Easy to install, water taste good and no smell of chlorine anymore, no more buying bottled water, I'm happy with the purchase.

Most people can install this themselves as long as they have more up to date plumbing.

Improved our water taste immediately

Let me preface this by saying this is my second time buying this exact filter from this company. I bought one for my first apartment and it outlived my stay there. I moved into a new apartment and purchased it again without hesitation. Water taste? GONE. 100%. The strong chemical taste and smell are completely gone. I live in Fort Worth, Texas, where the municipal water is treated with chloramines and has a higher, alkaline pH (this is publicly reported in the city’s water quality data). If you’re sensitive to taste and smell like I am, you’ll immediately notice the difference. Design and installation: It’s long, slim, and takes up very little space, which is perfect for apartment living. I bought the quick-connect version and installation was quick and straightforward. It does require a few basic tools, but the process is simple and well explained. Important install tip: Keep filter replacement in mind when choosing the install location. You’ll need enough clearance underneath to remove it. Replacement is a twist-and-pull-down motion, so don’t install it too close to the cabinet floor. Planning ahead makes future filter changes easy. (Leave like 2-3 inches open) Practical and environmental bonus: I’ve stopped buying bottled water. A 40-pack at Walmart is around $6 and it goes fast. This filter cost me $129.99, and spread over about 5 years that’s roughly $26 per year, which is far cheaper than constantly buying bottled water. On top of the savings, it significantly reduces plastic waste, which matters to me. (Although I would never let it reach max capacity to be honest) Final thoughts: I genuinely love this filter. It’s effective, compact, easy to replace, and ideal if you live in an apartment and don’t have the option for a whole-house system. (Reverse osmosis still the best thing BUT I CANNOT AFFORD IT) Everyone should have one. My only wish is that I had the same filtration in my shower as well. Highly recommend.

Water taste awesome
