31023 1000-GPD Evolution RO1000 High Flow RO system

I had very hard water that left every piece of glassware etched.. Couldn't wash out car at home either as it would leave white etching stains all over the paint and windshield. These were nearly impossible to remove even with CLR. I finally had enough, bought a storage tank and tried this unit out. UNDERSTAND that you MUST feed it soft water if you have hard water because hard water kills the membranes. So we feed this soft water. 2.5 yrs later and I am still running the original membranes. I track ppm monthly, originally 660ppm which went down to 11ppm and varies now between 17ppm-27ppm depending on the season (high water level at river seems to affect it) but it's absolutely excellent. Wondering how long the membranes will last. We are on well water and use approximately 150-200 gallons/day and run a simple large pre filter (pre water softener) so ensure there is no sediment entering our unit. Can't be happier with the overall result.

this unit is very easy to install. and arrived promptly . My well water is very hard (1950 ppm) and the produced RO water is perfect (40-80 ppm). We use 200-400 gallons of water every day and this unit keeps up very well until the filters start to plug. In our case about 5-6 months. I had some trouble finding replacement filters and wish amazon would link replacements.I wrote the above review abou a unit i put in a rental house I own . After one year of constant use the RO system is working fantastic. (filter life @ 8 months) So last month I installed one in my own farm house. Thirty years of hauling salt for softeners is over. My dishes sparkle out of the dishwasher ...the hard water stains that I always needed to scrub out of my toilets, sinks and showers are gone!!! I recommend this to anyone that wants a trouble free system.

Very disappointed! I bought this to RO my water but unlike my previous Evolution1000, to my disappointment, the RO water coming out after 1 running/draining 1 full day it is still @ 140 ppm! I noticed that the plastic housing color is a little bit off white comparing to my previous Evolution1000. Could it be a fake/imitation?

Okay unit. On a well with a 30/50 pressure switch without the added pressure pump, you will not get 1000G per day. More like 250, which is still fairly decent. Also the waste output is more like 2.5:1 rather than 2:1.Also - the unit would be far better if some sort of rig was put in place to hold the lines as they come out of the elbows. I used duct tape to secure the three lines and elbows to the unit so they would be straight. Otherwise it leaked everywhere. A design flaw for sure that could be fixed with a 2$ piece of plastic.

Hook up was very easy, it came with everything needed for a quick hookup. It took me about half an hour to get it ready for use. I have the produced water going into a 30 gall pressure tank and it fills in less than an hour with 45psi town water. Makes way more clean water than I could ever use even with my commercial ice machine.
