Drinking water from the Aquasana filter system is a real pleasure. There is no odor (which can happen here) and taste issues. I also like the way filters are easy to change.
Pros: Easy to clean, Clean taste, Long lasting filter, Easy to install
This is my 3rd RO under sink RO unit, and I generally think I'll be happy. Water tastes great. Only thing is that the water pressure doesn't feel particularly strong (which I was hoping for).
I have had a hard time convincing my wife to keep our filter as it does NOT look good at all in our kitchen - not like the previous model's sleek and modern design. It does not look either modern or that it is made of high quality material. As a previous customer and a user of your life-time filter program, I am very disappointed with this model...
The installation was pretty straight forward as this was replacing my old RO system that malfunctioned and was wasting a lot of water. The filters may improve the quality, but there is NO improvement in the taste over straight tap water, and we have Los Angeles tap water (not the best tasting in the world.) The old RO system gave us great tasting water but wasted a lot to get that taste. I also installed one of these filter systems in my RV but because the pump doesn't produce a lot of pressure, the flow rate is very low. I just hope the filtration is as good as they claim.
Did not know how bad the city water tasted until we installed this filter. It was so easy to install, and without incident. We actually drink more water now that this is installed. The only comment I could make, is the fact that for the 3/8" line, a plastic collar is included that looks like it should be installed in one direction, but after contacting Aquasana, apparently it does not matter. Would clear things up for the installer, if either it was multi-directional in shape, or at least mentioned in the instructions, that it does not matter how it is installed. No mention whatsoever in video, or written instructions.
Pros: Clean taste, Durable, Easy to clean, Easy to install, Long lasting filter
I like the quality of the water. We had very high chlorine and our water was undrinkable. The change was instant! There needs to be a reworking of the connections to the spout and a larger output stream for drinking/cooking use.
Pros: Clean taste, Easy to install, Long lasting filter
Cons: Slow pour, poor spout to water source connection
