In an area with 25+ gpg there's a lot of contaminates that need to be removed and there are a lot of minerals that need to remain in your drinking water. RO leaves zero nutrients so with my intense internet research I discovered Aquasana. Installed for about a month now and love it for COFFEE!!, steaming nad washing veggies and fruit and our animals get it too! it was easy to install except for the granite drilling part, but that's nothing to do with the water!
I drink at least one gallon of water a day because it assists keeping me healthy and gives energy so I can work and play longer. I wanted just water not things added (although needed to kill germs). The taste of our water is better and I don't drink things I don't want in my body.
The 3 stage filtration unit was very easy to install and came with clear and concise instructions. The only item I had to purchase was a 1/4 to 3/8 press fitting adapter as I already had a faucet mounted and it was 3/8 and the outlet tubing of the filtration unit is 1/4. However, 1/4 is a better outlet size as it reduces the flow rate to what I believe is the correct rate of water flow. The water taste is excellent. You need to be prepared to run the water for few minutes after installing filters to flush them out. I purchased my unit with the lifetime filter replacement program, however, being a single man I am not sure if I will use enough to justify replacing the filters every 6 months. Luckily you are not tied to a contract with the filter replacement program and can stop it at any time and buy then yourself whenever you may need them. In a couple years when I do some re-configuring of my incoming water routing and replace the standard water heater with an instant one, it will free up room in the bottom of the "closet" where the water heater is and I will be purchasing a whole house filtration system from Aquasana. In my search of water filtration units, I could not find any better value in the product I purchased and have fully enjoyed it thus far. I highly recommend Aquasana and their products.
