As another reviewer noted it is a bit of a struggle to change the cartridge but that has a lot to do with where the unit is mounted. I have two of these units, one was already installed in a house I bought and I had the other installed in a condo. The one in the house is at the back of the cabinet under the sink and it is a bear to change. The other I had put up front and it''s not bad at all. For one thing you must follow the instructions to the letter when changing the cartridge. If you do, it won''t be hard and it won''t leak. There is a little stick-on alarm device that tells you when to change the cartridge. Throw that away, it''s purpose is to sell more cartridges. The cartridge needs replacing when the flow gets slow. Mine last a year or more (2 people). Also, ask you plumber which system he or she recommends. Mine thinks highly of Everpure.

Explore alternatives before buying this system. Although the cartridge lasts longer than others, it is very difficult for a person to replace, especially a woman or older man. The company makes it sound so easy, just insert and turn 1/4. You don''t know you have it in right until you turn it on and then after 30 seconds of water running, it falls off and water is all over the cabinet. It''s inexpensive compared to a whole house system, but I wish I had a whole house system instead of fighting with the cartridge when I need to replace it. Once in place, the filter does do an excellent job of removing bad water taste. If you''re a handyman and able to maneuver under sinks, this will serve you fine. I am very frustrated at how hard this filter is to insert exactly right. It''s not easy doing it by yourself and your neck and arms will ache from trying to get it in.

First off, I may be a bit biased because we owned a 5 stage reverse osmo system prior to this. But I purchased this for its easy and simplicity. But when I installed it I was really disappointed with the water quality. The taste was really bad. Over time the taste has gotten more tolerable, but as soon as this filter slows down, and needs to be replaced? I''m going back to the Premier reverse 5 stage system sold from Costco. I would not recommend this to anyone who care how there water tastes.

Sorry I really don''t like making bad reviews. But this thing isn''t a good filtration system.

This filter is really bad. I''m finally having to change it out and trash the entire system. For people who have this system try and fill a dish of water and let it sit over night. Ours would develop a chemical film on the surface. We wash and cook rice with the filtered water. Lately the rice we cook with the filtered water developed a really bad rotting odor, after a few hours. My wife was thinking it was the rice cooker? But I suggested that she try and cook some using the bottled water. (She did) the rice was absolutely perfect.

I don''t know what this filter is filtering but it appears to be making the water quality worse.

This unit was a complete waste of money! Didn''t even last a year! Terrible filter!

I''m off to CostCo to purchase the new Watts Premier 4RO system.

Since bottled drinking water 1) costs about 10.00 a gallon if you factor in the environmental costs.and 2) is mostly manufactured by soft drink companies???? I took the plunge and had this unit installed. I did read reviews and made sure the unit was put toward the front of my kitchen cabinet for easy replacement changes. But I am a woman and have had no issues with it at all. Great tasting water...at a low environmental impact.

The unit works fine but it a devil to install if you don''t like squatting or bending over and sitting in an awkward position while attempting to install the cartridge. I didn''t pull the lever down completely to turn the water off for installation and I had water gushing all over my kitchen. If you do it properly, it is over in a jiffy. I have a water softener system which causes the Everpure to be used up much more quickly, so that is a problem too. I''m replacing this cartridge after just four months of use with two people.
