Paragon 5-Stage Countertop Water Filter System

The Bad:

The Faucet Adaptor 15/16 27 Male Thread sent with the unit was plastic or teflon, in which I personally do not see how this would work with anyone''s kitchen sink aerator because the threads are too soft and WILL STRIP.

Solution: I would go out to Lowes/Ace Hardware/Home depot and buy the brass version. If you can, buy one with at least 5 threads showing each end. I did get the one that looks like it has 2-3 threads, but it was tricky to get it installed soundly with no leaks. I screwed the brass part into my diverter part first, then spun it on the sink to get it to seal properly.

The Good:

* The Filter water flow is awsome.

* The spout appeared to be cheaply made, but don''t worry, it swivels fine and does not leak at all.

* The water quality for my first week is great.

* The Price per gallon will be less than 1 cent if it lasts even 1 year with me.

Conclusion:

I used to use an "NSA" filter in the 1990''s in California, it sold for $60.00, so the price of this unit considering inflation is well priced. I think the other brands that require replacement after so many gallons, or 1-2 months are a SHAM. You will not find a great product like this because your local business only keep items on the shelf that force you to return for the replacement filters often.

Examples:

ZeroWater (12-14 Gallons then it is bad!!! Most expensive gravity filter, and very slow!!!)

Britta Lasts 1-3 months, Good portable solution, but very slow and expensive to keep buying filters.

The filter is good and appears to be high quality. I gave it four stars because my facet required the use of the adapter I received with the filter. The adapter was cheap and did not fit correctly. I did get another one from the local hardware store. I cannot believe that the company would risk its reputation to save a few pennies on an inferior adapter.

I visited relatives in Waco, Tx during early 2005. Their city water had a terrible taste and odor. Shortly thereafter I saw a product demonstration on TV for this Paragon water filter and immediately thought of my relatives in Waco. I ordered the filter for them as a gift. Saying that they were pleased would be a wild understatement. Several of their friends were also impressed with the filter and ordered one for themselves. Time passed and I relocated to the Dallas area. The Dallas city water was also less than desireable and I ordered a filter for myself. That was over six years ago. My filter has worked flawlessly during this period. It is nearing the point of needing to be replaced and I was very pleased to see that Model 3050 is still available.

This is definitely a five star product in anyone''s book.

We absolutly love this filter. We purchased one from sears over 6 years ago and finally had to replace it this year. It is the easiest and best filter I have ever used. Where we live the water is very hard and since we are on a well (no city water for us) it can have some sediment in it. This is the best filter ever. We have tried other filters and styles. From pitcher to faucet mount and none are as good as this 5 stage filter. Now it may be ugly, but we have it in our mud room. We fill up a 5 gallon square water holder,that we found at wal-mart, and keep it in our fridge. This keeps the water cold and easy to access any time. We have puchased some refillable water bottles and keep them in our drinks fridge and keep a few on hand for when we travel or work in the garden. I was so afraid that when our old one finally gave up, that we would have to settle for one of the "replace the filter" weekly, monthy, what ever, kind and finding this squat little gem again was wonderful. We are now going to buy more to give to our friends and family that are still wasting money on "bottled" water. Nobody can believe that such good tasting water can be so easy and inexpensive. The diverter has NEVER failed in 6+ years that we had our old one and the new one has the exact same type of diverter. No little "pull button" that quits after a short time, this has a true + type diverter. A handle that you turn sideways to make a + sign to divert the water and then turn back to 1 to let the tap water run. It is large enough that anybody can use it. Even with our hard water it has never frozen or broke. The spigot at the top is tall enough that you can place almost any size continer under it to fill. We keep it at the edge of the sink so you can fill as tall or deep a container as you need. Try it and you will love the ease and convience of setting it on the counter and forgetting about it for the next 5 years. No maintence is necessary. No changing filters, no calling for refills. What you see is what you get. It may not be beautiful, but it works beautifully.
