I installed this system in conjunction with a big box store water softener to treat our rusty well water in northern Illinois. Installation was straight forward and went without incident. Prior to installation, our water would look clear coming out of the tap, but the toilets, showers, washing machine, dishwasher, and any other fixtures or appliances would get substantial orange rust stains on them within a few days of cleaning. The water definitely tasted like well water, but it was drinkable in a pinch. After installing the filters, the taste of our well water is comparable to that of bottled water. The rust buildup in the appliances and fixtures was reduced by probably 80% or so, but not completely removed. I just changed my first set of filters after six months, as I was uncertain what my service life would be given our level of rust. We also noticed a minor drop in water pressure in the last couple weeks, suspected filter contamination. The sediment filter was very discolored, probably in the middle of the color chart found on ispring’s site, definitely in the ready to change range. The other filters appeared to be in good condition, no notable discoloration. After the filter change, water pressure returned to normal. Going forward, I plan to change the sediment filter only every four months, the other two filters annually. I will reevaluate that as time goes on, but I think that will be sufficient based on my observations from this first cycle. I think this is a great product that definitely changed or water quality and drinkability. I highly recommend. Read more
I live in rural Tennessee and I have an artesian well. The elements are very strong here. These filters help clear the sediment, help the water taste better, and eliminates the odor. It does not reduce the water flow at all. They do have to be replaced about every 6 months, but that's pretty normal. Initially when first installed it leaks a little, but it seems to stop on it's own very quickly. You will see a grayish color (that's the charcoal working, not harmful) in the beginning as stated, but it goes away quickly. I had the water tested by an independent company and they were shocked at the results. It softened the water and lowered all of the major elements in the water. They said we bought an excellent system. I don't even have the red stains from the iron. It's amazing!!! Read more
Works perfect for what we needed Read more
I installed the iSpring Whole House Water Filter System in the fall of 2023, and it has been outstanding! We originally used the following three-stage setup: Sediment filter Carbon/CTO filter Iron & Manganese filter The next year, we switched the middle filter to a GAC + KDF filter after learning that our local water company uses chloramine. (The original carbon filter wasn't fully removing it, and we noticed the concentration seemed to increase at times.) The new combination—sediment filter + GAC/KDF filter + Iron & Manganese filter—has worked great for us. (The GAC/KDF switch was a helpful tip from iSpring customer service once we mentioned the chloramine issue--a filter that wasn't available at the time of our original purchase.) Customer service has been excellent throughout: At the time of the original purchase When we switched to the new middle/stage 2 filter Most recently, when our water pressure suddenly dropped a couple of months after replacing the latest filter set (which indicated a problem with one of the filters) Sean responded quickly to our water pressure concern. Once we confirmed our system with a past invoice, he immediately sent out replacement filters at no charge. Overall, we've been very happy with both the system and the support! Read more
These replacement filters are exactly what I needed for my system. They fit without any issues and the water quality improved right away. The sediment filter catches a lot of debris, and the carbon block does a great job making the water taste great. Installation is straightforward. Good value for a complete set. Read more
effective (I think) but WAY too overpriced Read more
Genuine replacement cartridges for isprings large whole house system are surprisingly economical, given their performance, and how long they last. In my application, they are removing quite a bit of iron and sediment from a well system. The water is noticeably softer, and the resulting lack of deposits on fixtures throughout the house is dramatic. I’m sure it will prolong the life span Of my appliances. Count on replacing these more often than the rated one year, lifecycle, depending on usage and incoming water quality. Read more
We have had this filtration system for a few years now and I find it awesome!!! We have well water and even though we probably don't need it, it gives me peace of mind and water that taste great! The filters last a long time. Thank you0 Read more
