Aquasana AQ-4500 Complete Under Counter Water Filter System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The kit came with everything I needed to replace the sprayer house sink attachment and add this water filter. It took a couple of hours to clean out under the sink, and complete the install, but it was not difficult. The water is tasteless now, and makes much better ice cubes.

Mavea 1001491 Water Pitcher, Elemaris Kompact with Filter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We are very pleased with this purchase. We've had it for about two months.
You can really taste the difference in the water. No additional appliance to run (Deer Park dispenser was our previous water source).
One note: you have to turn the water faucet off as soon as the little door starts to raise up, otherwise it will overfill the reservior and either leak out around the handle area or "contaminate" your filtered water with water that has not yet been filtered.
I'm really glad that they're a "greener" company that recycles and we feel better about the reduction in energy use both by eliminating the delivery of water & running a hot/cold cooler constantly.

4 Gallon Countertop Water Filter Purifier - Save $$$ - Transform Tap Water to Pure Healthy Mineral Drinking Water - FREE SHIPPING* Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the Zen Water Filtration system about two weeks.I had been using a faucet based Pur filter, which kept leaking as splashing water everywhere.I choose this type of system because of the alkaline aspects of it.Water with Alkaline provides antioxidants, and helps to raise the pH levels, which is good for a lot of health conditions.

The Zen Water system arrived within a few days of ordering it.My order included both the 4 gallon dispenser and countertop models.

I was able to set the countertop model up with about 20 minutes, after reading the cryptic documentation.However, a picture is worth a thousand words, and based on the picture, I was able to set it up.

When I opened the box, I was surprised to discover that both items were in the same box, so I had to sort through the contents very carefully.

Needless to say, it is now sitting on my countertop.It took about 20 minutes before I could see some water coming into the dispensing chamber.When it was about 1 quarter full, I tried tasting the water, and I have to admit, I was not impressed.However, I waited until the chamber was completely full, and it tasted very good.The water has a very smooth taste and I don't taste any powder or residue from going through the filtration process or that I experienced using the Pur water filter.

I tried comparing the water taste with water from several other systems: from my faucet, Brita and Pur water filters. The Zen Water system tasted significantly different.The water from my faucet made me think that I was drinking pure chlorine, the water from the Brita and Pur filter tastes like there was chauky it, but the water from the Zen Water Filtration system had no odor, and was very easy to drink.

I intend on buying a few stainless steel water bottles so that I can replace the Brita filter that I was using at work.

I compared this water filter with the Santevia system, which cost $200.They both use the same filtering methodology.The Santevia does mention that it is BPA free (for those who don't know, that means that the plastic will not bleed into your drinking water, which occurs when using plastic bottles).I have compared the taste of the Santevia with the Zen filter and the tastes are very similar. The overall construction of the parts seems relatively the same.So for me it made more sense to purchase this model.

5 Stage Reverse Osmosis Water Filter System With Storage Tank Removes Fluoride Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This seems to be a great RO system once you figure out how to install it...The instructions that come with it are pretty poor.If you aren't familiar with a modest amount of plumbing, have someone else install it for you.

A few clues to make this go easier for you:

Not all the fittings that come with the system will necessarily work with YOUR current plumbing.

The color coded tubes didn't match the instructions.This doesn't matter EXCEPT FOR ONE: there is one tube with a little restricted fitting inserted.This is for your waste line.IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO GET THE SYSTEM TO OPERATE!This is what creates the back pressure for the system.

Looking from the front,
Your water input to the filter (from your cold water line) goes to the bottom right fitting (into the first big filter, it is labeled "IN" above the fitting.
Just above that is a "T" fitting, the open port goes to your tank.
They send a shutoff valve that goes on top of the tank that the nylon tube goes into.
On the left side of the membrane (lower horizontal cylinder) are 2 fittings, one used already, the other one goes to your drain (use the saddle valve provided).
The last tube goes on the left side of the top cylinder (your final filter) goes to your faucet.

Tips for your waste line:
IF you use an air gap faucet (required in some places, prevents drain backups from going into the RO system), the drain restrictor won't fit on the faucet end so turn the tube around and have the restrictor in the fitting towards the RO membrane.To use an air gap faucet, you will need to do some creative plumbing to get the different size tube from the faucet to your drain.There are 3 ports on the faucet (1 on a normal faucet), 1 for clean water from your final filter, 1 normal sized coming from your membrane, and one larger tube to go to your drain.I got my faucet at my local plumbing supply house.(Home Depot didn't have one).The air gap faucet does "burble" for a while after using the water but I consider it a small price to pay to make sure my system stays clean.

Tips for starting up your system:
When I first connected my system, I connected the water line to the input.I disconnected the tube from the leftmost carbon filter and attached a different tube and ran it into my sink.I turned the water on and flushed the excess carbon out of the filters for 5 minutes.This way all that carbon didn'tget into my tank and RO membrane.I have no evidence, but I believe this will extend the life of my membrane a little.After connecting everything, I turned the system on and nothing came out.It took about 10-20 minutes for the system to build enough pressure to come out of the faucet.I followed the instructions and ran about 10 gallons through the final filter before using the water.

I also added a quick connect "T" in the line going to my faucet AFTER flushing the system of carbon and ran one side to my faucet and the other to my refrigerator so I have clean ice and cold water.I did the flush first so I wouldn't have to flush the carbon through my ice maker for who knows how long.When I replace the final carbon filter, I will disconnect my fridge until after I flush it again.

Also, since you are stripping your water of most or all of the minerals, please get some good quality liquid trace minerals to add back in with every glass you drink.Our bodies are meant to get a significant amount of minerals from our water.

Enjoy!

Culligan HF-360 Whole House Sediment Filter Clear Housing Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)5 stars for a water filter?

Well my current one conked out, and this is the replacement one that fits my existing filters. Best price I could find, no tax, no shipping. Sometimes Amazon really amazes me with the amount of stuff you can find here.

Unbolted my old filter, bolted this one in, and saved myself a fortune in plumbing costs. And the $50 worth of cartridges I have won't go to waste.

Couldn't be more pleased with both the product and Amazon

(More customer reviews)We have been using these filters for 5 years now with our whole house filter.Our well water has a lot of iron in it and these filters do a great job of keeping it out of our inside lines.We do have to change the filter about every 4-5 weeks, depending on how much it rains, but that is just because of the sediment and iron in our well.

Culligan US-600A 3/8-Inch Undersink Drinking Water Filter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Tired of spending your hard earned money on Brita Filter 5-packs? For 5 to 10 more dollars, you can get an under sink unit by Culligan that is easy to install, comes with a 3-month filter in the package (level 1 filter), and is easy to upgrade to more advanced filtration (up to level 4).

Summary:I am thoroughly impressed with this unit.I will update the review as time goes by if it breaks, or anything leaks, but it is well built and looks solid, and delivers water that I would say tastes better than Brita water.

I live in Upstate New York, where the water quality is OK, but there is often a lot of chlorine in the water.My main concern was reducing the chlorine taste, and this unit certainly does deliver.

I am breaking my review down into 5 parts, with each part getting 1 star weighting:0 means poor, 1/2 means OK, and 1 means excellent

Ease of Installation:1 star
I have been known to be a clutz around the house but I was able to do it without having any leaks or having to install any extra fittings.Everything is snug and tight out of the box.The fittings that come with the filter have a plastic inset that you can remove to fit directly on 3/8" OD pipe or feed line.They are not gimpy fittings, despite what you might think of a press together fitting.All of the fittings were snug and secure upon install.Water pressure tends to hold them together even more tightly when the system is pressurized.

Installation tip:(This applies if you have 3/8"OD plastic feed line going to your faucet)Instead of cutting the feed line you already have installed, buy a $3 feed line at a hardware store and cut it in half using tin snips or a sharp knife.Then you can turn the water off, remove the old feed line, and install the new feed line connected to the Culligan. This way, if something goes wrong, you can connect the old feed line back up and be back with running water in only 10 minutes or so.

The entire install takes only 30-45 minutes and if you have the right tools, you may not even need a trip to the hardware store.

Don't forget the silicone (waterproof) grease on the o-rings!

Water Flow: 1 star
I admit I was surprised by the voracity of the water flow.I haven't measured it in GPM, but it is nearly the same rate as when there was no filter installed.

Taste:1 star

Water tastes fresh and clean and there is no aftertaste.

Ease of Use:1 star

Turn on the tap, it works.No waiting for a pitcher to filter or worrying about if you'll have enough water to boil pasta without waiting 10 minutes, etc.

Upgradability:1 star

You can buy a level 4 filter (the D40), which reduces lead and other nasties in the water, for about the same price as you pay for this unit, and it lasts for 6 months.Or, there is the Level 3 filter (the D30), which does almost as much as the D40, lasts for a year, and costs half as much. In terms of cost, it is really hard to beat the value of the D30.

Included Filter: 0.5 stars
If you want a higher degree of filtration you can always buy a level 2, 3, or 4 filter separately.However, the Level 1 filter makes your water taste nice, and for the price of the filter unit, is a nice addition.Some stores advertise units that do not include a filter, but not this particular seller.

The correct filter to buy for this unit is the D10, D20, D30, or the D40.

I am rounding up my 4.5 star review to 5 stars on Amazon, giving an extra 0.5 stars for the good feeling I got after installing the filter (and because you can only do 4 or 5 stars, not 4.5)!
