Usability
The 9 GPM rating is the specification that should decide this purchase, and it is the reason the 600,000 gallon tank suits a one to two bathroom home and nothing larger. Within that envelope the media does what carbon and KDF55 do well: Aquasure's support staff quote 95 percent chlorine, 80 to 95 percent chloramine and 80 percent heavy metals, figures given in correspondence rather than from a test report. Six years of media life against one tank is a genuinely low cost of ownership, and unlike the cartridge Fortitude systems there is no six-month replacement to budget for. The system requires a manual backwash and rinse every seven to ten days, which is real maintenance that the marketing does not foreground. Aquasure states directly that the Fortitude Pro is built from NSF certified components but that the system itself has never gone through NSF certification and that no spec sheet exists as a result. That is an unusually candid answer and it is also the reason the certification score here is what it is.
- Six years or 600,000 gallons of media before the tank needs attention
- KDF85 upgrade available under a separate SKU for hydrogen sulphide odour
- Aquasure quotes 95 percent chlorine and 80 to 95 percent chloramine reduction
- Both 3/4 inch and 1 inch NPT connections available
- Five year warranty on registration, and 106 reviews on the manufacturer's page indicate real volume
- 9 GPM rated flow is genuinely limiting: this tank cannot serve more than two bathrooms
- Requires a manual backwash and rinse every seven to ten days
- Aquasure confirms the system holds no NSF certification and that no spec sheet exists
- Reduction percentages come from support correspondence, not from a published test report
- No published tank dimensions
- Backwashing consumes water and requires a drain line
The Aquasure Fortitude Pro 600,000 gallon system is the smallest of the three Fortitude Pro backwashing tanks, sized by the manufacturer for one to three people and one to two bathrooms. It uses a GAC and KDF55 mixed media bed rated for 600,000 gallons or six years, with a rated service flow of 9 GPM. A KDF85 media upgrade is sold under AS-FP600P for fifty dollars more and is what Aquasure recommends for hydrogen sulphide odour.
