"Basic DIY skills to install, unless you have a problem. Not able to comment on performance, water quality or quality of item as regrettably ours leaks when powered up. Called customer service 3 days ago, still waiting for a call back. Have emailed customer 3 times and got the same robo response email, with the same robo checklist, which hasn’t resolved the fault. My experience so far certainly does not agree with the positive customer service comments, so far very disappointed. Contacting customer service which seems their preferred method, as they haven’t replied to a phone call, is a tedious process with a minimum 24-36 hr turnaround time, mostly repeating the same checks over and over.‘Update’Latest reply from rep at customer service now suggests I work on and fix the leak myself. Customer service also recommended using a professional plumber, however their product page states” easy install, just drill two holes and connect to power""

After reading a plethora of reviews, I was fairly optimistic. I had moved from years of home-delivered bottled water, to filtering at-home using a large countertop Britta - which was better than the Waterdrop version I had previously used. But I was still displeased because it was plastic. My well water has an unpleasant metallic taste. The water this produces is the best tasting, odorless water I have ever had.Because I didn't have easy access to a power outlet, I had my home contractor install it - for a pittance. He had to cut a small hole in my countertop (which he filled with clear epoxy) to route the cable through the cupboard. Once this was completed, it took just minutes for him to install it. He was able shut-off the water under the sink, not the whole house. The cold water adapter fit perfectly, with no leaks. My contractor said he'd added one to his Amazon wishlist!The unit is amazing! Quiet, great water pressure, and a fast flow. I have instant fresh, great tasting, odorless water. I could not be more pleased! I should have done this years ago. I live alone with 3 cats, and we go through about 5 gallons a week, spending well over $600 a year and having to store four 5-gallon bottles that required a lot of real estate in my small home. Having replaced most plastic storage in my home, this is the pièce de résistance!I highly recommend this to anyone who has water issues or plastic concerns. Well worth the very reasonable price.john
Simple and affordable R/O system...plus very compact.

This is a great system. Water tastes great, and I am confident that it is filtering out most of the contaminants and other bad stuff. The replacement filters are not exorbitantly priced. My one complaint would be that the filters are large and need to be replaced pretty frequently.What Customers Talk About
