Aquasure Harmony Series Grains Whole House Water Softener with High Performance Automatic Digital Metered Control Head | Reduces Hardness & Minerals (64,000 Grains)

Works great. Not too bad to install. I pulled out the old unit, slide this one in. It comes with a "pre-filter" thing. You'll need to have some basic plumbing skills/ experience mark the flow direction on th water pipes in and out of the old unit before you disconnect it. Take a lot of photos of the old plumbing and routing of the pipes and felx hose/pipes before disconnecting anything. All different angles and close ups of fitting, etc. Makes it easier to get your hand around it during install. Follow the directions EXACTLY. takes about 2 to 3 hours to install, program, do the initial cycle, etc. I put 120# of salt in the brine tank and filled it to the top of salt level with water using a 5 gallon bucket. I tried to do the hardness formula to set cycle interval. My math said 3500 gallons (our water is moderately to highly hard). Ran it like that and water at the faucet was hard after about 2000 gallons. I ended up just setting it to cycle every 1000 gallons. Been running now for 6 months used less than 2 40# bags of salt. 2 adults in our home. Cycles about once every 3 to 4 days at 1000 gallon usage during that time. I like the unit. Pretty easy to program and adjust. I recommend it. I'd say it's a 3 out of 5 skill level to install where a 5 would be completely plumbing a bathroom sink, shower and toilet. 1 would be replacing a sink drain trap and a 2 would be changing out an existing bathroom faucet. You'll need some plumbing skills for sure, but it's doable. I hate working with plumbing. I always seem to have little tiny leaks at my threaded connections. It's frustrating, but usually just requires tightening or taking it back apart and putting more thread tape on the threads. Anyway, you get the idea. If you've done lite plumbing work before, you'll be fine. If this is your first plumbing project, get some help from a buddy with experience are higher a plumber. If your going to higher a plumber, talk to them before you order the unit. They may have their own brand that the favor. Some plumbers can be opinionated and may have some valid advice on purchasing certain brands. My plumber, for example, doesn't like AO Smith. He said he gets calls all the time from people who have units 3 years old with problems already. He said dont buy the AO Smith from Lowes (which was what I was going to do).

I recently purchased and installed the Aquasure Harmony Series 48,000 Grain whole Home Water softener with their pre-filter and as of day 1 I am very happy with the purchase. I will be sure to update this review if anything changes. Overall, This is a great deal and the DIY aspect of it is very manageable. I've been advertised whole-home water filtration and water softening as well as having used it at my parents and siblings homes. I couldn't stomach the quotes I received from professional installers and had been warned by my parents to be careful about parts as their system is proprietary and they have to call out a company rep to install the replacement filters. Aquasure seemed to check my boxes and had enough good reviews that I was willing to take the risk at this price point. Installation: Overall, I'd say it was a 2.5 out of 5 on difficulty and that is mostly due to this being the first time I've ever worked on plumbing. This difficulty rating would be greatly reduced (or increased) depending on how your home is setup and how your existing water pipes are laid out. This system is quite large and my water came in next to some concrete steps in my garage - as such I had to install it on the lower level and still plumb it up to the top of the steps where my water heater and rest of the home is plumbed. I opted to use Sharkbite fittings, 3x 1" FIP water heater hoses, and some copper pipe from my local hardware store & fittings purchased on amazon. Assembly of the Water softener system was not difficult at all and was very straight forward, the difficult part was tying it into my water pipes and specifically my biggest challenge was creating a proper drain for the regen cycle of the softener. The regen takes about an hour and 15 minutes and put out a LOT of water during the initial flush so be ready for that. Again, the assembly of the softener itself was very straightforward and easy but hooking it up to my plumbing was a bit challenging due to tight quarters, un-even surfaces, and it being my first time working with plumbing or sharkbite fittings. I'd estimate I spent close to $120 in additional supplies and tools to finish this install. Performance: So far so good, It has only been a day but my laundry came out softer, my water tastes better, and my shampoo in the shower and shaving cream both lather much better. My house is older and had a lot of scale and buildup on fixtures and appliances and I am glad to be preventing more of that from appearing in the future. After I get my first few salt refills I'll be sure to comment on about how long the 80lbs of salt lasts me but it is thankfully very cheap and easy to replenish. Final thoughts: I'm already happy with this purchase and will be recommending it to others. I hope it lasts a long time to come. The product seems well built, the documentation and accompanying installation video were very good and didn't leave me guessing or lost. Everything seems well thought out and appropriately built. I kind of wish the softener outlets came out at 90 degree angles so I could push it closer to a wall but I am making due with flexible hoses. If you can take your time, plot things out, and aren't scared of buying a pipe cutting tool - this is very doable as a DIY'er with sharkbite fittings and 1" hoses. The effect of it on my water was immediate and noticeable, I think the benefits far out weigh my afternoon of putting this together and will pay dividends on my quality of life for years to come.

I recently installed the Aquasure Harmony Series 48,000 Grains Whole House Water Softener and I could not be happier with the results. The installation process was straightforward and much easier than I expected. The instructions were clear, the connections were simple, and everything felt well built and thoughtfully designed. If you are even somewhat comfortable with basic plumbing, this is very manageable. The difference in water quality was noticeable almost immediately. The water feels softer, soap lathers better, and there is no more mineral buildup on fixtures. Showers feel better on the skin, dishes come out cleaner, and even laundry seems softer. It has genuinely improved the overall water quality throughout the house. Overall, this system delivers exactly what it promises. It is reliable, effective, and a great investment for anyone dealing with hard water. I would absolutely recommend it.

The proof of this unit will be in it’s longevity, but the unit itself came well packaged, the instructions are great, setting it ‘s programming was easy and the guarantee was well thought out to be set up easily.

Facile a installer, guide et video bien expliqué. Pas plus compliqué qu’une laveuse a linge. Eau dure 350ppm Fer 0,5ppm Manganèse 0,5ppm

Arrived on time, easy install with great instructions. Only took me 3.5 hours to run all the pex pipe and connections...works great.

It’s working good so far but hasn’t done its first backwash yet. It rinses or backwashes every so many litres of water used. It doesn’t do it every so many days so uses less salt. If we are away and no water used it doesn’t need to flush so doesn’t.

easy install
