Aquasure Harmony Series Water Softener Plus Iron Removal w/Aquatrol Digital Control Head and Premium Grade Fine Mesh Resin (48,000 Grains)

Great price for, as pf right now, a very reliable appliance. We have very hard water so it will go through a lot of use! It was relatively simple to install, it was harder to remove the old one! The water is now clear & is doesn't have that irin smell.

My husband and I were able to install this water softener ourselves by following the directions from the manual provided and following along some videos on youtube. We have no plumbing experience at all so don't feel afraid to do it yourself if you already have a soft water loop pre-plumbed. We have the 1 inch soft water loop so we purchased 2 sharkbite 24 inch line connectors with 1 inch to 1 inch heads from amazon also. If you have the 3/4 inch sized loop, you can purchase the sharkbite 3/4 inch to 1 inch fitting lines instead. Honestly, we weren't even sure what size loop we had. We just eyeballed it. You could always buy both and return the one that doesn't fit. We went to home depot to get the rest of the stuff, copper pipe cutter, plumbers tape, sanding paper etc... Took us around 2 hours. Most of which was just making sure everything was done correctly so there wouldn't be any leak. If we had to do it again, we could probably do it in less than 1 hour. Unit was not as heavy as we initially thought. We were able to move it with just the 2 of us. It came in 2 boxes. Just so you know, there is no welding involved, the sharkbites will automatically lock into the pipe. That was my biggest worry regarding installing ourselves. One guy has a really good video on youtube from beginning to end. I really recommend watching that prior to attempting the install. I spent a lot of time researching water softeners before choosing this one and I'm so glad I did. You can definitely tell a huge difference in the water quality with this softener. Your skin and hair will feel really soft and amazing after the first use. I'm so glad we decided to go this route instead of spending thousands of dollars with a soft water company that uses scare tactics to get your money. Don't get ripped off. Hopefully this review will help someone that wants to save some money.

Trying to install this using hard piping and Teflon is NOT the way to go. After several tries, it still leaked, so I used corrugated 1” supplies from HD that have rubber washers to ensure leak proof install and quick change out if needed. The settings are a bit involved but I haven’t had to mess too much with the standards to keep clean softened water. All connections are sufficient and quick apart from already mentioned. Uses less salt than I used to and does a nice job. Consider using additive from store once in a while to clean the resin and make it last longer. I got 20 years off last resin but this fine mesh might clog up a little quicker.

I spent considerable effort comparing various water softeners and service options before discovering this unit. All were more expensive, and not necessarily as well made. I called Aquasure three times before purchasing this to decide the right size (AS-HS48D) and the right media (Fine Mesh option). I needed to confirm it would handle 5 grains hardness plus 21 mg/L (1 grain) iron, and decide pre-flush time and, reserve gallons, how many gallons to allow between each recharge. Their representative was very helpful on each call. Ordered the unit, it arrived about three business days later shipped by Amazon Prime (Fedex) in great condition, solid packaging and protection of the tank, all parts and manual included, just as advertised. Had my plumber install it and set the programming to my choices., although most would not need this help. The unit is solid, working perfectly. Compared to a couple local options available, I ended up with a better unit and also saved $500 compared to a similar model (more than $1200 compared to a "full service" water softener specialist provided model with much lower capacity). Programming the unit is easy, it is very well made, and it came with all hoses, tubes, and valves. 2 months in, I am very satisfied.

Easy install and setup. Uses less salt then my previous different softener.

Installation instructions were easy to follow. The company’s customer support is first class. I needed an adapter for 1”to 3/4” pipe and Aquasure sent the adapter for free. The unit has worked wonderfully for almost two years on well water.

Easy to install and easy to program. It’s doing a great job of softening my water. I got the one with the mesh for removing the iron and it seems to be doing great at that too. I would recommend.

Installed three years ago. Solid instructions and simple hook up. It has been working well, I am changing filters every six months, I may change that to every 4 as I am getting some staining from my well water.
