Our house is on a septic system.
I am thinking of buying the Cuno Aqua Pure AP902, due to its low price.
Just have some questions, since this will be my first purchase of a whole house filtration system
How difficult is this to set up?
Reinstaling cartridges…easy or not?
How will I know when it’s time to change filters? Will debris begin resurfacing in our water?
Is this the best for the cost, or should I buy the most expensive model?

Normally, I have heard some companies ask to take their yearly maintenance service (that costs a lot), otherwise they don’t give spares(filter, UV….etc.) or say presently out of stock… I am interested in Aqua Guard RO Smart or Aqua Fresh Dolphin or please suggest any better at reasonable price.

My dad took out a refrigerator replacement water filter by Aqua Fresh with WF285 on it. It i is suppose to be compatible with whirlpool 4396508. However, the insertion parts on both in look different and he says the 4396508 does not fit properly, not matter what angle he inserts it in or how he turns it. Is there a different one that he should get, or is he he missing a step in the installation process?

We had our water softener for 7 years and the filter media lasted for 6 years. When it was time to change it, the softner released a brown dye in the water, that let us know it was time to be serviced. We had the filter media replaced and a year later the dye is being released again. The repair man says we need new filter media but I don’t understand why it last so long before and this time it only lasted a year. I am wondering if our service man did it correctly last time or even if he is honest. Does anyone know anything about the Aqua Maid reverse osmosis drinking water system 5 stage unit? Is it normal to replace the media once a year?

which water softner system to buy?




he water softner system cost around 0 at Lowes and with installation and everything it will roughly be 00 (including reverse osmosis filteration).

On the other hand, we had a representative from GE-Aqua-pure selling water softner+osmosis system with installation for 00. He claims the system is better than HomeDepot and other places. Does anyone has experience to share with water softners. Thanks

How do I get my aquarium to cycle?




I need serious help. I set up a 46 gallon aquarium at the beginning of June and can’t get it to cycle. Unfortunately, I have listened to advice from 3 different pet shops, and all 3 had different answers. I initially ran the aquarium for a week, then my local pet shop told me to add bacteria and 2 goldfish, which I did. Of course the ammonia climbed, as it should have, so next, 2 pet stores told me I had to perform frequent water changes, preferably some every day, which I did-about 2 gallons every morning, which kept the ammonia at about .5 ppm. Fish stressing from ammonia. I kept this up until a couple weeks ago. I had a Tetra Whisper filter and could not figure out how the bacteria filter would grow in that setup. The NEXT pet store told me the filter was no good, so I switched to an Aqua Pure three-stage filter which includes sponge material for the bacterial colony. They said my frequent water changes were keeping the aquarium from cycling and that I should stop it until cycling had occured. They also suggested I add Bio-zyme every day for a week, which I did per the instructions. They told me it would cycle the aquarium in a week. Nope, still no cycling occuring. Ammonia has been at 1.0 ppm for a week now and I am afraid I am going to lose both my fish. What the heck am I doing wrong?? Where should I go from here?
In response to the first answer-has the bacteria had long enough to grow, since I switched filters a week ago? Or does it exist on all surfaces, not just the filter?

I`m going to petsmart in a little bit to take care of some fish needs and need some more of that kind of stuff.

Also, what on earth is HBH Aqua-Pure ammonia reducer? A friend of my dads gave us a 40 or 50 gal tank along with the setup, all the fish products, basically 00 worth of stuff. This product was included and I have no idea how to use it. I dont need to use it yet, but it would be a good idea to know how to.

It says to place rinsed zeolite granules in aqua-pure filter media bad of other filtration equipment. What does that mean?
No it isnt new. The previous owner had the tank for several years. She got rid of it because she was moving and didnt have enough room for it. There was only one fish left but it died.

Anyone use a Reverse Osmosis water filter.?




I’m looking for a good R.O. water filter that that doesn’t require purchasing a replacement cartridge every few months. I currently use an Aqua Wizard, and I really like it, but I have to replace the filter every 8-10 weeks. What kind do you use, how much does it cost and how much are the replacement filters?

Salt water fish tank filters?




Now I need help with the filters. It’s a 35 gal salt water tank that was a fresh water tank not filled yet. I was told I could use a Bio wheel, but after looking into it they seem to have alot of faults, as the wheel stops turning from time to time, and if you loose power and the wheel dries out you’re screwed. I have a Aqua Pure 200 that is rated very good for all 3 types of filtering that I used on my fresh water tank that worked very well. I know the filter system in a salt water tank is somewhat different then fresh, but I was told again that the AP200 along with a powerhead would be fine for that size tank, was I informed right? To set up my tank I plan on using the sand sold in the store, and live rock, then let it cycle for a few weeks. Is that enough to get the Bio going? Or do I need to do anything else? I was also told I do not need air stones in a salt tank as I did in fresh water tank as long as I have a powerhead?

Question for homeowners about water filter…?




I just bought a new house with well water.We are having a problem with iron in our water and it’s dying everything yellow. We have a cheap aqua pure whole house water filter and I was thinking the most cost effective way to help this problem would be to buy another cheap filter. My quetion is can you have two water filters or will it slow down the flow of water or cause any other problems?
