Aquasana Rhino EQ-1000 Review (2020)

Aquasana has quite the reputation, and their new Aqausana Rhino EQ-1000 definitely lives up to the hype. If you are desiring both peace of mind and a low maintenance solution to water pollution, then the Aquasana Rhino EQ-1000 is a phenomenal option. It is particularly effective at treating water with high levels of chlorine. The 10-year warranty is an immense benefit, and it justifies the price tag. Furthermore, filter changes are a cinch, and these filters are much cheaper than those of a reverse osmosis system. Because of its many feature, the ‘pro kit’ is essential.

Today, we will be discussing the Aquasana Rhino EQ-1000 which arrives with a Pro Install Kit. Because this is a whole house water filter, it has the ability to be placed wherever the water supply enters the home. This differs from point-of-use systems, which are designed for installation at one specific output. Usually, they must be placed under the sink or at the faucet. Due to Aquasana’s unique abilities, the Aquazana system has the capability to purify and filter the water at any and every point in the home. This means clean water for the family, thereby resulting in numerous health benefits. As an added bonus, studies have shown that Aquasana will improve the taste of your food and can even have a positive impact on your skin and hair.

This model was specifically crafted with the purpose of removing chlorine, and Aquasana claims to remove more than 97% of chlorine from water which is a phenomenal figure. It is also capable of reducing more dangerous  contaminants, including organic chemicals, heavy metals which are llead and mercury, industrial solvents. This makes the EQ-1000 a phenomenal option for owners looking to buy one of the top water filters.

The system is guaranteed to last for 1,000,000 gallons or 10 years which is an impressive amount of time. This warranty definitely sets the Aquasana apart from the competition, and it definitely makes the cost more understandable. When you need a new tank, a replacement can be purchased for around 75% of the cost of the complete system. Furthermore, Aquasana also offers a generous 90-day money back guarantee, so homeowners have room to make sure this filtration system is a good fit for their needs. However, it is worth mentioning that the 10-year warranty only applies if a professional plumber installs the system.

If you use city water and are opposed to the price tag of the 10-year system, an alternative does exist. There’s a cheaper model that costs substantially less and has a 300,000 gallon capacity. This model is best for removing chlorine and other dangerous contaminants from the household water supplies.

Performance

When it comes to filtration and effectiveness, this Aquasana water filter has phenomenal success. This unit completes four filtration stages and meets NSF standards for chlorine removal as well as the baselines for other chemicals. Wondering what each stage is like? Here’s how each stage impacts the water filtration process.

Stage 1: A 5 micron pre-filter which removes particles like sediment, dirt, and dust begins working. As it also filters out microscopic particles, it also removes larger sediments and protects the main tank from clogging and damage,

Stage 2: A tank containing crushed minerals and copper-zinc oxidation media removes over 95% of chlorine; it also makes sure the pH is alkaline which carries many health benefits. Because it is an antioxidant, alkaline water is considered healthier for our own bodies. This could be a positive addition to your water.

Stage 3: A high grade carbon filter further removes chlorine and other harmful contaminants; after all, carbon media is top-quality agent in chlorine-removal.

Stage 4: A 0.35 micron post filter that can remove organic particles and microscopic cysts is utilized. However, this filter is only available with the pro kit upgrade.

The Aquasana water filters are relatively inexpensive, and it’s an expense that is well worth the money as it increases the efficiency of your unit. Attaining these filters is simple as they are readily available on Amazon and the Aquasana website.

Installation and Maintenance

The Aquasana unit will last 10-years or 1,000,000 gallons; these numbers were created based on the average water consumption of a family of four which serves as a good baseline. The size of your family, however, can affect the lifespan of your unit. Simply asking your plumber for additional water meter added at installation allows you to gauge your use of the unit.

Bottom Line

All in all, the Aquasana Rhino is a top-of-the-market whole house unit. Its 0.35 micron pre-filter is the most refined we have seen in a whole home unit. This, combined with the fact that it meets NSF certification standards, and you have a consumer-oriented water filter system. Though it is more expensive than most, this price provides the most effective filtration unit there is.
