Express Water Whole House Water Filter System | ULTIMATE PROTECTION | 3 Stage Home Filtration, Top Tier Heavy Metal + Anti-Scale Filter, Highly Reduces Scale, Chloramine, Chlorine, PFAs, Lead, Arsenic

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.

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.

I've waited 4 months before reviewing. Installation in my case was a breeze, because my house had a traditional softener system in it previously when it was built, but when I bought the house, the previous owners had gotten rid of it about 10 years or so before selling the house. Fine by me, the salt-based softeners all have something in them that cause my eyes to swell up and close when I wash my face or shower/bathe in that water, and my skin to break out in red hives. I was looking for something else to alleviate the hard water spot woes in southeast Tennessee. Let me tell ya, this filtration unit is fantastic! No skin or eye issues, the water doesn't feel slick or slimy like with a salt-based unit. I've also already noticed that some of the hard water build up from the last ten years, even on the Glas shower doors has started to dissolve. In some spots and on some faucets, after about two months, I was able to scrape it off with a finger nail and a little force. Clothes in the washer are coming out fresher now, my sinks are easier to clean, the taste of the water is now fresh and fantastic! I will say, for the first month and a half or so, it tasted a little like a drinking water from a new hose in the yard, but I think that may have been the pipes and plumbing set up I had to add in order to hook it up. Now though, it's great! I sent a water quality report and a photo of the water pressure reading to their customer service from my utility company and they replied back after a few days and said I should get the 100,000 gallons or so use from all three filters. At that rate, my family will be on the first set for a year (I'll replace them annually, even though we won't hit 100,000 gallons). When installing, look at the diagrams, don't forget to make a bypass for when you change the filters, so if you have an issue, you can default to direct utility water. I had to get creative with some extra 90 degree joints, small sections of pex, and layering some pipes next to each other to fit the tight squeeze of the gap in my pipes, but it was very easy to do. I drew out a diagram of what I needed and bought a couple extra sticks of pex and pex to pvc adapters, just in case. If you have pex, you will need a pex to pvc adapter, the areas to thread into the filtration usit should be PVC, I tried a pex threaded one and it dripped for a day, then tried with the pex to pvc threaded adapter and it stopped leaking and has worked perfectly since then! This filtration system will most likely last for years and years so long as I change the filters as suggested and my garage never gets cold enough for a hard freeze, which I doubt it ever well. The design is great. I've had several neighbors who saw the box by the curb when I first got it wait, and then ask after a while how I like the filtration system. I've shown them the setup and shared the link, and I know of at least one that is getting one as well. I was worried about water plants with it, but they have thrived all summer, and I have no complaints as of yet! Seems very durable and I'll update this review if any issues ever pop up.

Bought this for my home to deal with questionable city water. Sometimes it tastes weird/like chlorine and will leave our bathtub, sinks and toilets a wreck. Not to mention the horrible calcium build-up in the lines needed dealt with. After spending roughly $50 in parts (PVC), I set to work. The installation only took maybe two hours while taking my time. I also needed to reverse the flow of the filters, which the instructions to do so are provided. I've got to say, after everything was said and done, I was impressed with the immediate difference in the taste of my water. I had some of the "old stuff" just in case I needed it, and compared to drinking the water after the filtration system, the old stuff smelled and tasted like I was drinking water straight from a pool. After the filtration system? It actually tastes like nice refreshing water. Not only this, but I swear my skin feels better after showering to boot. The only hiccup I experienced was that one of the gauges wasn't working initially, but after a suggestion from customer support I found out it was 1 turn too tight. All gauges work correctly once I loosened it a full turn. While it may be too early to give it an honest, long-term review, I'm impressed with it so far. If you're looking to improve your water quality, you can't go wrong with this system.

Bought this as part of a filtration and softening package for my house. Had my water heater go out on me and needed replacing. It was getting fed direct city water from the previous owners who installed it. Surprisingly the water in my town is pretty well treated for the most part. However, I get a lot of cast iron/rust particulates if I'm away for too long. I added this system as pre-treatment to my waters oftener and I've never experienced cleaner water elsewhere. The installation was seamless and the pressure gauges are a nice touch. The filter housing removal and depressurization buttons make for easy filter replacement - make sure you have shutoffs installed before and after the filter. Once, the clear filter turned orange over time that told me all that I needed to know. I did have a pressure gauge damaged upon shipment, but I took a picture of it and sent to the seller. Had a new one in the mail 4 days later. A few things to note most people do talk about on here: 1) You don't need to screw the gauges on very tight otherwise they will leak. 2) If not installing on the floor, be sure you have a prop or platform installed. The hangers on this thing are solid, but the weight of the filter housing is significant especially filled with water. Two bolts aren't anything I'd trust hanging this up high. Definitely worth getting!
