What Our Customers Say
"This is my second Crystal Quest RO system - the first one was awesome and lasted 2.5 years. After consulting with their chemist about my city's water report, we added fluoride and nitrate pre-filters since my water is at EPA maximums for several categories. There are other manufacturers out there, but I consider these to be the 'Cadillac' of them all. I'm a contractor and recommend them to my clients all the time."
- Daniel M., Contractor
"Crystal Quest is an outstanding company, providing safe and good tasting water filters that are better than their competitors on quality and value. We've been using for many years and they always deliver an excellent product and have good customer service - very rare in today's economy. I can only assign them a 5 star rating."
- Lynne S.
"We had above recommended drinking levels of arsenic in our water. After talking to a few name brand installers about a whole house system, I decided to do this myself for half the cost. The Crystal Quest system arrived on time and was well packaged, installation was easy and clear with solid instructions. And the best part, tested the water and arsenic levels were 'none detected'. Could not be happier!!"
- Zach B.
