Researched and Aquasana under-sink filter was exactly what we wanted. The water tastes great and I think the water flow is fine for a small spout. It sure is faster than refrigerator filtered water dispenser! The only negative is that we can not get it installed tight enough to hold it in place. We keep having to go under the sink and retighten it. Not sure if the problem is our sink or the spout fixture. It also seems a bit flimsy. Our son will drink from the spout (NOT supposed to) and sometimes he leans on the spout. I'm very afraid he is going to break it because it just doesn't feel solid/steardy enough.
Best tasting water and ice since I have lived here. Our water system isn't clean, but our drinking water and ice is now! I suggest putting it in line with your refrigerator too.
It easily fit under my kitchen sink, installation was not difficult, and the water tastes noticeably better with no chemical residue. The contaminants that worried me the most have been eliminated and I feel healthier and more in control of my living environment. This was an excellent decision and I am very happy with the product and would certainly recommend it to others.
Pros: Any chemical taste(s), Clean taste, Durable, Easy to clean, Easy to install, Long lasting filter
The water from our AQ-5300 system tastes fantastic! This is in comparison to an artesian spring that is only 10 miles from our house that has provided us with delicious tasting water for over 20 years! The artesian spring was and still is great, but the heavy mineral content combined with the effort in retrieving the water just became too much for me. This Aquasana system actually delivers superior water over the artesian spring by having equally fantastic taste while virtually eliminating the mineral content.
Pros: Clean taste, Durable, Easy to clean, Long lasting filter
