This is a lower quality import. The unit works, but when you install it, you need to have some knowledge of plumbing. The unit does not include Plumber''s Grease of the 4 cartridges ''O-rings''. double check all factory installed tubing connections; most are not secure and will leak, so before charging unit make certain you remove the c-clamp and push/pull on all connects (remember to replace the c-clamps). The instruction booklet (ha ha ha) poorly translated into English, is written for all five models without identifying the differences (some models are standard and some use have electronics components), and absolutely no directions to direct you as to which tube is connected to which spot. The only indicator for correct hookup is the tubes are colored and you need to match that color to a ''colored plug'' on the unit, then look at the booklet to find the tiny diagram that labels the colors so you know that red is waste line, whit is supply line, blue to dispenser, and yellow to tank. The included dispensing faucet does installation parts are designed for a sink with a 1/2" hole, So if you are replacing an existing unit (or have a standard 2" hole in your sink) then note that this unit does not have any method for securing the faucet, you''ll need to rig some type of bracket or use a couple of huge machine washers on the underside to mount the thing. Speaking of dispensing faucet; extremely cheap, wobbly, very poorly made, but it does work. I suggest spending the extra $15 at hardware store to buy a better faucet.
Overall, I''d say to think twice before buying. If you are knowledgeable and able to make things work, go ahead with this brand to save $100 over a high quality RO from a local hardware store (by the way, avoid the whirlpool units at Lowes. I am both a Lowes and a Whirlpool fan, but their RO is garbage. I guarantee you will have issues with the regulating diaphragm within 1-3 years, and that''s the end of the entire unit''s usefulness).
