Express Water Whole House Water Filter System | ULTIMATE PROTECTION | 3 Stage Home Filtration, Top Tier Heavy Metal + Anti-Scale Filter, Highly Reduces Scale, Chloramine, Chlorine, PFAs, Lead, Arsenic

So this is a super nice whole house filter system. I did have it professionally installed as I did not want to use shark bites or other type of connections. For my home I wanted all the copper pipes sweated together. Just my preference. It is very well built of heavy materials and the gauges are a nice touch to make sure you have good flow through the system. Took my plumber a few hours to install it with a bypass system so I can isolate the filter system if needed. I’m on well water and the water has nothing bad in it but has always had an earthy taste is about the best I can describe it and has always had some sediment in it. Was also staining shower pan and items like that. Very noticeable difference after installing this unit. The water has zero taste now and is much clearer for sure. Easy to replace filters and overall I would say this system is a good buy.

I've waited 4 months before reviewing. Installation in my case was a breeze, because my house had a traditional softener system in it previously when it was built, but when I bought the house, the previous owners had gotten rid of it about 10 years or so before selling the house. Fine by me, the salt-based softeners all have something in them that cause my eyes to swell up and close when I wash my face or shower/bathe in that water, and my skin to break out in red hives. I was looking for something else to alleviate the hard water spot woes in southeast Tennessee. Let me tell ya, this filtration unit is fantastic! No skin or eye issues, the water doesn't feel slick or slimy like with a salt-based unit. I've also already noticed that some of the hard water build up from the last ten years, even on the Glas shower doors has started to dissolve. In some spots and on some faucets, after about two months, I was able to scrape it off with a finger nail and a little force. Clothes in the washer are coming out fresher now, my sinks are easier to clean, the taste of the water is now fresh and fantastic! I will say, for the first month and a half or so, it tasted a little like a drinking water from a new hose in the yard, but I think that may have been the pipes and plumbing set up I had to add in order to hook it up. Now though, it's great! I sent a water quality report and a photo of the water pressure reading to their customer service from my utility company and they replied back after a few days and said I should get the 100,000 gallons or so use from all three filters. At that rate, my family will be on the first set for a year (I'll replace them annually, even though we won't hit 100,000 gallons). When installing, look at the diagrams, don't forget to make a bypass for when you change the filters, so if you have an issue, you can default to direct utility water. I had to get creative with some extra 90 degree joints, small sections of pex, and layering some pipes next to each other to fit the tight squeeze of the gap in my pipes, but it was very easy to do. I drew out a diagram of what I needed and bought a couple extra sticks of pex and pex to pvc adapters, just in case. If you have pex, you will need a pex to pvc adapter, the areas to thread into the filtration usit should be PVC, I tried a pex threaded one and it dripped for a day, then tried with the pex to pvc threaded adapter and it stopped leaking and has worked perfectly since then! This filtration system will most likely last for years and years so long as I change the filters as suggested and my garage never gets cold enough for a hard freeze, which I doubt it ever well. The design is great. I've had several neighbors who saw the box by the curb when I first got it wait, and then ask after a while how I like the filtration system. I've shown them the setup and shared the link, and I know of at least one that is getting one as well. I was worried about water plants with it, but they have thrived all summer, and I have no complaints as of yet! Seems very durable and I'll update this review if any issues ever pop up.

***Annual review below***Bought this for my home to deal with questionable city water. Sometimes it tastes weird/like chlorine and will leave our bathtub, sinks and toilets a wreck. Not to mention the horrible calcium build-up in the lines needed dealt with.After spending roughly $50 in parts (PVC), I set to work. The installation only took maybe two hours while taking my time. I also needed to reverse the flow of the filters, which the instructions to do so are provided. I've got to say, after everything was said and done, I was impressed with the immediate difference in the taste of my water. I had some of the "old stuff" just in case I needed it, and compared to drinking the water after the filtration system, the old stuff smelled and tasted like I was drinking water straight from a pool. After the filtration system? It actually tastes like nice refreshing water. Not only this, but I swear my skin feels better after showering to boot.The only hiccup I experienced was that one of the gauges wasn't working initially, but after a suggestion from customer support I found out it was 1 turn too tight. All gauges work correctly once I loosened it a full turn.While it may be too early to give it an honest, long-term review, I'm impressed with it so far. If you're looking to improve your water quality, you can't go wrong with this system.**UPDATE: 7/8/26**After owning the system for a little over a year now, I can attest that the system is worth the price, no question. I've just replaced my second set of filters (first set was replaced in early January, so roughly six months between each set), with each time you can start to taste when they need to be changed. Other than that, no issues whatsoever.Now, I will applaud the customer service from Express Water. A few weeks after installing the new filters back in January, I was experiencing low pressure throughout the home. After a bit of troubleshooting and verifying, I was able to deduce that the ACB filter was faulty or "clogged" and was causing my issue. I emailed Express Water customer service throughout the troubleshooting process and they sent me a new ACB filter free of charge after the verification.Solid product, you'll never want to go back to unfiltered water again!

Easy install if you have a little plumbing skillWorks great it will reduce your water pressure a little but I still get great flow through it. I've had mine installed since 3/26 and been very happy with it.

We absolutely love this system! I only drink the water from my house now. My partner installed it within a hour. Easy to set up.He is handy tho so might need some help if your not.
