This is NOT made of the very best materials as the manufacturer claims, it is made of chrome plated brass. Water products like this will corrode and self-destruct eventually because the water is in contact with the brass. The very best material would be stainless steel.

Standard Airgap Reverse Osmosis Filter Faucet Review

Standard Airgap Reverse Osmosis Filter Faucet
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For the convenience of shopping/ordering this product and for the price, I think it's a pretty good deal. The product was delivered in a reasonable time. The product was packaged well and the parts and instructions for installation were all enclosed in the box.
I gave this product three stars instead of five because the black tap valve (the valve that releases the water for drinking located on the topside of the faucet)has an unexpected and bothersome loose fitting to it. The valve wiggles and shifts a bit in its groove as I press it to get water. I did not notice this until the faucet was installed, the tank filled and I pressed the valve for the first time. My household needs drinking water and I was reluctant to make any substantial fusses about the product. If the valve lasts, than it's not a problem. If the valve wears out and breaks at an early age, than it is a problem. We live out in the country and we have a well for our water supply. I take care of things and understand the necessities for preventative maintenance. My family does the same. We should be o.k. with the faucet.

As with all of the Berkey products this works extremely well and is very easy to clean and maintain. It's not a back pack unit, but for larger groups or as an emergency filter in a trailer or other vehicle it's hard to beat. Just make sure you prep the filters per their instructions and wash the unit thoroughly before use.

The compact Travel Berkey system is the perfect system for use during travel and any outdoor activities or during unexpected emergencies.This powerful system purifies both treated water and untreated raw water from such sources as remote lakes, streams, stagnant ponds and water supplies in foreign countries, where regulations may be substandard at best. Perfect for outdoor activities and a must in hostile environments where electricity, water pressure or treated water may not be available. The Travel Berkey system removes pathogenic bacteria, cysts and parasites entirely and extracts harmful chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides, VOCs, organic solvents, radon 222 and trihalomethanes. It also reduces nitrates, nitrites and unhealthy minerals such as lead and mercury. This system is so powerful it can remove red food coloring from water without removing the beneficial minerals your body needs. Virtually no other system can duplicate this performance.Constructed of highly polished 304 stainless steel the system comes complete with two purification elements and utilizes the latest technological advances. This system has a storage capacity of about 1.5 gallons (5.7 liters) and when in use it stands 18" in height with a diameter of 7.5". The upper chamber nests within the lower chamber for transport and stands only 12" in height.Configured with two Black Berkey purification elements the system will purify up to 2.5 Gallons (9.5 liters) per hour.

Culligan US-600A 3/8-Inch Undersink Drinking Water Filter Review

Culligan US-600A 3/8-Inch Undersink Drinking Water Filter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Tired of spending your hard earned money on Brita Filter 5-packs? For 5 to 10 more dollars, you can get an under sink unit by Culligan that is easy to install, comes with a 3-month filter in the package (level 1 filter), and is easy to upgrade to more advanced filtration (up to level 4).
Summary: I am thoroughly impressed with this unit. I will update the review as time goes by if it breaks, or anything leaks, but it is well built and looks solid, and delivers water that I would say tastes better than Brita water.
I live in Upstate New York, where the water quality is OK, but there is often a lot of chlorine in the water. My main concern was reducing the chlorine taste, and this unit certainly does deliver.
I am breaking my review down into 5 parts, with each part getting 1 star weighting: 0 means poor, 1/2 means OK, and 1 means excellent
Ease of Installation: 1 star
I have been known to be a clutz around the house but I was able to do it without having any leaks or having to install any extra fittings. Everything is snug and tight out of the box. The fittings that come with the filter have a plastic inset that you can remove to fit directly on 3/8" OD pipe or feed line. They are not gimpy fittings, despite what you might think of a press together fitting. All of the fittings were snug and secure upon install. Water pressure tends to hold them together even more tightly when the system is pressurized.
Installation tip: (This applies if you have 3/8"OD plastic feed line going to your faucet) Instead of cutting the feed line you already have installed, buy a $3 feed line at a hardware store and cut it in half using tin snips or a sharp knife. Then you can turn the water off, remove the old feed line, and install the new feed line connected to the Culligan. This way, if something goes wrong, you can connect the old feed line back up and be back with running water in only 10 minutes or so.
The entire install takes only 30-45 minutes and if you have the right tools, you may not even need a trip to the hardware store.
Don't forget the silicone (waterproof) grease on the o-rings!
Water Flow: 1 star
I admit I was surprised by the voracity of the water flow. I haven't measured it in GPM, but it is nearly the same rate as when there was no filter installed.
Taste: 1 star
Water tastes fresh and clean and there is no aftertaste.
Ease of Use: 1 star
Turn on the tap, it works. No waiting for a pitcher to filter or worrying about if you'll have enough water to boil pasta without waiting 10 minutes, etc.
Upgradability: 1 star
You can buy a level 4 filter (the D40), which reduces lead and other nasties in the water, for about the same price as you pay for this unit, and it lasts for 6 months. Or, there is the Level 3 filter (the D30), which does almost as much as the D40, lasts for a year, and costs half as much. In terms of cost, it is really hard to beat the value of the D30.
Included Filter: 0.5 stars
If you want a higher degree of filtration you can always buy a level 2, 3, or 4 filter separately. However, the Level 1 filter makes your water taste nice, and for the price of the filter unit, is a nice addition. Some stores advertise units that do not include a filter, but not this particular seller.
The correct filter to buy for this unit is the D10, D20, D30, or the D40.
I am rounding up my 4.5 star review to 5 stars on Amazon, giving an extra 0.5 stars for the good feeling I got after installing the filter (and because you can only do 4 or 5 stars, not 4.5)!

5 Stage Reverse Osmosis Water Filter System With Storage Tank Removes Fluoride Review

5 Stage Reverse Osmosis Water Filter System With Storage Tank Removes Fluoride
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This seems to be a great RO system once you figure out how to install it... The instructions that come with it are pretty poor. If you aren't familiar with a modest amount of plumbing, have someone else install it for you.
A few clues to make this go easier for you:
Not all the fittings that come with the system will necessarily work with YOUR current plumbing.
The color coded tubes didn't match the instructions. This doesn't matter EXCEPT FOR ONE: there is one tube with a little restricted fitting inserted. This is for your waste line. IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO GET THE SYSTEM TO OPERATE! This is what creates the back pressure for the system.
Looking from the front,
Your water input to the filter (from your cold water line) goes to the bottom right fitting (into the first big filter, it is labeled "IN" above the fitting.
Just above that is a "T" fitting, the open port goes to your tank.
They send a shutoff valve that goes on top of the tank that the nylon tube goes into.
On the left side of the membrane (lower horizontal cylinder) are 2 fittings, one used already, the other one goes to your drain (use the saddle valve provided).
The last tube goes on the left side of the top cylinder (your final filter) goes to your faucet.
Tips for your waste line:
IF you use an air gap faucet (required in some places, prevents drain backups from going into the RO system), the drain restrictor won't fit on the faucet end so turn the tube around and have the restrictor in the fitting towards the RO membrane. To use an air gap faucet, you will need to do some creative plumbing to get the different size tube from the faucet to your drain. There are 3 ports on the faucet (1 on a normal faucet), 1 for clean water from your final filter, 1 normal sized coming from your membrane, and one larger tube to go to your drain. I got my faucet at my local plumbing supply house. (Home Depot didn't have one). The air gap faucet does "burble" for a while after using the water but I consider it a small price to pay to make sure my system stays clean.
Tips for starting up your system:
When I first connected my system, I connected the water line to the input. I disconnected the tube from the leftmost carbon filter and attached a different tube and ran it into my sink. I turned the water on and flushed the excess carbon out of the filters for 5 minutes. This way all that carbon didn't get into my tank and RO membrane. I have no evidence, but I believe this will extend the life of my membrane a little. After connecting everything, I turned the system on and nothing came out. It took about 10-20 minutes for the system to build enough pressure to come out of the faucet. I followed the instructions and ran about 10 gallons through the final filter before using the water.
I also added a quick connect "T" in the line going to my faucet AFTER flushing the system of carbon and ran one side to my faucet and the other to my refrigerator so I have clean ice and cold water. I did the flush first so I wouldn't have to flush the carbon through my ice maker for who knows how long. When I replace the final carbon filter, I will disconnect my fridge until after I flush it again.
Also, since you are stripping your water of most or all of the minerals, please get some good quality liquid trace minerals to add back in with every glass you drink. Our bodies are meant to get a significant amount of minerals from our water.
Enjoy!

Aqua-Pure AP217 Replacement Cartridge for Drinking Water System Filters Review

Aqua-Pure AP217 Replacement Cartridge for Drinking Water System Filters
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
There are many filtration systems that fit under your sink. I chose the Aqua-Pure system years ago because it is compact and took care of the rather modest drinking water problems in this area, mostly just the chlorine taste. My filter is hooked up to a separate water faucet that is used only for drinking, coffee and cooking water.
The Aqua-Pure does a good job for me. The water tastes just fine, no chlorine taste or smell, no noticeable impurities. Changing it every six months is best in this area. If I wait a year, the water flow is too slow and the the water tastes so much better after the replacement, indicating that I was being too cheap and should have replaced it earlier.
Changing it isn't too bad. Bear in mind that both the outer case and the filter cartridge itself have to be screwed in. Both are plastic and so the "feel" is sticky and vague and tightening is not intuitive. Be careful, especially with the cartridge as that little nipple is not exactly robust.
So, this system works, is hidden and handy. Are the cartridges worth $25 bucks a shot, at least $50 a year? I would say that if your water is not too horrible and two changes a year are ok, then the price is high, but relatively affordable. If your water is worse, then I think you would be better off with something like a reverse osmosis system. If the water in your area is truly horrible, then you need a special industrial system. Even if the price of filters is ok with you, the Aqua-Pure is for low-flow use at a tap only.
And, as with any dedicated water filter, adding a separate faucet can be difficult or look odd. I got a sink with enough openings to make adding a faucet easy enough and it integrates nicely.
At some point, order the gasket for the housing. Good to have on hand just in case. Mine has lasted years, but you never know...
Three stars because the product works as advertised. Lost two stars for higher than necessary cost and somewhat chancy tightening with plastic to plastic threads.

all of them were similar and in the same price range; this one was the cheapest.
the quality of everything that came in the box was pretty amazing, down to the brass fitting, while the other 2 I tried were PVC.
the knock on this system is the installation manual picture of how to assemble all the washers- it was pretty bad, but I was able to figure it out.
perfect water stream and great taste.

very, very simple to install and I may be the world's worst plumber.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Watts Premier 531130 Filter-Pure UF-3 3-Stage Water Filtration System

The Watts Premier Filter-Pure UF-3 Water Filtration Device utilizes three-stage filtration to ensure you get cleaner, healthier drinking water straight from the tap. In addition to reducing lead, chemicals, and chlorine taste and odor, the UF-3 uses Hollow-Fiber technology to trap and remove even the tiniest particles from your water. Featuring a patented space-saving design that is perfect for houses and apartments, the UF-3 can be installed in a matter of minutes.
Three-Stage Filtration Removes ContaminantsThe Watts UF-3 filters drinking water in three stages. Once the system is connected, water from the tap passes through a five-micron sediment filter, followed by a heavy-duty one-micron carbon block filter that reduces lead and chemicals.
The third stage of filtration involves a state-of-the-art UF Hollow Fiber Technology membrane. Hollow Fiber Technology uses standard home water pressure to push water through a semi-permeable membrane. Suspended particles and materials of high molecular weight are unable to pass through the 0.2 micron UF membrane, leaving you with only fresh clean water and dissolved minerals.
This specially formulated filtration process is capable of reducing cryptosporidia, giardia, entamoeba, and toxoplasma, as well as a long list of chemicals--from herbicides and pesticides to disinfection byproducts and gas additives.
Cleaner Water Straight from the TapIt is estimated that VOCs (volatile organic chemicals) are present in one-fifth of the nation's water supplies. These contaminants can enter ground water from a variety of sources, including herbicide and pesticide runoff, gasoline or oil spills, leaking underground fuel tanks, disinfection byproducts, septic system cleaners, and chemicals used in the dry cleaning industry.
The UF-3 keeps you safe from these and other VOCs with its three-stage filtration, so you can turn on the tap with the assurance that you're getting cleaner, healthier drinking water.
Simple Operation for In-Home ConvenienceThanks to technological advances, the UF-3's sophisticated filtration process, which was commonly used only in municipal water treatment plants and hospitals, is now available for home use. The UF-3 is capable of running at low water pressures, and it won't alter the pH of your water. For added convenience, the filtration system doesn't require electricity or a separate holding tank.
Easy Assembly and Filter ReplacementThe UF-3 features unique swivel-valve, push-button assembly that allows for easy initial installation, as well as simple and sanitary one-step filter changes that don't require you to shut off your water source.
The Importance of Drinking Clean WaterWater is critical to proper food digestion, kidney health, brain function, blood health, joint functionality, and more. It's important to make sure that the water you drink is devoid of contaminants. Thankfully, using a Watts water filtration device will ensure consistent quality for all of your drinking and cooking needs. In fact, when you use Watts' high-quality certified water treatment devices and filters, your water will be free of chlorine taste and odors, particles, and many other contaminants that can be detrimental to your health.
*Please refer to the Performance Data Sheet for the complete list of claims for which this system is certified.
An Eco-Friendly ChoiceNot only is the UF-3 filter a healthy choice for you, but it's also a healthy choice for the environment. This filter helps you minimize the harmful environmental consequences of buying bottled water. Incredibly, if a mere ten percent of North America's bottled water intake were reduced by switching to home-filtered water in reusable containers, we could eliminate:
Depending upon which Watts water-filtration product you use, you can prevent up to 16,000 half-liter bottles from being deposited in landfills--all in the time it takes to use and replace a single filter.
The Watts Premier Filter-Pure UF-3 Water Filtration Device is backed by a three-year limited warranty.

Culligan FM-15RA Level 3 Faucet Filter Replacement Cartridge Review

Culligan FM-15RA Level 3 Faucet Filter Replacement Cartridge
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Brita faucet filter does an excellent job of filtering out impurities from tap water -- that is, when it manages to stay attached to the faucet. However, in my experience with it (two years and two different models), a tremendous amount of my valuable time was wasted trying to reattach the filter after it would repeatedly fall off. Although I have no direct experience with the Pur faucet filter, my understanding (drawn from other reviews) is that it suffers from the same problem.
Happily, after purchasing the CULLIGAN Faucet Filter several months ago, I can now report with confidence that it is plagued by no such similar defect. In other words, once attached, it remains firmly in place, and works every bit as effectively as rival brands. So for anyone who has tried those other brands and encountered endless frustration in endeavoring to keep them attached to the faucet, my advice is: Don't give up just yet! Try the Culligan model. It's solidly built, competitively priced, and replacement cartridges are readily available from Amazon. For me, at least, the Culligan at last put an end to the gratuitous, time-wasting burden of having to continually reattach a recalcitrant water filter.

ZeroWater ZD-013 Filtration Pitcher with Electronic Tester, Filter Included Review

ZeroWater ZD-013 Filtration Pitcher with Electronic Tester, Filter Included
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Most of us have had water filtration systems; either the under sink, mounts to faucet, or most commmonly, the filter-in-pitcher system. I saw this on a late night infomercial and was hooked. I will keep this review short and sweet:

Pluses: Nice attractive color, Spigot and valve ON the pitcher so no need to remove the pitcher from the fridge everytime you want some water, Zero-water meter is included (and can be stored IN the pitcher)
Minuses: Capacity could be greater. Filter is so massive that you go through the filtered water QUICKLY, especially if you have a larger family;
AND...the #1 drawback: This pitcher filters VERY SLOWLY. I am used to other Brita-type units and this is the slowest I've ever seen. Often when the pitcher is over half-full, and I fill the top reservoir, it doesn't drain completely after 3-4 HOURS. I have to keep a 1/2 gallon bottle in the refrigerator filled with cold filtered water since this filters so slowly.
So, great concept, water is fantastic, but pitcher filters way too slowly if you have a family larger than 2-3.

With the ZeroWater Pitcher you can get cleaner, fresher water without tapping into your plumbing line, using bulky water coolers, and wasting your money on expensive bottled water. Thanks to an innovative five-stage filtration process, the ZeroWater Pitcher offers more complete water filtration than ordinary carbon filters. And for convenience, this pitcher neatly stores right in your refrigerator door.
More Effective, Affordable, and Environmentally Friendly Than Other FiltersEven if you live in a municipality that cleans or treats water, water can pick up chemicals on its way from the treatment plant to your faucet, giving your tap water a metallic or chlorinated taste. Water that's purified with a ZeroWater Pitcher, however, tastes the way water should: crisp, clean, and fresh.
Tested and certified by the Water Quality Association and NSF International for removal of several minerals, ZeroWater is the only filtration system that fits the FDA definition of purified bottled water. And at a fraction of the cost of ordinary carbon filters.
The ZeroWater pitcher not only improves the taste of your tap water, it also helps to improve the environment. When you use the ZeroWater Pitcher, you'll reduce your use of plastic water bottles that clog up landfills and harm ecosystems. You'll also contribute to water conservation, because unlike reverse-osmosis systems, ZeroWater is gravity operated and doesn't waste electricity or water.
Five-Stage Filtration System for Water That Scores a Perfect "000"At the heart of every drop of water that's purified by a ZeroWater Pitcher is an independent, laboratory-calibrated water tester called a TDS meter. TDS stands for "Total Dissolved Solids" and represents the amount of dissolved substances that can negatively affect the way water tastes.
Unlike conventional gravity-fed or carbon water filters that remove only certain substances from your water, ZeroWater's patented Ion Exchange System with Five-Stage Technology provides the only filtered water to measure an absolute "000" on the TDS scale, which means that 100% of dissolved solids have been completely removed.
To help put this in perspective, meter readings for tap water average between 075 and 300. Conventionally filtered water measures between 030 and 500, and bottled water measures between 000 and 350. Unlike the alternatives, with ZeroWater you can be sure you'll get 100% great-tasting water.
Battery-Powered Meter Makes it Easy to Test Your WaterThe beauty of the ZeroWater Pitcher is that you don't have to accept purity claims at face value. Test your water yourself with the included meter and watch as the zeros come together to ensure that you're getting the best-tasting water possible.Powered by two easy-to-replace 1.5-volt button cell batteries (included), this meter also lets you know the status of your filter. For instance, if your meter reads "006," it's time to replace the filter.
Sleek, Contemporary Design for Ease of UseThis single-chamber pitcher features a sleek, patent-pending design that allows for easy storage in your refrigerator door. For added convenience, a handy dispenser at the bottom of the pitcher's handle allows you to access water without removing the pitcher from the fridge.
What's in the BoxPitcher, one filter, and one TDS meter.

The Culligan 2650 was easy to install; I installed it within 20 minutes, provided the hole on my sink was already there for the faucet. The instructions walked me through everything, even have detailed instructions via pictures for the lazy reader. Comes with an ergonomic long reach faucet. The new design on the lead free faucet looks almost like the ones they have in Lowe's for $50. Filter unit warnes user with audible beeps and LED lights to indicate when filter needs changing (uses a 9V battery, included). So far, this is the only unit that I know that removes MTBE's, VOC's, and more at a low cost of $32 per filter cartridge replacement set (500 gallon filter life, Pentek brand name at filterpros.com). I avoided Lowe's and Home Depot water filters b/c they use proprietary filters, forcing consumer to buy expensive filter cartridges. All other pressure fed water filters I know use $40+ filter cartridges (i.e. Aquasana). I switched to the under sink filter b/c my Pur faucet head filter keeps leaking, and I got sick of replacing them after the third time. I get filtered water at less than $0.07/gal, and I get great tasting water in an instant; it fits my needs perfectly.
