Good Points: -Low maintenance. All you need to do is change the pre sediment filter every 6-8 months depending on usage. Changing the filter took less than 2 minutes. -Clean, good tasting water from every faucet in the house. -No more need to buy heavy salt bags. -Great shower and bathing water. -Beotron unit is small and doesn't take up a lot of space in the garage. -No more "space taking" reverse osmosis system under the sink for drinking water. -Drinking water and ice cubes from the refrigerator taste great with no "weird" smell. -Clothes come out better and last longer using filtered water vs. hard water.
Bad Points: -Dishes still get spotty but not as bad as unfiltered "hard" water.
General comments: Before getting a LifeSource Water Filtration Unit we used to get our water filtered renting a Culligan system. We decided to get rid of the Culligan system because of 3 reasons: 1) More and more legislation was being passed "banning" salt water systems in our area due to the waste it produced in local rivers, 2) Culligan often would raise the monthly fees to lease the water softener unit, and 3) The Culligan system required a separate, bulky reverse osmosis unit under the kitchen sink which would take up a lot of space AND there was an additional fees associated with that unit as well.
The Lifesource Beotron system is an excellent unit. We purchased the system outright and have been happy ever since. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this unit again. The unit was professional installed in about 4 hours. The unit is small enough to be out of the way in the garage.

I've had my LifeSource Water Filtration Unit for 8 years. Not one problem and I have great tasting water. No maintenance. Water throughout the house tastes great. No smells. No chlorine. No need to add salt or other minerals.

I would not recommend LifeSource Water Systems for anything. The company earned a gold seal from the Water Quality Association for the beotron series, but not any other product. The system they sold us I would say was poorly designed to handle the treatment of our well water properly. Please do not buy from this company if you are on your own private well. Contact your local well supply store or find another company. DO NOT USE THEM AT ALL FOR PRIVATE WELLS.

If you have really hard water like we do, I wouldn't recommend this LifeSource Water Filtration Unit. We have to change our pre sediment filters quite often. Although we do not use as much soap. We still have spotty dishes, sinks, showers, scally dishwasher etc. As far as making the deposits disappear, it did not even come close to what the salesman said it could do. If you want to improve the taste of your water, I think it would be more economical to just put in a high end carbon filter.

Although calcium and magnesium are good for you, they are in a non organic form in the water. You are better off taking a vitamin or eating healthy the relying on your water for these items. Hard water might even increase the risk of kidney stones. Your kidneys are forced to filter it out, leaving residual. Eat your veggies and you'll be fine. Culligan offers a 2 in 1 carbon/softener system that works great. Either way, I find Lifesource is just a over priced carbon filter. Be prepared to contin ...

It is more that just a Granular carbon filter, it conditions the minerals..sure I have spots but they wipe off with
a damp or dry cloth...plus I've done research and found out that research by the World Health Org. has stated that
calcium and magnesium are essential for the body...and lack of thereof can cause CVD, cardio-vascular disease.

I had very high hopes for the very expensive LifeSource Water Filtration and "water softening" unit. We used to have a soft water system that used salt/potassium, but we were having problems with the taste of the water. The LifeSource web site and literature made me believe that this would be the solution to my problems. Yes, the water tastes great, but it takes extra work now to get my clothes clean (I have 4 year old twin boys, so clothes can get quite dirty). This system doesn't eliminat ...

LifeSource Water Filtration Unit - We wanted an alternative to regular water softeners. My wife hates the slippery feel they cause. The Lifesource system made the water taste great, so we cancelled our water deliveries and saved a bunch of money there. This system took out the chlorine, even in the shower. My wife still comments how smooth her skin is. The company was easy to deal with and has pretty good service. Way better than any water system we've ever had, we love our water!
