Our take
The listing contradicts itself on grain capacity, so we show it as unconfirmed until Aquasure's spec sheet settles it.
Who it suits: households that already buy bottled water and want both soft water for the house and RO water for cooking and drinking. The RO unit needs space under the kitchen sink for a storage tank, a drain connection and its own faucet. Because the listing contradicts itself on grain capacity, confirm the size with Aquasure before ordering; for a family of four on 12 gpg water a 48,000-grain softener is ample, while very hard water or a bigger household justifies the larger size.
The bundle splits into two jobs. The whole-house softener and pre-filter go on the main line; the four-stage RO unit goes under the kitchen sink with its own faucet and a drain saddle. Installing RO after a softener is a sensible order because soft water reduces scaling on the RO membrane.
Running costs are higher than a softener alone: RO pre-filters and membranes are replaced on the maker's schedule, and the system sends some water to drain as it filters. If you only need drinking water, an RO unit alone is cheaper; if you only need softening, buy the Harmony softener alone.
