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

I think the Softener is pretty good quality, it took another $100 of plumbing parts to install. I removed the Culligan Water Softener that was at least 20 years old and installed this one. Water seems a lot softer and the installation process took about 4 hours to complete because of the plumbing reconfiguration. (And i had to keep running into town for more piping, Shark Bites etc.)

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.

First off, after the initial flush and regen, this 48K Grain whole home softener does it's job VERY WELL. Assembly was not bad considering, directions are laid out and with font that I could actually read. I would purchase this unit again, of course depending on the longevity I can get out of it... which would be destemmed hopefully way down the road. I would like to point out, everything in the 2 boxes completes your unit (even silicone grease) except a 1/2" ID poly tube; used for overflow protection in the brine tank. This is noted as optional in the directions, I believe I will purchase this tubing and install it as if the float inside the tube fails, I could have a salt slurry mess all over my laundry room floor. My two quirks or negatives are: 1. Programming is several pages long (in the instructions), it's laid out (with images) but I don't think it needs to be this complicated. Related to this problem is the display panel. It's 30 year old LCD technology, having blocked out letters or hard to intemperate lower case letters. The upper case are fine, still an old display that could meet an updated one and the Mfgrs cost would not be that significate. SEE MY IMAGE of the head, I made a "Cheat Sheet" to help me (years down the road?) when I may need to re-program, or, having to quickly click maybe the "Cancel Regen". I will try to keep the instruction manual in a poly bag taped to the wall by the tank. 2. While unit is regenerating, IT IS LOUD!. Sounds like Niagara Falls lol. I know from experience, some of this noise comes from the turbine device that counts the Gallons (or Liters) being used. I have an LED faucet that is noisy because of this, but not nearly to the extent of this unit, If your softener will go in the basement, then you may be fine. Unfortunately, out Laundry room is close to our master bedroom and the timed 2am (or I went with 4am) regen is an awakener.

easy install

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.

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

It’s working good so far but hasn’t done its first backwash yet. It rinses or backwashes every so many litres of water used. It doesn’t do it every so many days so uses less salt. If we are away and no water used it doesn’t need to flush so doesn’t.

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