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

I have two of these and both operate like a dream. Much prefer these over the old Whirlpool style which always seemed finicky to me. Install was fairly easy, I had much prep work to do replacing an ancient Fleck water softener. Did have one problem. The first set of keepers on the head leaked terribly. I had to take that part off, make sure the keepers were on correctly and make sure they were very tight. Double check yours before startup with a 1/4" nut driver. Everything else worked as expected. After the first regen, I can already start to feel a difference in water softness and soap lathering.

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 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!!

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.

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

easy install

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

This thing is incredible, we had hard water plugging everything before installing this and now not even a water spot anywhere. The water tastes and smells amazing and my wife loves that her hair feels healthier and cleaner after she showers. Plus you use less soap because it suds up so much more with softened water.
