Customer Reviews of Aquasana Drinking Water System
Customer Review: A Total Waste of Money - There Are Better Alternatives
Summary: 1 Stars
I owned this Aquasana unit for about six weeks. After just a couple of weeks the flow of water began to decrease noticeably. After six weeks it slowed to such a trickle that filling a glass of water would take so long I'd have to go do something else while waiting for it to happen. It didn't take long for the unit to become unusable.
I called the company several times. They kept blaming the problem on my water - they said that where I live there's a lot of sediment, etc. (Not that I live on the moon, I just live in a typical American city.)
Well, DUHH. If I had clean water, I wouldn't need their filter, right? Basically what the company is telling me is that the job is too tough and their filter just can't cut it. So why pay them all that money? I even used their sediment "prefilters" regularly, changing them once a week at an additional expense, and it made absolutely no difference.
I bought the Aquasana based on a lot of internet hype that this product simply does not deserve. Finally I decided to stop throwing good money after bad, canceled the expensive "Water for Life" program, and threw the thing out.
I'm not sure why the Aquasana is so inefficient, but I suspect one reason may be its small filter size. There are much better alternatives out there, with decent filters, and I got one that really works. The Multi-Pure water filtration system has a true solid carbon block filter that's large enough to handle the job, and does not need any "prefilters" that raise the cost unnecessarily. Their regular filters also last longer. Thus the Multi-Pure does a better job at a lower cost for replacement filters. I got the Multi-Pure unit with the metal case, which not only won't crack but also has a separate spout that produces a full, rich stream of water. I've had the Multi-Pure now longer than I had the Aquasana and its flow has not diminished, no matter what Aquasana may think of my troublesome water. And because there are no stupid "sediment prefilters" to jack up the expense, in the long run the Multi-Pure is cheaper to operate.
I notice that even some "good" reviews of the Aquasana complain about how slow it is, and about water pressure issues, etc. I don't worry about any of that with the Multi-Pure. So filtering water efficiently is not beyond the possible; it's the Aquasana system that's a piece of junk.
Unless your water is pristine (in which case you don't need a filter), forget the Aquasana despite the hype, and buy a good system that really works. It is not hard to find something better than Aquasana.
