Under Sink Water Filter, NSF/ANSI 42/372 Certified, Reduce Chlorine, PFAS, PFOA/PFOS, Bad Taste, Water Filtration System with Stainless Faucet, 12 Months, USA Tech, UWF1A-KPC, Do Not Reduce TDS

Very easy to install. Love my tap in my coffee bar for filling up the reservoir on my coffee maker.

This is a decent under sink filter. I am a water filter nut…just saying.I installed this filter kit in our coffee bar area with the intent to fill up our coffee machines with it. The kit is complete, including the faucet and all hardware to install it. There is even a small roll of Teflon tape. Installation was straightforward, and the instructions are well laid out in perfect English, which is awesome. There are no leaks. I am unsure how well it is filtering, but the water taste from the filter versus the unfiltered faucet is noticeably better. It isn’t quite as good as my Culligan RC-EZ-4 filter in our kitchen, but that removes VOC’s, lead, mercury, turbidity, cysts, etc and is only good for 500 gallons. The flow rate on that filter is about .5 gallon/min. I tested this filter and its flow rate is 1 GPM at initial installation.Due to the fast flow rate, I suspect this is a basic sediment/carbon filter which removes larger particles and absorbs chlorine and off tastes. Nothing more. This filter does not reduce TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) and it states this right in the manual. This means it will not reduce dissolved metals, salts, ions, fluoride, iron, etc. For this, you would need a true Reverse Osmosis system. This is a basic filter. Its flow rate is similar to that of the Culligan RC-EZ-1 basic filter cartridge kit.Because of this, the Culligan kit (RC-EZ-1) at about $53 (when not on sale) is a bit cheaper, and the faucet is much better quality than the faucet that comes with this kit.So, for $60, I think this kit is a bit overpriced. I subtracted one star due to this and the faucet quality.I would expect to pay around $40-$45 for a kit like this because everything works without leaking, the instructions were clear, and all parts were included for installation.

I installed our first undersink water filter system about 10 years ago, and I like them so much that I've added one every every place we live. We just moved into house number three, and one of my first projects was getting one set up. I've got zero brand loyalty about these things, so I settled on this guy. It seemed like it was decent quality and a complete all-in-one solution - and it was really cheap compared to most other options. (Similar systems at the local hardware store were twice the price.)It took me a while to get it installed because it turns out the plumbing setup in our kitchen is a little nonstandard: the shutoff valve is already sized for a 3/8-inch compression, and the valve they include in this kit (correctly) assumes you've got 1/2-inch. Fortunately, they include a set of adapters that worked *perfectly* for my setup - or rather, they would have if there would have been enough room under my sink. For some reason the previous owners installed things at a funky angle, and there was no way I could get everything in without adding a 90-degree elbow and a union fitting. Two trips to the hardware store later, I finally got everything in.None of this was the fault of the product, of course, and once I got my elbow joint in the rest of the installation was a piece of cake. Everything went together fast and zero leaks after I turned the water back on. The included faucet is very basic, but stylish and designed to fit in with just about any decor. The filter itself performs exactly like I expected: great tasting water without the minerals. Good for hydrating (I drink a LOT of ice water during the day), and even better for filling up my coffee pot and hot water kettle and not having to worry about scale buildup.The main thing I'm worried about is replacement filter cost. This is a fairly new brand, and I haven't managed to even find the product yet, let alone the cost. But this filter is supposed to last about a year, so the manufacturer has some time to figure it out. I'm fairly optimistic, though: filters for my last system ran about $60 a pop, and this whole system is priced less than that.

Let me start this review by saying I live in the country in the middle of nowhere normally. For the last year I have been living with my girlfriend wife to be. She lives in the city. Though she doesn't notice it and claims she can't even taste a difference between my water and hers, her water is completely Undrinkable to me. Water is my main drink of choice. When I saw this filter to be honest, I wasn't expecting much. One of the main reasons I got it is because the little spigot exactly matches my kitchen sink faucet and I thought that was pretty neat. I thought if it helped a little bit even better but it would fill up the empty hole where the old sprayer used to go.Let me tell you, After it was hooked up I let it run for a few minutes to flush it out . Then I filled up a glass for the test. OMG. Wow. I can actually drink this water with a little ice and not notice the city water taste, I truly cannot believe it. Now with that being said I've only had it going for about two weeks and it still works perfectly. The one thing I'm not sure about is the packaging says the filter cartridge will last for a year. I have never seen a filter that can completely take the taste out of city water and be able to last that long. I'm not going to take you off any stars because I don't know if it will or not. I know it is already surprised me on how well it works so I will have to update if it doesn't last. It's extremely easy to install. You just unhook the cold water supply line going to your faucet and put their adapter on the supply line and hook it back up. Mount the filter. Mount the little spigot. And then there are push connectors to connect the hose to everything. I can't be happier with this product. I will definitely update with the amount of time the filter cartridge lasts

Too complicated to set up. Why can't it just have a standard fitting? I hate this thing.
