Express Water Whole House Water Filter System, Anti-Scale, 3-Stage

I'm really impressed with the quality of construction of this unit. Well made and solid. I'm on a private well, and this really helped with sediment and staining. The water tastes great and "feels" softer. Easy to install if you are familiar with plumbing and working with copper or steel pipe or PVC, as the case may be. It's heavy though, so have someone with you to help when mounting to the wall. I live by myself and the sediment filter lasted 6 months before I noticed a pressure drop and decided to change it. The other two filters are still going strong, but I figure I will need to change them all in another 6 months. Two points of advice...When changing a filter, you WILL spill water, so take that into account when mounting it. The other is in regards to the gauges. They work well for showing a pressure drop due to a filter needing to be changed, but be aware that the water needs to be flowing in order to see good results. With all water shut off, the pressures will equalize and all will basically read your input water pressure. When I installed mine I also added a pressure gauge at the input and output lines, which also helps. Customer service is great with no long hold times. I had a problem with one of the filters when I installed my system. After explaining the situation to them, they sent me a new complete set of filters right away, no hassles, no charges...

This is one of the best water filter investments I've ever made. I've now had a system for a year and a 1/2 and changed filters 3 times. I can speak from experience that this is totally worth the investment. I did this as a DIY project and it took me an afternoon to install it with a friend. We added a bypass so we could have water even when servicing the system. Once we turned the water back on we could immediately tell a difference in the quality of our water. It tastes better, smells better and doesn't leave nearly the amount of scale or white build-up that it used to. Replacing filters in our 3 stage anri-scale system takes about 15 invites every 6 months and the filters run about $150.00 for the set of 3. I. Added some photos and a video of the used filters. No cons on this product at all but one word of advice...my buddy installed the 2 stage system and regretted it because the scale deposits were still an issue in his house. I opted to spend a little more on the 3 stage anti-scale and it's totally worth it.

We have been using this for around a month now and we can definitely tell a difference in water quality. We live in one of the worst areas for scale and water hardness and this seems to be working pretty well as my wife has already made comments about her hair being much more manageable after showers. Don't expect this to completely replace a softener, as this won't give you a slick/slimy feel in the shower (good thing imo), but it definitely does the job it is intended to do this far. I can't comment on taste as much as we have a reverse osmosis system as well and use that for drinking, but it's nice to have better faucet water to use for cooking, washing, etc. And knowing our appliances will last longer is good too. Install was a breeze for the most part. I used sharkbite slip connections made specifically for water filters which I highly recommend! Fit perfectly, but I did use the recommended Blue Monster thread tape and pipe dope on inlet/outlet. I stepped up from 3/4" copper to 1" PEX for the rest of the system since I had concerns about the ID of the 3/4" PEX constricting flow and so far it is working perfectly. The only problem I've had is a tiny drip from the PHO filter and the Carbon filter housing that was probably my fault since I didn't re-tighten the housings after checking the filters were shipped properly installed within (they were). After a month of use, I'm surprised at how nasty the 1st pre-sediment filter has gotten! We have city water, but you really don't realize how much gets through until you see the filter go from pristine white to tan really quickly! Only thing I would suggest Express Water add to kit is a small tube of silicone based lubricant for the O-rings as none is included and would be nice to have on-hand...other than that, great system that will hopefully last for years to come!

Very happy with this product. Made in the USA. Easy to install, all pre-assembled and very well packaged for shipment. Arrived quickly. Just had to hang it on the garage wall and hookup the pipes. I like the sturdy frame and water pressure gauges at each stage. I have outside re-direct and shut-off valves with a pressure regulator as well as inside valves. Water doesn't leave spots now and tastes much better. No chlorine smell or cloudiness. Lots of sources for 4.5"x20" filter/carbon cartridges too, although I'd probably get those and the Express Water – Polyphosphate Anti-Scale Water Replacement Filters directly from them.

Put into service 08/28/2022 in effort to correct municipal water quality degradation. After clearing lines of unfiltered water, there was a noticeable improvement. Taste of water from tap is comparable to that of filtered bottled water. Change has also been apparent in feel after showering. Will update review at a later date as follow-up for filter change interval and water quality longevity. Installation isn't overly complicated, but isn't easy either. Level of difficulty and additional material costs will depend on installed location of unit. I installed inlet as 1" and reduced to 3/4" on the outlet to match existing plumbing following the good advise of another reviewer to use union fittings. Also following guidance of reviewer, I used 6 wraps of tape in conjunction with pipe dope on threaded fittings and tightened until snug, resulting in no leaks. Pressure on gauges stays between 55 and 60 psi with no noticeable loss of pressure at fixtures. Unit build is impressive and appears to be of high quality. Filter wrench has sloppy fit on housings, but will do the job. 02-02-2023 Follow-up: Unit has filtered approx. 22K Gal. Stage 1 filter (clear housing) has turned brownish-orange. Water quality and pressure remains equivalent to when unit was first installed.

Installed today and installation was easy. This is a large heavy solid system that and I am impressed with the quality. 4 stars for now as none of the gauges are working. Seems odd that they weren't test before shipping. I will see how the manufacturer handles the defunct gauges before giving my final review.

This is a great kit for municipal water like mine in nj. Takes all the calcium and iron out no more stains in shower. No more chlorine smells. I did put a 5 micron prefilter before the filters to maximize filter life. Best investment I made it’s been over 3 months now without a filter change when there is a difference in pressures it’s time to change filter. Pretty easy install with copper and shark bites. It took me more than a couple hours cause sweated the pipes mostly trying to be cheap. GREAT BUY. SAVES MONEY NO NEED TO REPLACE REFRIGERATOR FILTER NOW AT ALL. Imagine all the iron if it wasn’t trapped in this filter system that’s what the brown is. You will forget what your water used to smell like but when you drain the prefilter monthly and you smell the water you drained out you will smell the chlorine you used to have in the water.

After debating on getting a water filtration system for our house and reading tons of reviews we went with this one. I wish I had taken a picture of before on the water test but had only limited time to test and start to install the system. The before the water was had an oder (like most well water does) taste wasn't that great and left iron rings in the tub's, sinks and toilets. Now on to the good stuff. The system came completely assembled in the stainless steel frame which is a big plus. The gauges were already installed, filters, housings ect.. all your left to get is the fittings and plumbing materials..Let me make a strong suggestion use the shark bite fittings and PEX tubing, yes it's a little bit more but will allow for some flexibility and way easier servicing in the long run. After everything was installed and hooked up I turned on the main valve going to the house slowly and then let it start filling the filters up. Once you start seeing water press the relief buttons on top to keep it from air locking and to help fill fast. Once everything was done and bleed the whole house I already noticed a difference later that evening. Fast forward to now 3 weeks now and WOW!! What a difference we can drink the water now closes smell better and no more rings in the toilet, tubs and showers. Food tastes better as well due to how much we cook all the time. So now this saves us almost 2 hours running to town to fill 10 5gal jugs every weekend. Wish I would of done this sooner cause its worth every penny we spent. Now were looking into a water softener from them to complete our system. I included a couple photos of how I did my system and mine is outside but I built it's own shed protected from the sun and cold. Also a picture of the water test as of now. You will see the hardness is way up there but were going to be getting a softer this week. Hopefully this helps someone make a decision like it did for me reading others. Also to note there customer service is the best Ive ever delt with, extremely friendly and made sure our system was working properly and that we were happy with it. So for the price you get alot of Bang for the buck and a product that really works great.

Très efficace

Good experience for this shopping.

Finally installed the filter system and am happy with this product so far .The only complaint is one of the gauges did not work

It’s been installed in the house for 4 months and I’m still not sure of the effectiveness of this product. It seems like it is doing some thing to the water but not as advertised.

Notice the gauge to your left not working ??
