    Easy to install and as good as any RO System I have seen. TDS testing proves it. The price was excellent and self installation saved me a couple of hundred bucks. Thanks Home Depot!

    Make sure you measure for the tank for 1. I had just enough room. It was easy to install though. I think the filter life is decent as well.I would recommend this product. We've had it for about a month now.The wife and I love it.

    I’ve been using this filter for a few months now, and I absolutely love it. Install was easy. It took about 30 minutes. All the lines were color coded so there’s little chance of messing it up. My only gripe is it did not come with mounting screws for the filter head. Other than that, it was a flawless install. No leaks, no issues. It took about 3 complete fills/drains of the reservoir to clear out the carbon (Black/gray water). After that, about another 3 or 4 for the water to be completely clear (no little white suspended specs of... whatever it was. Minerals?). My water is crystal clear, and tastes great. I drink about 1.5gal per day (+ what the wife drinks) so we get plenty of use out of it. After a few months, it’s already paid for itself. Next on the list is plumb an alternate drain line (with a switch valve) to use the waste to water the lawn, and an alt dispense line to go to the fridge to get purified ice and cold water. I love this thing. It would have been perfect if the faucet came in brushed chrome to match, but not a deal breaker.

    Delivered on time and not hard to install. Stage 1 leaked when I tested it after installation, I guess it’s because of the 1st stage takes a lot of pressure and the thread is not very good, but easy to fix, now no leaking. Filtered water quality feels good (I haven’t used a test kit to test it yet), water pressure is good. Overall, I’m satisfied with this filtration system.

    Easy to install. Works great! I am extremely pleased with this product. The one tip I would provide for anyone installing this product is to take your time & push each tube in all the way. I think this is the issue with others that had leak issues.

          I am very pleased with the system after having used it for three weeks. The water tastes great. I don't have that white dust on everything anymore from my humidifier which I run all the time when I am in the house. I enlisted the help of a plumber to drill the hole through my sink for the faucet but otherwise did the installation myself. I had one leak where I did not insert the tube far enough and another where I didn't tighten down the drain saddle far enough. I only encountered one real difficulty related to removing three of the shipping plugs that are pre-installed in the water filter inlets/outlets. It took two people, one to compress the collar and one to remove the plug. There is no way to remove the tubes or plugs if the collar is not pushed in while pulling out on the plug/tubing...tricky to do with one person and fumble fingers. I have the three gallon system and live alone, and it supplies all the water I need. Filter replacement will be easy to do. I definitely recommend this system.

          Easy, very effective
          Hookup was very easy. I was replacing an existing unit, so I just hooked up the old hookups. I like it better than the older model. No leaks. The small push in connectors are prone to small leaks, but perhaps these are better connectors and no leaks at all. Tested the water after flushing the system 5 times. Well water Faucet 424 ppm (pretty high) Bottled water 127 ppm RO water after flushing system 24 ppm It does what it is supposed to do. Almost distilled water after processing. I don't believe that a high ppm is necessarily bad, depending on what is in the water. If you want to add back minerals, they have filter units you can add after the finishing carbon filter that will add back what you want.

            You have to be careful with the cheap hose connections. I had one that I had to cut the end because it was leaking. hopefully when its time to change the filters the hoses don't leak from the movement. other then that it was easy to install.
