Product Description

Aquios Standard Salt Free Water Softeners
How Aquios Works

Chlorine Removal

Scale Prevention and Removal

Corrosion Control

Sediment Reduction

Chlorine Reduction

The Aquios system incorporates carbon filtration into ever system. This results in the reduction of chlorine odor and taste from your water. Depending upon the model, our systems will also remove chloramine and VOCs.

Scale Prevention & Removal

Limescale is not only unsightly, but can damage your fixtures, heating elements and pipes over time. Our scale prevention media sequesters hard minerals and prevents them from being able to form scale, all without the use of salt.

Corrosion Prevention

In addition to scale prevention and removal, the Aquios system helps to protect your pipes and fixtures from the corrosive effects of hard water. It will assist in minimizing pin-hole leaks and other damage to your overall plumbing.

Sediment Removal

Whether its dirt, sand, rust or other particulate, The Aquios system provides efficient and effective sediment removal at either a five or one micron level and provides full house filtration at every faucet, sink and hose bib.

Watch out for leaks.
Bought this in 2016. It was not difficult to install. I change the filter every 3 months.Lately when changing the filter it had been harder to tighten the cartridge to stop leaking at the top. It also leaks when rotating the top to bypass and back around the intake and outtake pipes. Last night it developed a pinhole leak at the very bottom seam. See pictures. For having it installed for almost 4 years I guess it has done the job although there is little difference in water quality. Cartridges are very dirty when replaced so I suppose it is filtering impurities but not the same as real softened water.

By-Pass / Off / Softener knob leaks. Please see attached photos. For the cost of this filter it is very disappointing that better quality checks are not in-place before shipping it and was a waste of time installing it only to have to remove it and put a by-pass pipe in so I could get water restored to the house. I did request a replacement instead of a refund only because I have all the plumbing in for this model.

Also this filter does NOT include a wrench to remove the filter body. That was another $7.00 from Aquios.

I will post a review of the replacement filter when I get and install it.

Update: Received replacement. Installed it and leaks at the same place.
Junk quality and over priced.
Order again: NO

Ordered a Hensing brand. Installed it 4 days ago and no issues at all. Great product.
