First I will say the connecting the filter was a snap and didn't require any tool. After letting it run, as directed in the instructions, the very first glass of water was what I expected, clear clean taste. I was pleasantly surprised, that due to its size, it fit even better in the space I have and that the tubes are long enough to give me options as to location.
Pros: No odor, Clean taste, Long lasting filter, Good Water Flow, Nice faucet, Easy to install
returned this item without using it, as I was disappointed to discover that it was only for use with cold water--mean that we'd constantly have to switch it on and off, which I know we would forget to do.
