Harmony Series 48,000 Grains Whole House Water Softener w/High Efficiency Digital Metered Control Head (48,000 Grains)

I think the Softener is pretty good quality, it took another $100 of plumbing parts to install. I removed the Culligan Water Softener that was at least 20 years old and installed this one. Water seems a lot softer and the installation process took about 4 hours to complete because of the plumbing reconfiguration. (And i had to keep running into town for more piping, Shark Bites etc.)

I have two of these and both operate like a dream. Much prefer these over the old Whirlpool style which always seemed finicky to me. Install was fairly easy, I had much prep work to do replacing an ancient Fleck water softener. Did have one problem. The first set of keepers on the head leaked terribly. I had to take that part off, make sure the keepers were on correctly and make sure they were very tight. Double check yours before startup with a 1/4" nut driver. Everything else worked as expected. After the first regen, I can already start to feel a difference in water softness and soap lathering.

I bought this water softener to replace a deceased "schmulligan" softener. It was way less expensive than going with the big name guys. So easy to install. It really is a "plug in and play" type of unit, if you've already had one installed. The instructions are clearly written, short, and super easy to follow. I followed the directions step by step and within 24 hours, my water went from 450 ppm to less than 25 ppm. I did have a little help. My husband brought the resin tank downstairs using a dolly. It is quite awkward to carry and quite heavy too. Once it was in place and ready to rock and roll, I calculated how many gallons of water we used (average American used approximately 75 gallons a day) multiplied by how many people are in the household and used that as a baseline. AquasureUSA.com has a calculation section on their website and I just used what was recommend. Set the control valve with the proper time, how much soft water we needed and just walked away. I did purchase two 1" FIP to FIP stainless steel flex hoses and two brass male connectors to attach my whole house filter just before the softener to filter out a whole bunch of gunk prior to the intake valve. It was basically just wrapping plumbers tape around the fittings, attach said fittings to the water intake and outlet, attach the brine tank hose and discharge hose, plug in the control valve and run it. I am not a plumber. I am a 63-year-old disabled woman who is not afraid to try, so you CAN do it too. Just read the instructions completely through, get a Philips screwdriver/socket wrench (my personal choice), a Plumbers wrench, an adjustable wrench and your patience. Wrap about 7 spins of the plumbers tape (in the correct direction - clockwise) attach female hose to the male fitting, tighten connectors firmly and turn your water back on. Super easy. Time consuming, but not hard. If you can turn a wrench, you can do this. CAUTION: The valve control head, (the thing on top of the tank) is made of plastic. Be careful about cross threadding and over tightening. You certainly don't want to do that. Make sure you lube the O-rings, which will be included with this purchase. One final note: Thank you Aquasure for the whole house filter. It was truly a pleasant surprise. That too was a simple install. My water is clean, clear and soft! Very, very happy with this purchase. I would highly recommend this unit! Thanks again Aquasure!!

First off, after the initial flush and regen, this 48K Grain whole home softener does it's job VERY WELL. Assembly was not bad considering, directions are laid out and with font that I could actually read. I would purchase this unit again, of course depending on the longevity I can get out of it... which would be destemmed hopefully way down the road. I would like to point out, everything in the 2 boxes completes your unit (even silicone grease) except a 1/2" ID poly tube; used for overflow protection in the brine tank. This is noted as optional in the directions, I believe I will purchase this tubing and install it as if the float inside the tube fails, I could have a salt slurry mess all over my laundry room floor. My two quirks or negatives are: 1. Programming is several pages long (in the instructions), it's laid out (with images) but I don't think it needs to be this complicated. Related to this problem is the display panel. It's 30 year old LCD technology, having blocked out letters or hard to intemperate lower case letters. The upper case are fine, still an old display that could meet an updated one and the Mfgrs cost would not be that significate. SEE MY IMAGE of the head, I made a "Cheat Sheet" to help me (years down the road?) when I may need to re-program, or, having to quickly click maybe the "Cancel Regen". I will try to keep the instruction manual in a poly bag taped to the wall by the tank. 2. While unit is regenerating, IT IS LOUD!. Sounds like Niagara Falls lol. I know from experience, some of this noise comes from the turbine device that counts the Gallons (or Liters) being used. I have an LED faucet that is noisy because of this, but not nearly to the extent of this unit, If your softener will go in the basement, then you may be fine. Unfortunately, out Laundry room is close to our master bedroom and the timed 2am (or I went with 4am) regen is an awakener.

easy install

This thing is incredible, we had hard water plugging everything before installing this and now not even a water spot anywhere. The water tastes and smells amazing and my wife loves that her hair feels healthier and cleaner after she showers. Plus you use less soap because it suds up so much more with softened water.

Facile a installer, guide et video bien expliqué. Pas plus compliqué qu’une laveuse a linge. Eau dure 350ppm Fer 0,5ppm Manganèse 0,5ppm

It’s working good so far but hasn’t done its first backwash yet. It rinses or backwashes every so many litres of water used. It doesn’t do it every so many days so uses less salt. If we are away and no water used it doesn’t need to flush so doesn’t.

Arrived on time, easy install with great instructions. Only took me 3.5 hours to run all the pex pipe and connections...works great.
