The system holds no NSF listing, so the alkaline claim and the contaminant list both rest on the manufacturer's own data.
AquasurePremier Advanced 75 GPD
The certification picture needs stating carefully: Aquasure's only NSF listing anywhere covers two RO membrane part numbers under NSF/ANSI 58 for material and structural integrity requirements only, which verifies that the membrane does not leach and holds pressure, not that it removes anything.
Nothing here is certified for contaminant reduction performance, so the 99 percent figure in Aquasure's copy is a manufacturer claim with no test report behind it.

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.

Two r/WaterTreatment and r/HomeMaintenance threads cover this exact system.
One owner reports installing the Premier and measuring 420 ppm TDS at the RO faucet, falling to about 360, which is a poor rejection figure and drew a run of diagnostic replies.
The second describes the Flowlok leak-detection disc deploying during a filter change when a drain-line restrictor fitting leaked, which reads as the safety feature working rather than a defect.
Beyond those, Aquasure discussion in the subreddit is about the softeners, and the general view of budget under-sink RO there is sceptical about wastewater and mineral removal rather than about this brand.

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 under-sink RO roundups that bench-test at this price point still do not include Aquasure, so there is owner evidence but no independent testing.
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.

The Premier 75 GPD RO reads 4.4 of 5 from roughly 276 ratings, seen on two separate storefront reads at a matching $179.99.
The brushed nickel and extra-output variants carry their own ASINs with no ratings on them, so this figure belongs to the chrome system rather than to a shared file.

Home Depot reads 4.5 of 5 from 41 reviews on the brushed nickel version of this system, which is the identical hardware with a different faucet finish.
The pool is native, with verified-purchase entries and Aquasure replying under its own support address, and at 41 reviews it is comfortably above the ten-review floor and the deepest product-level retailer pool on any Aquasure RO.
The rest of the Premier range sits lower at the same retailer, 4.2 from 10 on the 100 GPD Pro and 4.0 from 8 on the alkaline version, so this is the best-reviewed of them rather than a figure that carries across the line.
Unless a row says otherwise, both readings are about these exact models.
