I have had my system for 8 years, my 1st review is 2nd to last in the review list, and I have no doubt it will continue to be the best part of my house for the next 8 or even forever.
Over the years I have replaced filters on average 8-12 months. Full size house with family of 4 and 3 bathrooms.
Some changes from the early years that I miss though, are the clear housings and exposed filters. I really like watching the 'inside' of the filter change over time. Just seeing what was being stopped by the Pure Effect was awesome. I think from a engineering view though, the new style filters are better. Even if you can't watch them get dirty.
This is the single best investment anyone can make to their home. (Posted on 1/25/2020)

It was initially a little difficult to get the filters to stop leaking when trying to replace. Found it to be an issue with worn O-Rings. The company sent me a complete set of 8 O-Rings for free. Thanks very much - problem solved! (Posted on 7/4/2019)

I purchased my Pure Effect Whole House Water Filter almost four years ago. The system is remarkable in purifying the city water of Dallas. My friends are amazed at the results. In addition, my organic garden production has increased substantially, without the chlorine and other "gunk" which stunt plant growth! The improved flavor and nutritional value of my herbs and vegetables are quite apparent. Highly recommended (Posted on 5/27/2018)

We haven't actually used the system yet, but several people in our development have it & love it so I believe we will be very happy with it. It will be installed very soon in our new house & we will love it I'm sure, (Posted on 5/1/2018)

My wife has been ill for a few years now and she is recovering from her illness. When we were visiting with her physician on a weekly basis, we mentioned that we were in the process of building a new home and we were looking for a complete water filtration system. Our doctor immediately recommended Pure Effect Filters so we did some research and decided to purchase the ultra city water whole house filtration system. It has been the best purchase for our new home and we feel so confident that we are getting water at its purest form. Even the plumber told us when he was installing it, this system has to be the best water filtration system I have ever installed. WE LOVE IT! (Posted on 3/6/2018)

I was expecting great "tasting" water, I was buying Fiji, but wow! I live in a MUD district that has two wells, yet treats the water with all the same nasties as the cities. For my little granddaughter, especially, it was time for all of us to live fluoride free, not too mention radiation, pharmaceuticals and waste chemicals! This water filter system had an unexpected benefit with the few years old all copper piping, and standard fixtures: shower heads became unclogged, toilet bowl water flushing alone seem to clean the stains! In general, good water naturally cleans our bodies and our stuff! Thank you, Igor, with your help and patience! Highly, highly, recommend !!! (Posted on 3/27/2017)

THANK YOU!!!!!
I have been researching water filters for a few years and was really disappointed with the options and costs, water waste, awkward management of units etc. Finally I followed through on a review, recommendation by Dr. Carolyn Dean who confirmed that she loves the filter system.
I am REALLY HAPPY with my new house filter. Where I live the water is hard (10 on a scale of 1-10) and smells/tastes chlorinated and other unknown non water elements that are scary to consume. I never drank the tap water let alone give my pets that water without putting it through a brita. That was then. Now, bathing, showering, washing, drinking are all a happy even joyous experience. The water is so soft and leaves my skin and hair really soft too.
I have only had the filter for a month or so, the first few days after installation the water tasted odd, sort of papery, but after a few days, maybe a week, it all started to taste like mountain spring water with no smell at all.
I love the easy install and the filter placement, all you do is screw the cylinders in and voila. The price point is really reasonable too, especially with only having to replace filters once a year.
If things turn less positive I will update this review but for now I feel that finally I am not drinking, bathing or washing in toxic water. What a RELIEF!
MERCHANT RESPONSE:
Thank you for your passionate review Katie, we are very happy to read it! A few points I'd like to clarify for you and our other customers. The "Papery" taste you mention is a normal and expected effect of the natural calcium in the system adapting, so during the initial usage the water may taste/smell "earthy" or "papery", but as you already noted, this quickly subsides.
With regard to drinking/cooking with this water: Although your water quality is now significantly improved, it still passes/sits in your plumbing system before it comes out of your faucet, so there is potential for it to absorb contaminants from your plumbing system, as such, we recommend one of our countertop/undercounter filter systems for the kitchen to clean the water directly AFTER the plumbing system and at much slower flow rate, which also helps with even greater efficacy for removing some of the most difficult contaminants to the highest %. e.g. fluoride.
Also, although our systems may help with hard water (high calcium carbonate content), this is not their main purpose and a water descaler/softener would be the proper solution for hardness. We will be carrying salt-free water softeners in the coming months. (Posted on 11/2/2016)

I'm highly sensitive to chemicals. When I discovered that washing clothes and taking showers in the water from our county water supply was making me sick, I knew I had to buy a good whole house water filtration system. After researching different filtration systems, I felt more at ease when I found Pure Effect Filters. I have had this system for more than a year, and it's wonderful. I have a household of three, and recently replaced the filter cartridges after one year. Pure Effect -- Thank you for making such a wonderful water filtration system. (Posted on 3/16/2016)
