Aquasure Harmony Series 48 000 Grains Whole House Water Softener w High Efficiency Digital Metered Control Head 48

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. Read more

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). Read more

I bought this water softener to replace a deceased "schmulligan" softener. It was way less expensive than going with the big name guys. So easy to install. It really is a "plug in and play" type of unit, if you've already had one installed. The instructions are clearly written, short, and super easy to follow. I followed the directions step by step and within 24 hours, my water went from 450 ppm to less than 25 ppm. I did have a little help. My husband brought the resin tank downstairs using a dolly. It is quite awkward to carry and quite heavy too. Once it was in place and ready to rock and roll, I calculated how many gallons of water we used (average American used approximately 75 gallons a day) multiplied by how many people are in the household and used that as a baseline. AquasureUSA.com has a calculation section on their website and I just used what was recommend. Set the control valve with the proper time, how much soft water we needed and just walked away. I did purchase two 1" FIP to FIP stainless steel flex hoses and two brass male connectors to attach my whole house filter just before the softener to filter out a whole bunch of gunk prior to the intake valve. It was basically just wrapping plumbers tape around the fittings, attach said fittings to the water intake and outlet, attach the brine tank hose and discharge hose, plug in the control valve and run it. I am not a plumber. I am a 63-year-old disabled woman who is not afraid to try, so you CAN do it too. Just read the instructions completely through, get a Philips screwdriver/socket wrench (my personal choice), a Plumbers wrench, an adjustable wrench and your patience. Wrap about 7 spins of the plumbers tape (in the correct direction - clockwise) attach female hose to the male fitting, tighten connectors firmly and turn your water back on. Super easy. Time consuming, but not hard. If you can turn a wrench, you can do this. CAUTION: The valve control head, (the thing on top of the tank) is made of plastic. Be careful about cross threadding and over tightening. You certainly don't want to do that. Make sure you lube the O-rings, which will be included with this purchase. One final note: Thank you Aquasure for the whole house filter. It was truly a pleasant surprise. That too was a simple install. My water is clean, clear and soft! Very, very happy with this purchase. I would highly recommend this unit! Thanks again Aquasure!! Read more
