We have a well so our water already tastes quite good, but we use the Aqauasana filter system to ensure we keep any potentially harmful bacteria out of our drining water. We are pleased with the build and performance of the system and the filter cartridges are simple to replace. The only real downside to this filter is the slow water output, but we are willing to wait a few extra seconds because we trust the quality of the filtration and the cost per gallon is a good value.
Pros: Clean taste, Durable, Easy to clean, Easy to install, Long lasting filter
We use the filter in our RV FOR 5-6 months in south Florida, it greatly improves the water quality and taste ove standard RV filters that we have used!

Changing filters really makes a big difference in the "drinkability" and "Spring water taste" of our Fairfield,Iowa tapwater. Although our filters are scheduled to be changed every 6 months, 4 months is more realistic, IF you want that "alive, spring water taste". The AQ-5200 cartridges are not hard to disassemble and change, it takes just a little finesse and a strong grip to separate the housing. A Great Product!
The 2 filters work well for about 2 months, then the water slows to a trickle. This is unacceptable, especially when you consider there are only the 2 of us. We thought the filters would last about 6 months before the water slowed to a trickle, but not the case. It got so bad, my wife insisted we buy a Brita water pitcher, which works well, but may not be the same purification. All in all the Brita is what we use now, because we just can't deal with having to replace filters every couple of months, which also is way to expensive. I am so sorry we changed to the AQ 5200R, since the other type worked well, and lasted for about 6 months. We just can't afford to continue using your filters.
There is little water in central Texas and it is full of salt and added chemicals, so I filter the water through a dual filter and use shower filters to keep my hear clean and shiny!
