This is a very low maintenance type of whole house system as opposed to salt ion exchange ones. The only replacement items are the pre-filter every 6-9 months. A simple drop-in change out of a cartridge. And then every 5 years on the larger activated charcoal canister. We just changed our AC media and I must say it is easy to do by yourself! So no expensive plumber to bring out for that maintenance job. It definitely does get rid of Chlorine. Because while we are waiting out the mandatory 48-hour soak period and it is off-line, I can already tell our shower water smells different and the water from the faucets tastes bad now! The second stage is for hard water reduction or removal of minerals like calcium dissolved in your water that can cause damage down the road to a lot of your household appliances. This is harder to determine if it's effective. But we have had it installed since 2012 and no problems yet.
