I like that this system doesn't produce any noticeable reduction in water flow or pressure. The improvement in water quality however is very noticeable. The water looks, tastes, smells and even feels much cleaner and better.

Professional installation is probably warranted unless you are adept with plumbing; not necessarily because of the system itself but because of the need to modify your existing plumbing. Mine was professionally installed. Only downside is maintenance is unnecessarily complicated by lack of clear identification (e.g. by part number) of what replacement elements to buy in the documentation. All things considered I would buy this again.

I have well water (Florida stinky kind) which always deposited soot in my faucet aerators, not to mention the hardness and foul sulfur odor (even with the so called reverse osmosis retaining tank that my pump pulled from) and a sediment filter. These puppies took care of that. Set up with a bypass for easy maintenance (manual will show you how) and installed the pre-filter, charcoal filter, softener. And baby my water tastes amazing! Was buying cases and cases of water so we can drink. Not anymore. I'm happy with my investment. They were easy to install. (Use flexible 1" metal hoses instead of pvc to allow for better placement of filters. Shipment came in 5 boxes. Did not even use the reverse osmosis system they sent. No need, water tastes amazing. All in all I'm very satisfied with this purchase! (No leaks either)

They are all water taste very good. It took a few days so start testing. Good the softener it's a goodbye comparing what's in the market. Everything works good no issues.

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.

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.
