My water filter replaced an old water softener that had been disconnected by the previous owner of my home. I live in eastern Idaho where the water is pulled from an aquifer and is mineralized needing filtration. This filter does its job and is easy to change the filter element annually.
Hi Kenneth, Thanks for taking the time to leave a fantastic review! We're so happy to hear our filter is doing a great job handling your mineralized well water in eastern Idaho. Easy annual filter replacements are definitely a plus! If you ever have any questions about your filter or need any assistance in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out.
The overall cartridge works well. Still issues with build up, but satisfied with how it works.
Stephen, thanks for the fantastic review! We're glad the ICS-SP1222K with PolyHalt® is working well overall. To address the remaining buildup you mentioned, our customer service team would be happy to discuss some troubleshooting tips or answer any questions you might have. We're committed to ensuring you achieve the best possible water quality. Thanks for choosing Cascadian Water!
I still get water spots on dishes and on faucets.
Hi George, thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear you're still experiencing water spots on dishes and faucets. While water softeners like the ICS-1242K significantly reduce hard water minerals that cause these spots, sometimes trace amounts remain.
We have some helpful resources on our website that might help:
- Why Water Softeners May Leave Spots: You can find this article by visiting our website at www.cascadianwater.com and searching for 'spots'.
- Preventing Dishwasher Spots: While on cascadianwater.com search for 'dish' to locate it.
If these resources don't address your concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our customer service team. We're happy to help troubleshoot further and ensure you're getting the most out of your water softener.
I have a plumber replace the filters once a year. I have one set I keep on hand for the replacement and purchase a new one to have on hand. I live in an area with hard water and this filter cleans the water before it flows throughout the house. The water tastes clean.
MartyD, thank you for the fantastic review! We're delighted to hear the ICS-STPK keeps your home's water clean and tasting great throughout the year. Smart planning to keep a spare filter on hand - it ensures uninterrupted enjoyment of soft, clean water. Thanks for choosing Cascadian Water!
I received my cartridge and immediately went to install it but taking it out of the box I found that my cartridge was broken in half and spilling beads out. I did not manhandle it and the packaging seemed adequate to protect it in shipping so I either got a bad example or the materials used are not sturdy enough. The nuvo cartridges are rigid plastic and seem very durable. Cascade cartridges are 50% more expensive and feel like they are made out of packing materials. Customer service was attentive and prompt in mailing a free replacement. It seems to be working as intended.
Dear John, Thank you for your review of the Cascadian ICS-SP1222K Nuvo Home Alternative Replacement Filter. We're glad to hear the replacement filter is functioning well, and we apologize for the unfortunate experience you had with the initial unit. Our Cascadian ICS-SP1222K filters, while more expensive upfront, include sediment filtration and last twice as long as Nuvo filters (one replacement per year), making them a real bargain in the long run!
We take product quality very seriously, and any damage during transit is unacceptable. We're committed to continuous improvement, we're investigating the matter further to ensure proper packaging and handling to prevent similar occurrences. We're also happy to hear our customer service team was able to assist you promptly with a replacement. Thank you for your understanding and for choosing Cascadian Water.
$100 is overpriced for a small water filter. The fact that it can only ordered from the company is also wrong. There is no pricing competition.
Hi Susan,Thank you for your feedback. We understand your concerns about price and availability. While it features advanced technology for optimal performance, we acknowledge individual needs vary. We'd love to discuss alternatives that might better suit you, please contact our customer service team.

This year Cascadian have updated their subscription program. Because the timing of this update was precisely when our subscription was due to shipped, we wound up with two sets of filters arriving a day apart.

Price is ridiculous
Hi Gary, Thanks for your concern over price. We do offer an annual subscription service where you can save 10% on filters. If you would like to subscribe we'll be happy to help!
This was my first year in a house with a Cascadian system. Replacing the filters made an immediate difference in water quality. Mine needed to be changed after about 10 months; at that point I was smelling chlorine and some other off odors. It cost close to $200 to hire a plumber to change the filters, and even for him it wasn't a piece of cake. So between the filters and the plumber, plan on spending about $700 a year. Be aware that the Cascadian system does not remove PFAS from your water, if that is a problem in your area. I installed an additional Zerowater filtration system for my drinking water to take care of that problem.
Ordering the replacement filters from Cascadian was fast and easy, and they arrived in a couple of days. Very nice service on the phone as well.
Hi A Rudenko, Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear the filters made an immediate difference in your water quality. We understand replacing filters can be daunting, especially the first time. We'd like to offer an alternative for future changes: DIY!
Many customers find changing Cascadian filters themselves to be a breeze. We have a comprehensive video guide that walks you through the process step-by-step: [link to video https://youtu.be/RP-WMjzIft0?. It's quick, easy, and can save you hundreds.
Of course, if you prefer professional assistance, we completely understand. We're happy to recommend a trusted plumber in your area.
As for PFAS, you're right - our system doesn't currently address this emerging contaminant. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and are actively exploring solutions.
Thank you again for your feedback. We're always working to improve your Cascadian experience, and your insights are valuable.
Sincerely, The Cascadian Team
I have not installed the most recent purchased filter. This would be the 2nd replacement. The original and 1st replacement did exactly what we had hoped for and that was provide us with soft water for showers that we have been used to for several years! It works great and lasts longer than advertised.
Jim, Thank you for your fantastic 5-star review! Your words about the effectiveness and longevity of the ICS-TPK filter truly mean a lot to us.
We're delighted to know that our salt-free softener and activated carbon combo has become an essential part of your home, and we're especially proud that it's exceeding your expectations with its durability.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we hope you continue to enjoy the benefits of soft, clean water for years to come. Thank you for choosing Cascadian Water!
The filter works for a year without fail. The pre-filter removed during the exchange is always brown and we are grateful that the filtration system works so well. I couldn't imagine having no system.
Thanks for the awesome review, John! We're thrilled the ICS-SIK filter keeps your water clear for a year. The brown pre-filter is proof it's working hard! We're always here if you need anything.
We moved into our home in Gig Harbor six years ago. We had our water tested since we were on a private water system. We then installed a Cascadian Water Filter. The system made a difference in the color and taste of our water. Changing the filter annually is quick and easy.
Hi Frank, Your 5-star review for the ICS-SPK filter made our day! We're delighted that it's been providing clean, delicious water for your Gig Harbor home since you moved in six years ago.

We're thrilled you find the annual filter change quick and easy – convenience is another key focus for us.
Replaced old salt water treatment system with the Cascadian ICS-TP system in 2017, and we're extremely satisfied!
The complete system takes up less than a third of the space of the old system, it's much easier to replace the filters than making a mess with the rock salt, their video providing step by step directions of replacing filters is outstanding, the staff is experienced and helpful, and the water is cleaner and softer resulting in less hardwater buildup of our faucets.
With what we've experienced, we'd choose the Cascadian ICS-TP system 100 times out of 100 over ANY other system!
Dear Glenn G., Thank you so much for taking the time to share your fantastic review of the Cascadian ICS-TP system and the ICS-TPK replacement filters!

This was my first attempt at replacing the filter by myself. I did not use YouTube or any other instructions as this was a pretty intuitive procedure . Everything went well. Only improvement ,ent I can think of is to put the lubricant tube/ instructions into the same poly bag as the filter so that they are easier to see. My lube/instruction kit got hung up in the shipping box, so I did not see them until after the install was complete.
Hi David,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a fantastic review of the ICS-SPK replacement water filter! We're thrilled to hear that you found the installation process intuitive and straightforward, even without consulting any extra instructions.
Your point about the lubricant tube and instructions is absolutely spot-on. We strive to make our products as user-friendly as possible, and that includes having readily accessible information during the installation process. We'll definitely take your feedback into account and see what we can do to improve the packaging so that all the necessary components are clearly visible and readily accessible.
We're happy to hear that everything went smoothly in the end, and we hope you're enjoying the clean, fresh water from your ICS-SP system! If you have any other questions or feedback in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Thanks again for your review, David!

This filter works great and lasts a year for us. We have good well water but it has a small amount of fine brown sediment that stains everything from white clothes to toilets. This filter pays for itself by saving our stuff from staining. I'm glad our contractor recommended it.
