After several years of using pitcher based cartridges that are a fumble to work with, technically marginal in offering only minor purification and fairly costly in the long run, we decided to buy a more robust system. This unit is much better at removing nasties from the water although our city water is reasonably pure to begin with. This under-sink system is more cost effective and far more convenient without the overflow bits of charcoal that tend to escape from more primitive filters. The installation took about 15 minutes ad was straightforward. The longest part of preparing however was finding one critical piece. The system ships with a T fixture to join with the under-sink cold water line that did not match our plumbing. Go to a plumbing supply company rather than the corner hardware store for this item if you need it. The flow is great. Having it on the sink means that we can more easily use this for all cooking as well as the quick refreshing drink.

This unit makes some great tasting water.

I''ve used one of these for over ten years and as far as the water goes I have no complaints.

I split it between my sink''s drinking water and the ice maker in the refrigerator.

The only problem is the fittings for the copper tubing crack after years of use.

I keep my unit in the laundry room mounted on a wall in my basement under the kitchen. So one day we noticed they filter was dripping water. (This is better than actually putting it under the sink because it''s easier to change the filters)

I examined the unit and saw two of the fittings had stress cracks and one was leaking.

I replaced both of them with copper fittings (something like $4 for the two fittings).

Now we''re back in business.

We have had many under sink filter systems this is the absolute best. Excellent flow rate easy install. Some difficulty getting the water connection tee properly threaded on the sink side of the water feed, but once that was accomplished all went well.

Plumber installed as part of a kitchen addition, so can''t speak to installation. Also connected the fridge ice maker to the filter, nice. Prices have steadily dropped on this unit, as of this writing you can find these from reliable online venders in the mid-200s. Water here in Minneapolis is good coming out of the filtration plant, it''s just the 100 year old city water mains that I don''t trust.

Flow rate is ok at 0.6 gpm, there are certainly faster units, but this two canister unit is doing much more filtration than lower end units, as verified by Consumer Reports. Some units have what I call a soft water taste, which I detest, not this unit, water really does get as close to that spring water taste as you can get with this sort of filtration. Our dog and cat seem to be drinking longer and more often now that we have switched them to filtered water, nice to see.

I have to confess, we have gone through thousands of 2.5 gallon plastic jugs of water over the past 15 years, and I never felt good about it. We recycled them all, but plastic does not biodegrade very quickly, whether it has a bit of extra life as a plastic park bench (one recycle use) or not, it still eventually ends up in the landfill.

Purchsed this unit from filterfast.com for just under $300 and have had it installed by a plumber. Works beautifully, water tastes better, and the list of things potentially removed from our drinking water is awesome. FAR cheaper than a bunch of plastic water bottles [got BPA?] and the result is simplicity. Change the filters every six months [there''s even an automatic reminder that buzzes you when it needs a change]. Love things that are quality and simple.
