fittings with the proper hose connections. No soldering required! The adapters and hoses cost me another $100. I installed the water softener carefully following instructions (see pictures). I then took on the reverse osmosis system for my kitchen sink. I was again lucky because I did not have to try to drill through my ceramic sink. I placed the filter faucet right next to my main faucet (see pictures). This installation took about a half-hour and it was a breeze. After performing the initilization procedures, the system is working great. You can taste the difference in the drinking water, and the regular water feels completely different. My house has three full bathrooms and so far so good. This system saved me $1100 in install costs and I highly recommended it especially for those who are somewhat DIY competent.

Installed 2 years ago and working great. Install was easy enough for a homeowner to do on their own. Seems to be good quality.

The water is really soft now.

I am giving a four-star rating for only one reason: the installation. The purchase is a 64000-grain water softener system complete with a top-of-a-line RO system and a whole house filter. I considered Culligan and Kinetico systems but found them to be too expensive for my budget. I am a DIY type of guy and looking at the installation online convinced me this would be a simple 2-day installation. A plumber quoted $300 dollars for a one-day installation. Has previously stated, I am a DIY type of guy. I scheduled one day to install the PEX-A piping to the filter and run the PEX for the house system. The next day installed the ball valves on the PEX and configure the piping to the tank and cut over the house system(see photos.) Problems surfaced with the manifold clips and knowing how tight the control head should be on the ION tank. The installation instruction failed to tell me where to place the manifold tightening clips on the tank or rather I missed that important part in the owner's manual. The manifold immediately blew out from the ION tank upon applying pressure. Shut the system down, had to reinstall the manifold on the tank, re-check the manifold alinement and seating, and re-installed the holding clips on the second screw boss. That problem was solved (see photo) with a day lost. Two days later a leak between the control head and the ION tank, flooding my utility room. Called a plumber friend who saw where the leak occurred and quickly solved the problem by tightening connection the between the control head and the tank. It took both of us to rotate the ION tank filled with water-soaked resin while holding the control head in the correct alinement with the piping and manifold. After those problems were solved the system came online with no leaks. Next tackled the RO system, considering my age, dexterity, and plumbing ability, I believe the RO installation went smoothly. Placed the filters on a drawer slide to conserve space and accessibility (see photos). Found the instructions were explanatory and easy to follow plus the package included all the necessary fittings for installation. The question is would I recommend this package to a friend, answer is yes. I would also recommend having a licensed plumber do the installation.

Water softener has been working for several months and doing a good job. However, the spigot for the reverse osmosis filter that came with the bundle could stand to be much more robust.

Had this system about 9 months. Have not had any issues and my water feels wonderful.

This item is used in conjunction with a particulate filter and chloramine filter. This item is a water filter and is of a capacity that exceeds the requirements for a one-person home application. My water is the cleanest Ever!

I bought this softner 2 years ago to replace my 30 yr old one. Nothing was wrong just upgraded so i thought after 1 1/2 years it stopped using salt and you can see from the pic what happened. I have spent over 6 months trying to get the company to help me and basically got the run around. Try this or try that. It shouldn’t be that hard to figure why its not using salt its not rocket science. Finally totally frustrated i went out with that ine and replaced it with a different company. Wasted 600.00 dealing with them. Buyer be ware.
