3-Stage Whole House Water Filter System, Reduces Heavy Metals, Scale, Chloramine, Chlorine, PFAs, Lead & Arsenic, Free-standing Stainless Steel Frame & 3 Pressure Gauges

I ordered the Express Water Heavy Metal Filtration System for the following reasons: 1. Very detailed and favorable reviews; 2. The sleek look of this system paired with the stainless steel; 3. Preinstalled pressure guages; and, 4. The availability of a variable range of replacement filters, all at an exceptional cost. The system was installed inside a barn that contains my water well and is attached to a line leading to my home. Water testing showed my primary concern to be water hardness and I contemplated getting the recently released Express Water Descaling system. (Note: I did purchase a set of Express Water Descaling Filters through Amazon). I opted for the Heavy Metal system because of the extensive filtering capability of its KDF filter. The system was installed by the contractor and team who constructed my country home. The system was installed on a piece of 3/4 inch ply board attached to the barn wall and elevated on the advice of the installer to simplify filter changes. In order to address descaling issues the system was paired following an ISpring spindown filter that contained pho, a compound that restricts bonding of calcium and magnesium that creates scaling. In addition, an ISpring electronic descaler was installed on the water line coming out of the Express Water system. I have attached a photo of the filtration system as completed. It operates through a bypass of the main line that can be closed to allow unfiltered water to flow from the well to the house bound line (I do have two outdoor faucets built from my house water system that are occasionally used for outside yard watering, and if excessive water usage becomes an issue, I will have the option of bypassing the system for that use). As shown, the filter system is constructed out of pvc piping. The system has been in operation for about one month. Following great advice provided in earlier reviews, installation was prompt and improvement to the clarity and purity of the water was almost instantaneous. This improvement has encouraged us to commence drinking the water, which now has a clean and pleasant taste. Recently my wife suggested we add an ice making machine to our refrigerator, to eliminate buying ice which we have been doing since building the home in late 2014. My contractor who installed the system and has installed many others in this rural area indicated it was the best designed system he has seen and indicated he is probably going to install an Express Water system at his new home. I am encouraged the company will live up to the fine reviews it has received. The cost of the system, including all components, with installation, was less than $1,000, which is about half the cost of many comparable systems being installed in the area. I will supplement this review if problems arise, but at the present time I rate it five stars and am glad to be free of the hassles of a salt based system, yet have good clean water on hand.

When I lived in a rural environment I had well water and septic. It was not big deal to have a reverse osmosis water filter. I didn’t have to worry about paying for the 3 to 4 wasted gallons to get 1 good gallon of drinking water. Where I live now, I am on city water and sewer. It doesn’t make sense to pay for all that wasted water. I needed another solution and opted for a whole house filtration system. The Express system fits the bill nicely. My unit was installed professionally by a plumber. It has been in service for several weeks now. The difference in the taste and the feel of my water is remarkable. The city water was so high in chlorine one could smell and taste it. I joked about chlorinating myself in the shower. Now the smell and taste of chlorine is gone as well as other common contaminants. And I’m getting great drinking water from every spigot in the house. No more going to the single outlet in the kitchen. I teamed my Express filter system with a whole house UV water filter. This is as close to reverse osmosis as I can get without all the wasted water. I can highly recommend this unit for whole house filtration. There is only ONE DRAWBACK I came across recently. My wife and I went to an upscale restaurant. The food was superb. The water was terrible. It smelled and tasted like chlorine. I couldn’t drink it. It tasted like they pumped the water from a swimming pool. Yuk! I have gotten so used to fresh filtered water at home. Now it is hard to settle for anything less.

We have well water that smells horrible. I have struggled for the past few years with the smell and it was also very embarrassing when people would visit and make comments on what smelled so bad. I would even gag when brushing my teeth. We have also spent so much money on gallons and bottles of water. We have a water softener but it didn’t make a difference with the hard water. Within minutes of this being installed we had absolutely no smell and could drink the water from the tap. I actually enjoy taking a shower now also. The plumber we had install it said it could take a week before we noticed a difference but I could tell instantly. I wish we purchased this two years ago when we built our house. If you are unsure if this is a quality system, let me tell you it absolutely is. It is worth every single penny and I we will also save so much money on not having to buy bottles and gallons of water. It also filters out the iron so our toilets don’t have stains. Seriously buy this. You will not regret it.

The Express Water Filtration System is a substantial, well made, and hopefully an efficient filtration system. It was installed three days ago, so I’ll know more as time goes on. I had a plumber install it, (Copper pipe) but it looked fairly straight forward. I’ve seen DIY people on YouTube install with PVC which should work fine. My reason for purchasing this filtration unit was to remove mainly Chlorine from my newly repiped house. Chlorine can affect the interior of copper pipes, so I’m told. I called the Express Company with a few questions and found them to be friendly and extremely helpful. Be aware the filters (3) last from 6 mo - 1 yr and can be purchased through Amazon. The 3 filters cost over $100 together, so fingers crossed, I’ll only have to replace them yearly. The unit has 3 pressure gauges so you can monitor how each filter is doing and replace them accordingly. The gauges were my main reason for choosing Express over the competition. I rarely drink tap water, so I can’t help you there, but I’m hoping the spots on glasses coming out of the dishwasher diminish and overall scale becomes less of an issue, not to mention algae, heavy metals, sediment, and several unwanted chemicals. I may offer an evaluation update after living with this system for a month or two.

Cet équipement de Express water a été très facile à installer. Il est certain qu'une plomberie en PEX est un jeu d'enfant. Ce système me coûte beaucoup moins cher que ce que voulait me vendre le commerce de pompes local. Mon problème d'odeur de souffre et de goût de sel en raison de mon autre équipement ont été complètement réglé. Je suis donc pleinement satisfait et après neuf mois d'utilisation, je n'ai pas encore changé les filtres. Je pense le faire dans trois ou quatre mois.

I bought the whole home heavy metals filter because my wife and I returned from our Caribbean sanctuary and could not believe the taste and smell of our drinking water in Oshawa, Canada. Rather than risk poisoning we installed the whole home filter and immediately noticed a complete difference in the smell and taste of our water. I recommend this product to anyone who wants to take the risk out of drinking municipal water. Fluoride is an industrial byproduct (toxin) and should not be in our drinking water. This system deals with it too, so when your municipality fails you and adds it, you can eliminate it too.

Relatively easy to install for non-professional with basic plumbing skills. Mounted mine so is easily removed when moving. We live in city with heavily chlorinated water, and we now love the great fresh taste of clean water to drink and cook with and enjoy cleaner bathtubs, toilets and other fixtures - even dishwasher works better.

Excellent system!!! Our municipal water is almost undrinkable due to the chlorine levels, after installing this our water tastes amazing!! We also paired this system with a 100 and a 50 micron sediment spin down filter and UV Sterilizer.

this unit is well made and after installation reduce TDS by 100 - 287 TDS to 187 TDS. Just be aware that inlet and outlet require 1" fittings.
