Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I took a leap on this system as there were not any reviews when I bought this system. We purchased a cottage up north earlier in 2016. Water was tested and it came back fine for drinking and is a deep artesian well about 300' down. As you would expect, there are a lot of minerals in the water and it is very hard. From the start we noticed an orange/red build up in sinks, toilets and shower/shower head. We also were having an issue with random orange iron/rust stains on white sheets and towels. I did some research and spoke to my plumber and he confirmed that the heavy rust/iron issue would not go away long with a water softener and within two years we would destroy it with the sediment buildup. I was hoping this would alleviate the issue of rust/iron and also take the mild sulfur smell out. My plumber said the system installed just fine off main water well line. It is a heavy system so he mounted to a 2x4 top and bottom that was screwed into my foundation wall. About 1.5 hrs. of install time and checkout. I purchased all new towels and did some test runs through washer. I was very happy to see the bright white towels still looked bright white and there was zero staining. We have now had the system in three months and I am completely satisfied and very happy with the results. The newer towels still are bright white, no stains on any of them. Also the shower, sinks and toilets have no orange/iron build up. The first filter is the sediment filter and it is clear. You could instantly see the orange/red color of that filter and I can't believe the amount of sand and crap that the filter is taking out. You couldn't see it in the water, but it obviously was there. The sulfur smell is pretty much gone. Now just has the well-water smell. I was worried it would cut pressure to the water, but it has had zero affect. I looked at other systems and this was the only one that had the gauges and pressure release already built-in. A big plus in my opinion to be able to watch the pressure and easily de-pressurize to change filters. Express Water customer service is great! I called them to make sure the three filters I was running should stay the same. They said based on my conditions I could even run another KDF filter behind the other KDF for the third one. That filter removes the iron and heavy metals. Right now the system is fine "as is", but I will run two KDF's in future behind the sediment. The sediment filters are pretty inexpensive when purchased in quantity. The KDF is the pricey one, but Express Water said it will last a good 6 months or more if sediment is changed every 3 months. No power to run system so no electricity wasted. If you have bad iron/rust issues on well water, I highly recommend this system. Hope this helps!
