5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, good price, smooth install. Very happy!
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2016
This shipped quickly and was as described. I had no problems connecting everything and really went together uneventfully.
The shipment came as two boxes, which arrived on different days.

The resin came pre-loaded from ABC Water, they also e-mailed the instructions, setup and programming ahead of time. There are also good videos on programming the Fleck valve -- but it's pretty easy.
The instructions were clear and in all it was a straightforward install. I have plumbing experience and had set things up ahead of time -- but I'd never set up a softener before.

A couple of minor notes: I had already installed a 3 valve bypass using ball valves, I didn't need the bypass that came with the unit -- It's modular, so you can leave the bypass off if you have a similar situation.

The unit comes with 1" Male pipe thread connections - but if you need something else check with the seller to see if they can substitute. ABCWater seems to be accommodating.That piece is modular as well, so they can swap out that part pretty easily.

You do have to install these with an air gap - you can't install a softener and just stick the drain hose into the drain. I picked up an air gap that fits into the 1.5-2" drain line along with the washing machine drain at big box hardware.

You do need to test your water to set things up properly (or even know if this is the right product for you). If you are on City water and don't have an Iron issue, then buy a reliable test kit (I used the Hach 145300 Total Hardness kit). If you have Iron or any other issues get your water tested by a reputable testing company (not someone selling you a water softener).

Update 4 years later: Works great I'm still very happy with this choice.

3.0 out of 5 stars So far so good other than a leaky bypass
Reviewed in Canada on May 13, 2019
Package finally arrived, and in good condition. Installation was easy and set up was also quite simple. Have been using it for about a week now and it still has a slow leak on the inlet side of the bypass valve. I thought it might seal itself up but it's still leaking. I have to keep a pail underneath it. A little bit disappointed with the leak. Also didn't come with any silicone sealant so I had to go get some but not a huge deal, just wish the bypass didn't leak.
