Effective whole-house filtration for hard water
After four months of use, this filtration system eliminates skin and eye irritation caused by salt-based softeners and avoids slick or slimy water. Hard water buildup on shower doors and faucets begins to dissolve, clothes come out fresher, sinks are easier to clean, and the water tastes fresh. The first month and a half had a hose-like taste, likely from added plumbing. Installation was straightforward with diagrams, though a bypass and pex-to-PVC adapters are needed. Filters should last about a year for a family. Plants thrived all summer.
Pros
- + no skin or eye irritation
- + water doesn't feel slick or slimy
- + hard water buildup dissolves
- + clothes fresher
- + sinks easier to clean
- + fresh taste after initial period
- + durable
- + easy installation with diagrams
Cons
- − initial hose-like taste for first month and a half
- − requires bypass and pex-to-pvc adapters for installation

Effective whole-house filter with useful extras
This three-stage whole-house filter is well packaged and includes a metal rack and individual pressure gauges. Installation requires careful sealing; wrapping the coarse threads with plenty of Teflon tape is advised, and the filter threads are reversed. One gauge arrived non-functional. After flushing, water tastes better and rust and sediment are removed. Filter replacement is needed about every six months, and a pre-filter is suggested to extend filter life. A bypass setup allows household water use during maintenance.
Pros
- + well packaged
- + includes metal rack and pressure gauges
- + improves water taste
- + removes rust and sediment
- + can be wall-mounted or placed on rubber feet
- + bypass allows water use during maintenance
Cons
- − one gauge arrived non-functional
- − installation requires careful sealing with Teflon tape
- − filter threads are reversed
- − replacement filters are somewhat costly

This three-stage whole house filtration system is well built from heavy materials and includes gauges for monitoring flow. Professional installation with sweated copper pipes and a bypass took a few hours.

Effective Whole House Filter for Iron and Odor
An existing filter system did not remove orange water, staining, or odor, even after replacing the filters. Installing this system cleared the water, eliminated staining on toilets, dishes, and clothing, and removed the smell. The sediment filter turned brown after two or three days, so extra filters were ordered. Installation was easy, and the unit felt heavy enough to seem like quality equipment without being hard to install. Another system has worked well for three to four months.
Pros
- + clears orange water
- + removes odor
- + stops staining on toilets, dishes, and clothing
- + easy to install
- + feels like quality equipment
Cons
- − sediment filter turns brown after two or three days
