I like the filter, the water quality, and ease of access. I''m not thrilled about the faucet, and actually used a different one (Watts) for my installation. It''s also not clear how the "change filter" light works no comment in the manual. The light is located in the faucet, and cannot sense the actual filter so the only way it could detect a change is either by water volume or time. Also, there''s no information on how to reset it when the filter is changed. So all in all the little light was of no/negative use for me. The filter is good for 500 gals, and in my RV 500 gallons of water drunk is a LONG time to go. Another comment about the faucet it does not have a "momentary" feature where you can push/release; you actually have to turn it on and turn it off. In an RV, I like the momentary function, one less way to accidentally leave a faucet dripping.

Installation comment: there is a third small center screw hole in addition to the two keyhole screw holes; this screw will keep the filter housing from being accidentally pushed up out of its mounting screws when trying to re-mate a filter, so I highly recommend using it.

Lastly: this filter flows SLOWLY. At first, I thought it was going to be unusable, took about a minute to fill an 8oz glass. After the initial flushing time (10-20 minutes), the flow picked up to around 15 seconds to fill the same glass. This equates to around 1/4 gallon per minute, about half of what is specified. To be fair, this is in an RV with only 45psi of pressure, not the typical 60psi or more of a house installation. YMMV.

Bottom line I like the product, the dual-filtration in one small unit goes very well in my small RV, and the flow is okay if not exciting. It would be 5 stars if the faucet had a momentary, and instructions for the LED reset with a filter change.

UPDATE 2012:

I thought I could tolerate the low flow, but after a year of waiting minutes to half-fill a coffee pot, I got really sick of it. I upped my RV water pressure to 55psi, nearly house level, and still not much flow. Finally, I threw it out and replaced it with an inline unit. Lots of flow, 5 seconds to fill the pot. Not as convenient to change but with RV use, change is infrequent.

So on balance, I can''t recommend this unit for anything except maybe an ice-maker. It''s just too slow.

This was an easy 30 minute install under the sink of a travel trailer. The instructions were clear and all the parts were of good quality. Eveything worked the first time.
