I had big Pentax filters but a contractor lost the parts and replaced my system w/ G.E. Smart Water. Those lasted no more than 48 hours! Aquasana's last about 6 mos. in So. Cal. Big savings.
Pros: Clean taste, Easy to install, Long lasting filter
Best filter system out there. Have been using for 12 plus yrs. Whenever guests come over and drink from the Aquasauna they notice a difference immediately...even kids. My neighbor kids love my water! I fill up my own water bottles so I can take to wrk or out to play. Rarely do i drink from any other source.
Pros: Clean taste, Durable, Easy to install, Long lasting filter
Although we live in a part of the country where the water quality is good, we will never be without this filtering system. We use the filtered kitchen water for our drinking water, coffee, tea, cooking and for drinking water for all our dogs and cats. We use tap water only for doing dishes. The filters last 6 mos for our family of 3 humans, 9 cats and 4 dogs. (We have the shower filter system too). We believe this filter system is not only economical, but essential for our well being. We cannot control what is in our city water, but we can control what goes into our bodies with these filters.
Pros: Easy to install, Guests comment on how good our water tastes, Long lasting filter, System beeps when filters need changing
We bought our house with an Aquasana Filter already installed in the kitchen sink, and at first we weren't sure if we wanted to keep buying filters for it. But, I'm glad we gave it a shot! The water from the tap is perfectly safe to drink, but I just don't like the taste of it and was wasting a lot of plastic buying bottled water instead. These filters make the water taste much better, and I'm sure I'm more hydrated as a result! The only con I have against them is how hard they are to install - to form a tight pressure for pumping the water, I guess, a semi-vacuum is created inside the chamber that really pulls everything very tightly together. It's so hard to twist open and put the new filter in! I definitely can't do it alone and need someone to come help me twice a year to install.
