Aqua-Pure AP802 Water Filter System, Whole House, 45 gpm Review

We've been using Brita pitcher for years, but we knew we wanted a whole house filter for three main reasons: (1) drinking water any time from the tap and not have to wait for the Brita to refill, (2) remove chlorine from shower and bath water, and (3) remove the sediments and "crud" from our water. Ultimately it was point 3 that pushed us over the edge when city water kept clogging up your kitchen faucet and it got too tedious to get under the sink and fix the faucet one more time.

We knew we didn't want a water softener: we wanted to get the crud out of our water, not add more stuff in. What we wanted was a filter: get the chlorine taste out and the crud out.

We did a lot of research, and considered some of the expensive brands like the LifeSource water filter. But in addition to the cost, none of the independent research I found online indicated that they were anything but hocus pocus. Plus, I think we're talking about $2k or $3k for the filter. After looking into it, it really sounded like marketing hoo-haa with no science behind it, so we dug deeper.

We opted for this one and have been very satisfied.

Ultimately, though, this product is just the filter container that you hook up to the water system. The filter cartridge is a separate product and determines what you will filter out of your water.

This Aqua-Pure system lets you choose between
- particulate-only removal ( Aqua-Pure AP810-2 (AP802-1.5-C) Replacement Cartridge, 5 Micron Rating Water Filter )
- particulate and chlorine removal: Aqua-Pure AP817-2 Water Filter Replacement Cartridge, 25 Micron Rating .

We went with the latter, and it's been great. We have to change the filter cartridge every 6 to 12 months, but at $50/pop, that's acceptable.

The Aqua-Pure system is inexpensive. It was originally made by a company called Cuno which got bought by 3M. We've been very pleased with 3M products in the past, so we had confidence of the brand. And so far, it's been everything we hoped for. The water tastes great, and there's no chlorine smell, and no more clogging up of our faucets.

The filter system is fairly small, so we just had it installed on the side of the house, in a convenient location to swap out filter cartridges. If you live in a cold climate, I would recommend putting it indoors to protect it from the weather. We are in California, so the side of the house is fine.

The real expense is the installation that really needs to be done by a plumber. Depending how much new copper pipe you'll need (based on where you are installing it with respect to your water supply), it could run from a couple of hundred dollars in installation to over a thousand. Still, totally worth it. We are very glad we did it.
