Contaminant reduction testing and resulting values are based on Rated Flow Rates indicated above. Values will vary based on faster or slower flow rates.

Review: Works great - I bought this system for my mom's house. It was easy to install and so far works great.
Review: No regrets zero taste water - 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

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how often do you need to change cartridges?**
A: I have city water and change my pre-filter every six months.  You really only need to change it out when you start losing water pressure.  The big blue filter you see in the pics have various life spans.  The longest being 10 years or 1,000,000 gallons.  Based on my water usage of a family of four, I'll hit 1,000,000 gallons around 15 years.

**Q: How does the 600,000 gal filter compare to this one as far as size is concerned?**
A: Except for a longer pre-filter and the addition of a post-filter, the 1,000,000-gallon Aquasana is essentially the same size as the 600,000 one. Hope this helps.

**Q: Can you get it with a larger line and higher flow rate?**
A: System comes with1” openings on both sides of filter housing,  you can reduce with adapters as necessary . Flow rate is 7gal /min at 1” with min of 40 lbs of street pressure from a city line but double check with them to verify as my system is a 4 years old now.

**Q: We bought a house in al  with eg300 installed outside. the system is about 5 years old. is there any protection from the cold weather?**
A: No weather protection is standard on this unit. The only way to weather protect it is by enclosing in a heated space.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Great Value. Some things could improve.
*by A***R on September 6, 2024*

First the positive. We have a new custom-built, rural home with a well. The water is potable and good quality. I bought this initially for the softening and for the ultraviolet bacteria treatment. Shortly after moving in and before buying this system, we discovered that our well water was rich in iron. This was evidenced by the brown, easy-to-clean stains in our toilet bowls. About a week after install, my wife noticed the water from the tap tasted better. We also noticed the water was "cleaner" and the staining in our toilet bowls was not returning. Given what it would have cost to buy a similar system from one of these local water treatment companies, this product is a HUGE value. One company estimated $12,000 and another $7,000. Even though I paid a professional plumber $300 (including parts) to install it was still a bargain at $2,100. (Bought it during Amazon days.) That brings me to the "some things could improve" part of this. After emptying the boxes and laying out all of the parts, I collected the cardboard to toss it. One box was quite heavy. I thought, "That's weird." I looked inside. It was empty. So, why was it so heavy? I turned it over. There was a large bag of hardware taped to the bottom. It will forever remain a mystery why it wasn't inside the box instead, and to add to the mystery, after the system was installed, I realized we never opened the bag? What were these for? All of the fitting included with this system assume you will run 1/2" PEX-B. PEX-B is the type that uses metal crimped clamps. It is also the type that necessarily chokes the flow to less than the inside diameter of the PEX. Despite including all of these fittings, there was no tubing. So, assuming I received everything they intend to include, you will need a trip to the hardware store. Fortunately, even though all the fitting are for 1/2" tubing the inlets and outlets on each filter and the ultraviolet canister support 1" plumbing. This was a plus for us, because we had a 1.25" feed from our pressure tank to this system. Our inside water pressure was not impacted by this system. Our plumber used PEX-A tubing and fittings. An advantage of PEX-A is no leaking, no diameter reduction at the fittings, and we used PEX-A throughout the build. The disadvantage is the requirement for special tools, thus the hired plumber. One last note on the parts: the short blue filter canisters come with a wall mount bracket. When that bracket is screwed onto the top of the filter canister, the surface that is supposed to mount to the wall is 3.5" from wall. Go figure. I had to install a 2x4 on edge on the wall and then screw the mounts to the 2x4. I mentioned this to customer support. They said they knew about this. They suggested adding the 2x4. I suggested they extend they extend the bracket, or, at the very least, add a note to the instructions. Lesson Learned: read the instructions completely BEFORE install. I did not. I was suppose to flush water through the big blue tanks before installation. The consequence was days of gray, aerated water and a lot of faucets burping air as all the air between the particulates in the tanks worked itself out. Not a serious issue, but it could have been avoided. Conclusion: Based on the short time we've had this up and running, I highly recommend the product. Research the alternatives. Research what their customer's say. I think you too will find this is a great value in the world of water treatment.
