I haven't installed these filters to date. I now have them on hand when the time to use them is eminent The ordering and receipt of the product when as designed..
Our city water is undrinkable so we researched water filters. We purchased an Aquasana 2stage filter. It was easy to install and the filters were easy to attach. The water is now great. Very satisfied. Only problem is the flow is a little slow.
Pros: No odor, Clean taste, Long lasting filter, Nice faucet, Easy to install
Water tastes funny for the first week ( I can't describe it except that it may be carbon?) then it tastes great! I suppose I could have run a ton of water through it and saved it for watering plants or something but that first week is tough. I don't think it was too bad but I measured higher in particulate than my tap water then gets better. Overall I think it's a good enough filter for chlorine and the water tastes better eventually.
Pros: Clean taste, Long lasting filter, Easy to install
Replacement filters come with a replacement battery that powers a chirp that when your filters are ready for replacement again water tastes great as it did before. Shipping and tracking were very poor. 3 weeks to deliver. Notifications never came till just before delivery. Probably a covid thing.
