Water filter under the sink
Very happy with my purchase. I liked the fact that I only need to change the filter once a year.

Needed Professional Installation
I paid $230 to have it installed professionally. It was not as easy as I expected and the plumber need to run to pick up parts. So it took about 2 hours. On the other hand my sister had no problem and the plumber installed it in 15 minutes. But I'm happy with my purchase anyway.

Wonderful, yummy , easy!
Me and my family live in the city and have chlorinated city tapwater which I cannot drink because it makes me feel so ill. We also live in an old house that has old tubes made out of different kinds of metal. This water filter has completely changed our water! Not only does it test so clean, but it taste so clean and so amazing! I no longer get nauseous by drinking our water. Easy installation ,actually works, I think no longer turns yellow… it’s amazing. Don’t hesitate to get it.
