I have issues with water. Everyone that knows me knows this fact. Unless I am dying I will not drink tap water. The taste is absolutely gross. before going to the Aquasana, I had a Pur faucet filter that I used to fill up my Brita Ultramax dispenser. 2 filters, yeah I have an issue, mostly it has to do with taste. I don't like to have taste in my water and I consume over a gallon a day. (Plus Single Malt Scotch every now and then) The Aquasana filter has done away with the need for that. My water has no flavor, I was telling my wife that it tastes like wet air, if that makes any sense. Easy to install, up and running in no time! Best investment I have made. Oh well there is also the Aquasana shower filters that we swear by. My only suggestion would be a better way to know when the filter is giving out. I swap them every 6 months or so, but should I be doing it sooner or later, hard to tell.
This filter is great. I live in a major city and I was shocked to find out the large amount of arsenic and other cancer causing agents in the water "in small allowable amounts". I haven't tested it chemically but I got this due to a high consumer reports rating and per a local friends great review. The taste is night and day. It is a bit bigger than I thought it would be but after I while I don't even notice it. I could also see people getting annoyed with the hose, but again after a while I didn't even notice it. Easy to install. Stop filling that Brita pitcher people, cause it's not really removing any chemicals!
This was easy to install, but had some difficulty tightening the filters to prevent leaking at the base. Water tastes great! We use it for our drinking water everyday and love how simple and easy it is!
When the water here developed an unpleasant odor and started tasting yucky, we became seriously concerned about lead (and other unwanted chemicals) in the water because the pipes here are older. We ordered the Aquasana, my husband installed it, and the water now tastes great. We have black appliances in our kitchen so the black filter fit with our decor. It's sleek and modern looking and we've had no problems with leaking or insufficient capacity.
The Aquasana countertop water filter installed in an instant with no special tools and I now no longer have to buy bottled water and pollute our environment with plastic bottles. It is small enough to fade into the background and not get in the way and delivers great tasting water
