Installation process was easy and quality of water is good. But the water flow is very slow.
Pros: Clean taste, Easy to install
Cons: Slow pour
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello,
Thank you for your review. We certainly wish to help resolve this soon! Kindly proceed with the following troubleshoot steps:
Step 1: Turn off the main water supply underneath the sink. Step 2: Remove the sump from the manifold and reconnect. Step 3: Ensure that the connection points align correctly and turn the sump from the left to the right until it stops. Step 4: If the sump is not locked in the correct position, it can slow the flow of your system. This process should mitigate that issue. Step 5: Once re-threaded and re-attached, test by turning the water supply back on.
If further guidance is needed, we kindly ask you to contact us directly at 866-662-6885 Option 1, Monday thru Friday from 8 am-5:30 pm CST.
We replaced an older AQ 4601 2 stage filter with an AQ 5200 2 stage filter today. The older unit was 8 years old and worked well until recently, springing a leak at the tubing joining the two filters at the bottom. Parts to effect a repair were no longer available. The new unit has several differences. It appears that the procedure for changing filters is much easier, and the routing of water lines is simpler with a single line connecting to the dispensing faucet( the old unit had three lines) and a single supply line, making the installation much easier. The new design faucet does not drip after the valve handle is shut off unlike with the older faucet which was a complaint by some in the past. Unfortunately, the new dispensing faucet is a much less substantial piece of hardware weighing about half or less compared to the old design and does not have the quality feel that is obvious in the older unit. I am hopeful this new unit will be durable, resistant to leaks, and prove easy to replace filters, but would have preferred a more substantial dispensing faucet unit. Time will provide the answers.
Pros: Clean taste, Good Water Flow, Easy to install
This was my third under sink system from Aquasana. We have been an Aquasana customer since the early 90's and this system did not disappoint. Easier to install and has an excellent water flow.
Pros: Clean taste, Good Water Flow, Easy to install
Enjoying the simplicity of this unit, we decided to stop chasing the local spring water. Unknown source and untested. This is much more convenient and frees up refrigerator space as well! Looks very nice and the unit is hidden away. We got set up for 6 month recurring filter replacement also
Pros: Easy to clean, No odor, Long lasting filter, Good Water Flow, Nice faucet, Easy to install
I had to buy an 1/4" tubing extension (it was a foot too short for my sink), but the installation was easy, and once I got the extension, it took less than an hour. The water tastes great and feels clean.
Pros: Easy to clean, No odor, Clean taste, Long lasting filter, Good Water Flow, Durable, Nice faucet, Easy to install
Well shucks. I've always trusted Aquasana products because they are one of the few vendors who list performance criteria in a very detailed way. But there is one question I don't seem to be able for which to get an answer. Does the order of the filters make a difference? I've had problems with this particular product leaking and the last thing I wanted to do is remove the filters and them put them back in the order shown in the picture. I eventually gave up on the support people and reversed the filter order. Yep, it leaked for a few days. Just as I expected. Against the manufacturer's recommendation in the manual, I took the leaking filter off and greased the o-ring with a dielectric grease. Its all fine now, but I constantly check for leaks just in case.
Pros: No odor, Clean taste
Cons: Difficult to install
I would recommend this to a friend!
