Reviews

GREAT QUALITY AND DOES EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS IT WILL DO!

"I love how the Kind Water System makes city water taste so much better and it is great for showering; makes my skin and hair feel so much better. It has gone viral in my neighborhood: 17 of us have bought the system and we all love it! And our wonderful plumber, who lives in our neighborhood, recommends them, has one himself and has installed all of them."

Pam R. (5/5)

Very easy install, awesome product

"Very easy install, awesome product quality. So far very satisfied with all aspects of the equipment, the water quality is far better than we had expected. Kudos to Kind and the people that we have dealt with, great job"

Linda M. (5/5)

Total game changer! Our water

"Total game changer! Our water feels silky and luxurious and leaves our skin soft and clean after showers and baths. Since we can use this salt free water outside we can easily water lawn and wash our cars without worrying about hard water spots. The water tastes good as well but to be fair we use an r/o filter under our kitchen sink for drinking water."

Cynthia B. (5/5)

Very happy with our E3000 System

"We've had the E3000 system installed for just a few days, and we are already very pleased with the results. Our water is noticeably softer. Our hair and skin feel much silkier, and there is no chlorine odor on our bodies. Our clothes are softer, and our drinking water tastes cleaner. We are very pleased with our purchase."

Steve R. (5/5)

It is wonder! No more

"It is wonder! No more sulfur smell! No more dry white skin from the chlorine. Soap lathers nicely and clothes smell fresh!!"

George F. (5/5)

Love Kind!

"I decided to wait before sending a review of Kind whole house water filtration and softener combo. Tried the water after installation for a few weeks and Yes, we Love it! There is definitely a good change in the water taste, no more replacing the fridge/freezer filter. I can wash food and cook knowing it’s clean water. Our hair and skin texture has improved, not overnight but it has. No more spotty films on drinking glasses when using the dishwasher. Doing laundry also has improved. So Happy I chose Kind when I decided to do an upgrade, not cheap since I also used a professional plumber for install."

Carlota A. (5/5)

"I am really happy with your good customer service. It had a lot to do with my purchase of your whole house water filter. the continued well informed support by your customer care has me rave to friends about the benefits of buying this filter system."

Henry A. (5/5)

Our Kind system is delivering

"Our Kind system is delivering as promised. Both our skin and hair are cleaner and smoother and without itchy after effects as we often experienced before."

Gary C. (5/5)

New install

"Just started using the system. Seems to be working great. I’ll know more with more use but so far so good. Easy to install and start enjoying quickly."

William J. (5/5)

I replaced my old bulky

"I replaced my old bulky whole house water filter and soft water tanks that were a regular maintenance issue and wasted water with the backwash cycle weekly. This system was almost half the cost I paid about 10 years ago and works well without having to deal with the expensive bags of sodium. Very pleased. Joe K"

Q&A

FAQ

Will this really replace bottled water for my family?

For most families, the answer is yes.
Many customers say they stopped buying bottled water entirely after installing the E-3000. The water tastes clean and fresh straight from the tap, which gives people confidence to drink, cook, and fill bottles at home without relying on cases from the store.

How much do families usually spend on bottled water each year?

A typical household spends $600–$1,200 per year on bottled water when you factor in weekly purchases, bulk packs, or delivery services. Many customers choose the E-3000 because it eliminates that recurring cost, and the hassle that comes with it.

Will the water really taste as good as bottled water?

In many cases, customers say it tastes better.
Reviews frequently mention that once the system is installed, the water has no odor, no chlorine taste, and feels noticeably cleaner, making bottled water unnecessary.

How quickly will I notice a difference?

Most customers notice improvements immediately, especially in taste and smell.
Some benefits, like reduced scale buildup, happen gradually over time as existing mineral deposits are conditioned and flushed out naturally.

What does “salt-free” really mean? Will I still see minerals?

Salt-free means the system conditions minerals instead of removing them with salt.
You may still see minerals in your water (which is normal and healthy), but they’re treated so they don’t stick, build up, or damage plumbing. This avoids slippery water, added sodium, and ongoing salt maintenance.

Will this stop scale completely?

The E-3000 is designed to significantly reduce scale buildup, not magically erase existing deposits overnight. Over time, many customers notice fixtures are easier to clean and new buildup is much less stubborn.

How will I know the system is working correctly?

Customers often say the biggest signs are:

  • Better-tasting water
  • No chlorine smell
  • More confidence drinking from the tap
  • Less reliance on bottled water

If you ever have questions, our support team is there to help at (877) 667-1857 to confirm everything is operating as it should.

Is this system high maintenance?

No, that’s one of the biggest reasons customers choose it.
There’s no salt to buy, store, or refill, and maintenance is minimal compared to traditional softeners. Many customers describe it as a “set it and forget it” solution.

How long do the filters last and what maintenance does the system require?

Regular filter changes (every 6-12 months depending on your water quality) is the only main maintenance task required for E-3000. Filter replacement is very easy and only takes a few minutes, you do not need a plumber for these tasks. E-3000 Replacement

Is the E-3000 worth the investment?

Customers consistently say yes, especially when they consider:

  • Money saved on bottled water
  • Less hassle hauling salt
  • Fewer plumbing and fixture issues
  • Peace of mind drinking from every tap

For many families, it’s a one-time decision that replaces years of recurring costs and inconvenience.

Will it improve taste/odor of my water?

Yes, the high-performance carbon media in the E3000 is highly effective at reducing chlorine, improving taste, removing unpleasant odors in your city water.

Can it handle water for a large household?

Yes, the E3000 is designed to handle high flow rates up to 15 GPM, making it suitable for homes with up to 5 full bathrooms and works for 98% of US homes.

How much space does it take to install?

It typically requires about 3–4 feet of wall space (doesn’t require any floor space) and should be installed in a location that is accessible for maintenance.

Will it affect my water pressure?

When installed correctly, the E3000 is designed to maintain strong water pressure of 15 GPM (gallons per minute) for your home. This is good enough to run up to 5 showers and appliances (such as dishwashers or washers ) at the same time with no noticeable drop in water pressure.

Does it require electricity?

No, the E-3000 does not require any electricity.

Can it be combined with other filtration systems?

Yes, the E3000 can be installed alongside additional treatment systems if needed, such as reverse osmosis, UV systems, or specialty filters.
