His iron filter system had done its job for nearly two decades, but like most things that age, it eventually started showing signs of failure \u2014 developing leaks and no longer removing iron from the water effectively. It was time for a replacement.<\/p>\n<p>After researching his options, Austin found Clean Water Store and liked the idea of working with a company that could both test his water and provide the right system to fix it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Austin&#8217;s Experience \u2014 In His Own Words<\/h2>\n<blockquote style=\"border-left: 4px solid #1a6496; padding: 1em 1.5em; margin: 1.5em 0; background: #f4f8fb; font-style: italic; font-size: 1.05em; line-height: 1.8; color: #2c2c2c;\"><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">&#8220;I was looking for a quality whole home iron filter system and stumbled across your website. I liked the idea of having my water tested by the same company that could sell me the system to resolve my water issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">My old system that you will see in the photos was around eighteen years old and was starting to develop some leaks and stopped removing the iron from our water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The new system I purchased was well organized and arrived in perfect condition. The installation manual was great and answered all of my questions during the installation. I really appreciated the support and advice that was provided throughout the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The removal of my old filter and installation of the new took about a day for me to complete. The system seems very well made \u2014 my only thing I didn&#8217;t care for was the mount for my Ozone generator, which I chose not to use and attached mine to a board near the filter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I can tell a huge improvement in our water quality since we installed the new filter. I&#8217;m very happy with this whole experience and really appreciate your company&#8217;s attention to detail!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u2014
