The 3 Best Aquasana Water Softeners - Our 2018 Product Reviews

When it comes to water softening, Aquasana have it sewn up. Never mind salt, Nucleation Assisted Crystallization (NAC to its friends) is the way to go. Not so much a single device, think of Aquasana water filters as a range of products designed to work together as part of a veritable smorgasbord of water treatment products. You just select the elements that deal with the water issues in your given area.

Designed to protect aspects of the home that come into contact with water, Aquasana water softeners and filters make light work of getting rid of unpleasant minerals and chemicals that you’d prefer not to be there without the need for salt or electricity. Simply purchase them, install them into your plumbing, and let it work.

Aquasana Whole House Filters work with four technologies that pimp up the quality of water available to you at home. (Check out the difference between softeners and filters here)

Why Use an Aquasana Water Softener?

There are a few reasons why Aquasana has such a large repeat customer base, and here's a few of them:

1. Salt Free Softening

Never mind lugging bags of salt around and waiting for water while your softener regenerates like a long lost Time Lord (That’s a Dr Who reference if you didn’t know). Nucleation Assisted Crystallization reduces calcium scaling by an impressive 99.6% so it is especially effective in hard water areas.

Not only do you avoid salt refills, there are also no running costs as there is no electricity or additional water required.

2. Sediment Filters

Yes, it may look clean and clear but your water supply can often carry a selection of unwanted nasties including sludge and sediment from older pipes beyond your home.

Aquasana filters make light work of this in the first stage of their process. Your water is passed across a sediment pre-filter that will ensure your household plumbing and appliances don’t come into contact with rust and other debris from external plumbing pipes.

3. Chemical Filters

Based on a mix of copper and zinc and finely crushed mineral stone, these chemical filters will clean your water at a rate of seven gallons per minute.

Your water then passes across active carbon filters that effectively remove herbicides, pesticides, and any other distinctly undesirable elements to leave clear water that won’t harm you, your pipes, or your appliances.

4. Ultra Violet Filtration

Despite all this filtration and cleaning, bacteria such as E. coli, cryptosporidium and giardia can still be carried in your water supply. The 'Aquasana Sterilight' filter uses ultra violet light to ensure that bacteria are killed before the water passes into your home.

You can remove 97% of the chlorine nasties in your tap water with the Aquasana 6 year salt free softener. With no need to monitor the system for regeneration you just plumb it in and away you go for a full six years of effort free and salt free water softening.

Other harmful contaminants such as water soluble metals are also effectively targeted by this softener when it is installed as part of a Whole House filter system. Expect an Aquasana Whole House Filter to look after you with pure water and your household plumbing with water that is free from minerals such as iron and calcium.

Best Suited For - For households looking to clean up their water act, the Aquasana 6 year salt free softener is a great investment. You can select just water softening or the Aquasana whole house filtration system.

How does one million gallons of clean fresh water sound? Not all at once you understand, but this water filter is warrantied to provide it over ten years.

So, without salt, electricity or any maintenance from you, just install and let the filters do the rest. Choose a combination of water softeners and water filters.

This filter comes with a Pro Install kit that contains all of the required fixtures and fittings for a long lasting install. If you are less than proficient at plumbing, it might be worth considering using professional help here.

Best Suited For - 1,000,000 gallons of water over ten years is an awful lot of water that works out to be 274 gallons a day, every day. If your family is a heavy user of water then this is the water filter for you. If you use more, the filters are all easily replaced. Clean water was never so easy, as once installed, no need to keep the system working, no heavy bags of salt or increased electricity bills.

Now you’re talking! This Aquasana throws everything (except the kitchen sink because that would be silly) at filtering your water. As well as NAC softeners reducing mineral content by 96.6% you also get to benefit from chemical removal that sees 97% of chlorine removed. Then, the real tour de force of this system is the Sterlight UV filter.

Almost 100% of unwanted bacteria such as E. coli and cryptosporidium are effectively killed off by UV light as filtration is completed. A real boon if you live in an area where the domestic water supply is not as reliable as it could be.

Best Suited For - Despite the hefty price tag, families with heavy water usage levels will find the long term costs of this machine. Add on to that levels of protection offered by the UV filtration, the range system really does offer something for health conscious' parents and families. Environmentally aware individuals will also be drawn to the no salt – no extra water aspects of running the system, even if the UV filter does need a small low level electricity supply.
