Collected by Trustpilot.comOnly water filter I use .
Collected by Trustpilot.comWe live in a small town in Missouri. Twenty years ago, the town's drinking water was top notch. Our small town experienced a growth spurt since then. The town's drinking water developed a very putrid odor as our town outgrew our old water system. We tried a Britta water filter on the faucet, but that did not solve the terrible smell when you took a shower, washed laundry, or did dishes in the sink. The aqua pure 117 water filter system did the job for the whole house. Excellent product. Highly recommended. Dave Wicka Willard, Mo.
Collected by FiltersFast.comOur town has purifed well water that is very hard. Toilets and pipes were coated with scale and sediment within 3 months. I installed a 2 stage Aqua-Pure whole house filter and I am very satisifed with the results. Stage 1 is 2 AP420 sediment and scale filters. Stage 2 is two AP117 filters for taste. I change the filters every 5-6 months so the cost is minimal compared to buying questionable bottled water. When I change the Cellulous AP420 it has changed to dark brown from its original snow white color. I have been using this system for 6 years and happy with the results. I have not experienced any drop in water pressure and do not experience any staining from the hard water.
Collected by FiltersFast.comI and my family have used the Aqua Pure 110 and 117 filters for 25 years. I run the water first through the 110 and then the 117, (this isn't hard, they are installed about 2 feet apart where the water leaves the pump and heads to the faucets). I have tested the water repeatedly over the years and it always tests very clean and drinkable. Using a cistern as we do, we want to be safe. We buy trucked in water during dry spells, so it isn't all rain water and I put a some bleach into the water holding tank 6 times a year as the chlorine will kill germs, but these efforts are completely supplimented by the silent, day-to-day workings of the filters. There may be better filters, but the casings, o-rings and entire setup have not failed or broken in a quarter of a century. Thanks!
