User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Great Filter
I received this filter a little over a week ago and all I can say is wow. I have been using filters for many years now where ever I live. People use to say oh my well water is great. I say no. I can speak from personal experience.
Going back 35 years ago I grew up as a teenager in a home in which we had a well. For many years I was constantly sick to my stomach with abdominal pains and my mother brought me to an internist for a checkup, well to make a long story short, my parents had traced the problem to our water source. A business down the street had been dumping tricholethelene down the drain for years and it leached into 3 homes wells. The DEP came in and had to clean up the mess, and we all got a reverse osmosis water system that at the time cost my folks thousands. But the problem had been identified.
Second story, my husband worked with a fellow who told me that 3 families living in a row, each of the wives developed a particular kind of cancer, traced to the water which had uranium.
I feel in this day and age you just can’t be safe drinking any kind of water. You just don’t know what is down there in the ground that will over time leach into the well and cause severe health problems. People throw things down the drain that should not be put down there, basically contaminating the water and when you drink that you wonder why you are sick.
Do yourself a favor and get a filter. I do like this one in particular by [...], it has an excellent water flow and the cartridge they have in it is the PB1 which seems to do an excellent job at clarifing the water. I like this in particular because it is solid carbon block. Many of the other filters on the market are GAC, which is Granular Activated Carbon. The problem there is that there is channeling and bypass. With sold carbon it is able to absorb many of the impurities and color in the water. Those GAC filters are good for municipal water, not well water. We in particular have tannins in our water. My landlord has a $7000 water filter system in place, however, we still get the brownish water. But NOT with this filter. Nothing but crystal clear water.
I use it for cooking, drinking, coffee, ice cubes, brushing our teeth, etc. You won’t go wrong with this unit. I hope this is helpful to those of you searching for a water filter. Take a step in the right direction by drinking good, clear water.
5 Stars Perfect solution for our household
We’ve had this filter system for a couple weeks now and we love it! It was easy to install, works wonderfully, and the water is fantastic. We were using a filtering pitcher before and not only was it a pain because we use filtered water for anything involving food or drink (refill, refill, refill…), the pitcher water would start tasting “off” after an hour or less in my glass. With the new system, I can drink water that has been sitting beside the bed all night. I love how long the filter will last and how inexpensive it will be to replace it once a year. I’ve already heartily recommended this system to two friends and would gladly suggest it to anyone else.
5 Stars Great filter, easy to install
Product is simple to install, only takes a couple of minutes. Water comes out clean with no odor and a great taste.
Pros:
-Unit can be used with many 10 inch water filters, not just one particular brand.
-Simple to use.
-No leakage between filter attachment and faucet.
Cons:
-Water comes out of the spout for a couple seconds after faucet is turned off.
-No indicator for filter replacement.
So far, I am happy with my purchase.
5 Stars Blew my aquasana away
I bought the aquasauna product which cost like double this or something. It was horrible, it lasted maybe 1 year and can have mold build up underneath the product (it leaks and even if you are very clean it can happen), I don’t doubt that the quality of the water was excellent for aquasauna but the product build was POOR. Mine even broke and aquasauna wasn’t helpful at all in remedying the situation.
So I order this one, I remember it being much less that the 120$ or so i spent on the aquasauna. I had low expectations but wanted my water to be filtered at home.
Then I got this thing, it is built very well. It is strong and sturdy. They also sent all the attachments for you sink (which again, aquasauna didn’t do, I had to go to home depot multiple times to try to find the proper fit). The water comes out super fast and tastes amazing. I am super impressed with this and its quality.
As for the quality of the water, I bet it is the same as the other one. I can’t know for sure but it tastes just as good. Also I believe you can buy replacement filters for this anywhere instead of being overcharged by a company who owns a monopoly on the replacement filters.
This is a great filter set, I wish I would of bought this originally!
5 Stars Great Filter
After looking around and comparing all types of faucet filters, I decided on this based on many of the other reviews. I liked that it had a standard replaceable filter and good solid construction. I wasn’t let down by this product. The only problem is it came with a 55/64″-27 female threading to attach to the sink, and I had to get an adapter to fit my sink. But once I determined which size I needed and set it up, it worked great. No leaks, and clear great tasting water comes through. The filter lasts much longer than other systems, so I won’t need to replace it as often. The included instructions weren’t entirely clear – it comes with a plastic handle thing, and I realized after setting it up that it is used for unscrewing/tightening the filter holder part… but it can be hand-tightened without leaking. In all, a much better deal than faucet-mount filters and other counter top filters!
