Aquasana Whole House Water Filter System & Conditioner - WH-1000-CS

Just had rhino installed in our second home, and love it just as much for eliminating chlorine taste and hardness.

My aquasana performs just as I hoped it would. I can drink the water from the tap and don't have the dry skin feeling I used to have. I am very pleased with my unit.

Don't let the sticker shock persuade you. Buy this system right now. I never knew how water could actually feel until now. Even putting my hand under a faucet feels different, and by different I mean good! I found myself rinsing off more in the shower because it felt like I still had soap on me! Buy it, buy it, buy it..

We immediately noticed the difference in the quality of the water. The water taste a lot better than city water. No more after taste and water is so soft. Fast delivery. Instruction manual is very clear and easy to understand. However it will need a lot of time to get it installed depending on how it will be setup. But it is very easy to put them all together.

After installing the system we found the tap water to have a great taste, the laundry smelled greatThree months after the installation we changed the Prefilter

The quality of the water is great. The company called to confirm my order to ensure it was the right product for my installation before shipment. I appreciate this attention to detail. The brackets for the pre and post filters don't reach the wall of hooked in series with the large rhino filter and conditioner. While the design of the filter housings has improved, there is still work to do.

I bought the whole house filter/softener combo and had it installed by a plumber. I believe it took him about 4 hours. Came home and it looked great. Noticed the difference almost immediately. The water no longer smelled of chlorine and I could drink the water from ANY faucet. Wonderful! No more showers being nearly choked by the smell of chlorine, and my skin was definitely less dry. Our city water is really harsh. After a bit though, we noticed the dishes were not getting clean in the dishwasher and there was a terrible white film on all of them. I had to rewash everything. I bought Lemi-Shine in the hopes that it would help (I was already using Jet Dry). It helped with the film, but the dishes were still not clean and are almost gritty. The toilets are also a mess. They have a horrible ring and just never look clean any more. The "softener" part of this set up was a waste, in my opinion. We're going to have the old salt softener installed in line with the filter (hopefully before the filter) because we just can't live with the quality of water as it is, at least as far as cleaning the dishes and toilets. The water is just to hard. tl/dr - filter is 100% worth it, skip the softener.

Scale reduction was noticable. Flow rate is very bad after using it for 2 years. Filters have been replaced on time. Now the flow rate is almost 3 GPM. When someone is showering and another faucet is turned on flow rate goes less than half. And here im CA we have 1.8 gpm shower head. Very unsatisfied with the minimal flow rate.

I've had a salt-type water softener for over 40 years....thought it was time to invest in a salt-free system. I spent some good money on this unit and now have hard water. Soap does not lather up. I have to shampoo twice. The tap water does not taste good. Every time I turn on a faucet, I get angry. I am sorry that I got this system...now I have hard water and am out some $$. I wish I had just gotten a new "old-style" water softener...it would have been cheaper and I would have nice, soft water.

Every time I talk to them I get a different story. The brackets for pre and post filters are too small. I had to make my own brackets. After I bought the system they said it couldn't be installed outdoors. Instructions suck.
