Aquasure's claimed 8.5 to 10 pH range is at the aggressive end of what remineralisation cartridges achieve, and the upper figure would be unusual in practice;
Express WaterROALK10
The remineralisation stage does what it claims and makes a measurable difference to mouthfeel, and independent testing of the sibling RO5DX recorded a final-stage pH of 9.0.

no test data supports either end.
The RO hardware underneath is identical to the standard model, including the 1.5 to 1 drain ratio that is the best specification on either system.
Certification is unchanged and worth restating: Aquasure's only NSF listing covers two RO membrane part numbers for material and structural integrity, not for removing anything, and the lead-free faucet claim is a component materials certification.
Express WaterROALK10
The system holds no NSF listing, so the alkaline claim and the contaminant list both rest on the manufacturer's own data.

Two r/WaterTreatment and r/HomeMaintenance threads cover the Premier RO platform this system is built on.
One owner reports 420 ppm TDS at the faucet on a new install, settling to about 360, which is a poor rejection figure; the second describes the Flowlok leak-detection disc deploying during a filter change when a drain-line fitting leaked, which reads as the safety feature working.
Nothing addresses the alkaline stage specifically, and the subreddit's general scepticism about alkaline water claims is background rather than evidence about this unit.

Product. r/HydroHomies discusses this exact system and concludes the water does come out alkaline but that the strength drifts over cartridge life.
Wider r/WaterTreatment threads recommend the platform for taste and value while flagging the involved install and the cabinet space the tank demands, and O-rings weeping at the housings recur as the mechanical complaint across the range.

WaterFilterGuru bench-tested the platform's RO5DX with Tap Score lab analysis at 8.13 overall and measured a final stage lifting pH to 9.0, which is the closest independent measurement of this remineralisation stage available.
TapWaterData records that no alkaline SKU appears in any certifier's database, so the mineral claim rests on Express Water's own data.

IrixGuy's Adventure Channel, 98,800 subscribers, has two independent owner reviews of the Premier RO - one after several months at 6,100 views and a several-years follow-up - and a separate third-party self-install walkthrough covers the same 4-stage system.
None names a specific capacity, so this is the Premier line rather than this model.
The alkaline stage is not addressed in any of them, and the RO roundups that bench-test at this price point do not include Aquasure.
Brand-level coverage is the Harmony softeners: DIY Homestead Projects at roughly 115,000 views, NKP Home Improvement at roughly 94,000, geminidrums at 15,000 on the fine mesh and IrixGuy's two-year owner review at 13,000.

No separate Amazon listing for the alkaline 75 GPD configuration carries a readable rating; the replacement alkaline cartridge has its own pool and is a consumable, not the system.
The score falls back to the Premier 75 GPD at 4.4 from roughly 276, which is the same system without the remineralisation stage.

Home Depot lists this alkaline model at 4.0 of 5 from eight reviews, which is below the ten-review floor and not scorable on its own, so the figure used is the standard Premier Advanced at 4.5 of 5 from 41 reviews on the same RO hardware.
That pool is native, with verified-purchase entries and Aquasure replying under its own support address.
Scored a point below the standard model because the alkaline version's own eight-review file, thin as it is, points lower rather than higher, and because the 100 GPD Pro at 4.2 from 10 sits between them.
