Local vendors ask for , 5800 dollars for similar System, water change at home right away, strongly recommend hire a person to install , it is a job of a full day if you don't Have all the tools

Larger than expected and installation was not terrible difficult. The set up favors left to right installation from main line to house but with my house I had to install right to left so it took some more PVC than expected but in the end, all is well.

Pros
- simple setup
- fairly easy install
- salt usage is exponentially less than commercial softeners like water boss
- RO system is easy, looks great and filters are easy to install/replace and customize (switched stage 4 filter to alkalinization)

Cons
- Wish the power cable was longer for the softener head unit
- RO tank and filter set up is on the bulky side so expect about half your under-the-counter space to be taken up
- connecting valve to softener tanks is held by metal clamps and the unit leaks from those clamps. Had to go back an seal it with PVC glue

I had some issues with shipping and their customer service cleared them right up. Were very responsive and clear in directions. Product installed as planned and working great.

In general, I've had a good experience with this system. I am very experienced in plumbing as well as softeners and filters, so I thought I'd share some notes about this system:

1) The instructions are VERY lacking for the inexperienced when it comes to the plumbing you need to purchase to install this. It makes no recommendations nor provides guidance on connections, pipe vs supply line, plastic vs copper or iron etc. If you don't have simple to moderate plumbing skills, you shouldn't undertake this on your own.

2) When initially filling and purging the large KDF filter, fill it SLOWLY. I filled it at a trickle, and opened the valve to the nearest tub very slowly and still got what looked like 1-2 gallons of black paint flushing out of it. I don't even know if there's anything left in it. The instructions are very scarce on this step or what to expect. Make sure you have the softener on bypass when you do this, or you'll run all of that carbon through your resin bed.

3) I installed a water-meter right before the KDF filter so I can keep a running total of the gallons run through it (how else would I know when it has filtered a million gallons?). Using that meter, it shows that a softener regen using the default values uses approx 80 gallons of water. This seems extreme, and the only guidance provided for most of the settings is that you should leave them at default. They don't explain at all how different water types (well vs city, iron vs no-iron etc) can utilize very different settings than the default and still do a great job. A brine-draw of 60 minutes is excessive for most water considering the brine is all drawn in the first 5-10 minutes anyways.

Overall, it seems to be a quality system with above average components. I haven't had it installed long enough to provide a review of performance over time, but I will update good or bad. It's 10 steps above the 15-year old cabinet style 32k that was installed in my 1970's home, and the price is great for the size and quality of the system.

This package is great. I was just going to get the softener until big package went on sale. I save money by buying to complete setup at once. Buying it this way is like getting the undercabinet reverse osmosis with tank and faucet for free for additional savings. 1st thing to note is that your filters will arrive in several shipments. Mine arrived in 5 separate shipments. I only received 1 tracking number. So when I tracked my order, it said it would arrive March 21. To my surprise, I got a partial shipment following the day I ordered it. Marked on the packages is a red label explaining that there will be other deliveries and just 1 tracking number. The last package arrived March 20..yes on a Sunday. All packages arrived in good condition and earlier than quoted.
As for the install, it was also easy and straight forward. My house was ready for a water softener install along with a drain. Plumbing took about 2.5 hours total. Since the water softener unit I purchased is made with 1" lines, I used 1" pex and sharkbite push connectors to plumb it all together. I used 2 adapters to connect it to my home copper lines that are 3/4" lines. Plumbing parts cost me $468 tax included. Yes, 1" sharkbite connectors are expensive but easy to work with. Cheaper Plumbing can be had by either using Pex clamps or a 3/4" lines and reducing the Plumbing at each filter inlet and outlet. I choose to keep ot all uniformed. I saved a little money by turning the water softening unit "sideways". It eliminated 2 90 degree elbows which was about $40 in savings. I used about 15 feet of 1" PEX line. (About $15 worth). The cost is all in the connectors. Again, you can plumb it cheaper, but I wanted the ease of it. No leaks, all fittings installed great. I used Teflon tape and a very small dab of silicone for the threads. I used aquarium safe silicone. A small dab is about half a pea size. I wrapped the connectors with Teflon tape and evenly spread the silicone over the tape. This causes a small bead of silicone when the connectors are screwed in all the way, thus sealing it. No leaks. I let it dry overnight. In the morning, I completed the Plumbing to the house and followed the instructions in the manual. It took about 10 minutes for the water to run clear when flushing the carbon out of the lines. If you have a 2 story home, make sure you bleed out the air in all faucets, showers and toilets...especially on the second floor. If you don't, you can lose water pressure due to the trapped air. It happened to me. I simply opened up all faucets upstairs and opened the bypass for the water softener to get water flowing again. After all air was released from the lines, the unit had been working perfectly. We noticed the difference right away after initial setup of the water softener. It takes about an hour for this. You will notice it right away on the cold water side. To notice the hot water difference, it took us a day because of the old water inside of the water heater. We needed to use that water 1st before the softened water came through. I finished install on March 22 and we have been enjoying our system. Water feels and tastes great. No problems so far. Make sure you use the online calculator to program your unit. Ours will regenerate every 3600 gallons at 2am. Our hardness is at 267 in Las Vegas. Make sure that is programmed correctly. You don't want to waste water by regenerating unnecessarily. You will just waste water and salt. If any updates are needed, I will post it.
