Product Description
The AQUIOS Water Treatment System a full house water conditioning and filtration system that utilizes commercial strength technology and performance in a sleek, compact design. This system will ensure that sediment, chlorine and other undesirable materials are removed from your water, that calcium, magnesium and other by products found in hard water do not build up on your fixtures and pipes, and provide clean, pure and healthy water to you and your family. Unlike salt-based systems, the minerals that make water “hard” are not removed. Instead, AQUIOS utilizes a commercial, natural technology that ensures that these minerals do not accumulate or build up on faucets, water heaters, shower heads, internal pipes or any other device that utilizes your existing water source. This natural technology is a polyphosphate additive known as Siliphos which inhibits scale deposits and, over time will slowly reduce scale buildup on your pipes and appliances. The result...most scale-causing minerals pass through the systems instead of forming deposits on pipes, appliances and water heater. You will notice a difference in “water feel”, but not one that is “slippery” as is commonly found with salt water softeners. The AQUIOS Water Treatment System is a revolutionary approach to water treatment and conditioning. It combines carbon block filtration (rated at 5 microns) with commercial grade water conditioning to deliver a full house, all in one solution. Our unique design ensures virtually no pressure loss or reduction in water flow rate and requires absolutely no programming, electricity or maintenance. It also comes with a 20 year warranty on the housing and valve. Now that's simple..... The AQUIOS Water Treatment System includes your first cartridge and is rated for 40,000 gallons of usage before it requires replacement. This should last approximately six (6) months for the average family household.

Great whole house softening and filtration system
By tombohio56
I purchased the Aquios unit from Amazon right before Christmas and had it professionally installed a little over a week ago. For anyone concerned about the installation costs, I hired a local plumber and he was able to install the unit for $150 including parts, and it took him less than an hour. I'm sure someone with good plumbing skills and basic tools could easily install the softener themselves; I simply know my limitations and elected to have it installed properly.
I couldn't be happier with the results. My wife and I started noticing a difference in our water quality immediately, and it keeps getting better every day. True, this unit may not match the classic definition of a water softener since it does not use salt, but if crystal-clear water, no chemical taste, elimination of scale buildup and essentially maintenance-free operation is what you are looking for in a whole-house conditioning system, then the heck with "classic" definitions.
We've both noticed a better "feel" from our water in the shower, and the amount of soap and shampoo we use in order to feel clean has been drastically reduced. The first time I used my espresso machine with our "new" water, it was like night and day. The coffee carafe did not show any signs of lime or scale buildup, whereas previously I would have to wash the container out with soap and hot water after each use. Our water was so hard, we had to scrub the toilet bowls daily to keep them clean, and now all of those water stains and "gunk" have simply disappeared. The shower mirror stays crystal clear with no signs of haze, and our water tastes great right from the tap.
It puzzles me how someone could write a review for a product they've never used. So, even though this unit does not use salt, who cares??? If its results you're looking for, I would recommend you take a close look at the Aquios system as a viable alternative to salt-based conditioners.

Works as advertised so far.
By SF East Bay
I researched long and hard for a water softener as I have recently bought a new home, with new washer dryer and tankless water heater.In my area it is known for some hard water and with that being said we all know what hard water does to your appliances let alone fixtures. Wanted to start with the mindset of living here for the rest of my life.
This unit has improved the taste of the water and has stopped hard water significantly in my home. It has been 2 months and we have not had to wiped down our showers for build up, only for regular cleaning. Sinks are clean and the tank less water heater keeps up with high demand on a lower temperature setting. All in all I believe this was a great investment for my needs.
For reference 3600 sqft home with 3 adults and 2 children.
Below are my findings after doing a lot of initial research before buying the Aquios system and hope to help out others.
There are 3 systems that are widely implemented:
1) Most used is salt based water softners
2) Water Filtrations systems that as a byproduct soften the water
3) Newest technology is the Magnetic
So far after reading it all, salt based are best used when there is serious, serious hardwater. Basically if you see rings in your toilet, and you feel so dry after a shower. Cons of salt based systems are that your water feels a little soapy and if you use your tap water to cook and make coffee. This of course is because there is added salt in your diet due to the softener. Not recommended for those with sodium health problems. Costs for the salt based softeners start as low as $80 up to $500. Usually has to be maintained every 1 to 2 months. Costing $10-$20 ea time.
Water Filtration systems are mid level to mid-high cases of hard water. They are a filtration system that will also help with softening up the water. With this product you get a two in one system and if you think about it will also prolong your appliances a bit longer as it will also take out further contaminates. Initial costs for a whole home water filtration & softener system starts from $300-$1000. Filter lasts from 3-6months. Filters can be $30 to $70 ea.
Magnetic wiring around your copper fittings is one of the newer technologies to be implemented for home use. From reviews and what I have read, these do work but not for cases where hard water is not an big problem and usually installed when it was not needed in the first place. How they work is to electrifying wires to create magnetic fields so the chemical reaction how hard water is formed is deactivated. These systems are usually maintenance free. Systems start at $150 to $800.

Does good job
By scooter
We've had this installed for $140 by our plumber.Someone else gave us a price of $395 for the same installation,so be careful and call around for prices.We feel it works great.We can now drink water from the faucet with no after taste and you can install it just about anywhere.We had ours installed in the garage where our pipes run thru.We've been using it since September 2012,and still working fine.Filters with (EOC),which is what we got and are only $10 more,are suppose to last a family of four for six months,So,I expect to get 8 to 10 months use for just my wife and myself.Our plumber said,he doesn't know why more people don't use this type of softener/filter instead of spending thousand's for something that'll do the same thing this will.It DOES NOT affect our water pressure at all.There was absolutely no difference,and the filter's are easy to replace.Just unsrew the top,pull the old filter out and slide the new one in,but,don't forget to soak the filter for 15 minute's before putting the filter in.We live in Tucson,AZ,and our water is very hard.This system did the trick.It's also saving our appliance's,water heater,faucet's,dish washer,toilet's,etc from the calcium build-up we got before.We actually had to take our water heater out and flush all the calcium chunks out in the yard.We don't hear those chunks banging against the side of the water heater anymore from the pressure inside.I recommend this water softener.If it works in Arizona,where the water is very hard,it should work most anywhere,and the cost of it is very reasonable for what it does,plus the extra life it is giving our appliance's and our skin and hair and having water you drink.I'm pretty picky guy,so,you can trust this review and I DO NOT work for Aqious.
Also,it arrived ahead of the actual delivery date stated.
