I replaced the soap dispenser in my granite countertops with my new Aquasana 3 stage water filter to get great tasting and healthy water without all the chemicals. In my research I found that Aquasana filters out the most - 66 chemicals that can be harmful to your health. The three stage unit is very easy to install and the water spout is a very nice design. The water pressure is much better than I expected. I just LOVE my new Aquasana filter system. The water tastes fabulous and it's so healthy for me!
Pros: Clean taste, Durable, Easy to install, Long lasting filter

I had given up on a Aquasana countertop/under counter filter assembly because the filters "o"rings would leak all the time. I had to keep a pan under the assembly to protect my cabinets. I then read that they came out with a new 3-stage under counter water filter (AQ-5300 three stage filter system). I ordered it and quickly saw it was a better quality and was worthy of the MADE IN THE USA branding. The housing and "O"rings are well made. Most importantly they DON'T LEAK!!!! Aquasana your on track now!!! You had almost lost a customer for life! Never take the cheep way out it will always bite you in the end. Give the engineers a well deserved pat on the back. The water quality is great! After six months I couldn't believe how much sediment the filters removed from the water I was drinking. YOU NOW TRUELY HAVE A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE! Keep up the good work.
Pros: Clean taste, Durable, Easy to clean, Easy to install, Long lasting filter

Installing this product is easy if you only use the parts they give you, but I wanted a needle valve inline to the filter after the cold water supply line. That way if the filter should develop a leak down the line and I needed to shut off the water flow, I could use the needle valve instead of shutting off the supply line,(which would shut off water to the kitchen faucet as well). That way if a problem occurred with the filter I would not be forced to fix it on the spot, but could get around to it when able. Needle valves have connectors that are a different size than the lines used for the filter, then I also have different sized supply lines b/c this house was built in the 50s. All to say I had to spend a good long time at the hardware store getting adapters and lines to do what I needed. None of it expensive, just time consuming, but not Aquasana's fault, as no water filter comes with a needle valve, and most new houses have the size lines supplied with the system. I also had to drill the enamel cast iron sink as I like a sprayer alongside my faucet, and have a dishwasher which needs a vent in CA to meet code. So there were no available holes for the faucet. I purchased a diamond hole saw bit and watched a couple online videos and just went slow, and it came out perfect. So once I did all the extra stuff needed for my particular install, the Aquasana went in easy, easy, easy! And worked perfectly! No drips, no gurgles, no leaky faucet. You turn it on, the water comes out fine. Turn it off, and it instantly stops, no dripping. Some people complain the water flow is slow. I am guessing they have never used a filter that is rated for NSF 42 **AND** 53. NSF 42 just removes chlorine and a few other things that affect taste, so a filter only rated for NSF 42 has a faster flow b/c the water is traveling through a less-dense filter medium. Basically just carbon. But the NSF 53 rating means the Aquasana is also filtering out all kinds of other contaminants that don't affect taste, but HEALTH. And that means using denser materials that will slow flow some. No filter rated for NSF 42 AND 53 will have a fast flow rate unless it's a large unit (e.g. floor standing) with a lot larger supply line feeding it. But to compare the Aqusana 5300 to other NSF 42/53 filters, I have one built into the fridge that is the same rating and has the same size supply line, and the Aquasana is 20% faster at least. So to me, it runs fast for the kind of filter it is. Of course as the canisters become clogged with minerals and deposits over time, that will slow the flow until new canisters are put in place. While we have a fridge filter we wanted a kitchen sink filter for putting filtered water in a pot for cooking (and drinking). And we couldn't be happier with the Aquasana 5300. We were using a PUR faucet filter on the end of the faucet and those things cause back-pressure that wear your faucet gaskets down sooner than they would normally wear... plus it was bulky and in the way, and easy to destroy by accidentally running hot water through it. We could not be happier we switched to the Aquasana!
Pros: Compact, Completely Quiet, Easy Install, Great Faucet, Great price, Great taste, Nice Flow For High Nsf, Nsf Rated 42 53
Cons: No Needle Valve
