Know before you buy
This system features a tankless design, which saves significant space under your sink while providing a continuous, on-demand supply of filtered water.
The premium filters are designed for longevity and typically last over 12 months, depending on your water usage and quality. Because it uses a manual indicator, you will want to keep an eye on your water flow or taste to determine the exact replacement time for your household.
This 3-stage system is effective at reducing sediment, chlorine, unpleasant tastes, odors, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It is NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 certified to ensure it meets rigorous standards for contaminant reduction.
The system includes all necessary components for installation, making it a straightforward project for those comfortable with basic plumbing tools. However, if you are not experienced with under-sink connections or water line pressure, hiring a professional is recommended to ensure a leak-free setup.
While any filtration system can cause a slight reduction in flow, this unit is engineered to maintain consistent pressure within the recommended 20 to 85 PSI range. As long as your home's incoming water pressure falls within these specifications, you should notice minimal impact on your daily water use.
This system is specifically designed for use with municipal tap water. If you are on a well system, you may require additional pre-treatment or specialized filtration to address specific well-water contaminants like iron, bacteria, or heavy minerals.
