Aquasure Harmony
Score: 85/100Rankings
The AFWFilters Iron Pro 2 is a combination water softener and iron filter designed for whole-house treatment of hard water and ferrous iron. It utilizes fine mesh resin and a Fleck 5600SXT digital metered control valve to remove hardness minerals, iron, and manganese while regenerating on-demand based on actual water usage. It is best suited for homes with 2-5 people dealing with both hard water and ferrous iron contamination.
The Aquasure Harmony Series 50,000 Grains is a robust whole-house water softener designed for larger households with 4-6 bathrooms, featuring a high flow rate and integrated pre-filtration. Its main trade-off is high water consumption during regeneration cycles and a reliance on external power. It is best suited for users with well water needing iron reduction and those seeking comprehensive contaminant removal alongside softening.

The fine mesh resin is noted for its durability in iron-rich conditions, though experts caution that it is strictly for ferrous iron and requires separate solutions for ferric iron issues.
Data indicates that users value the all-in-one nature of the system and the convenience of DIY installation. However, there is limited consumer feedback available, making it difficult to assess long-term user satisfaction or recurring maintenance complaints beyond the standard salt refill requirements.
