Reverse Osmosis System

First of all: installation and maintenance is very easy. Here in Surrey this filter gives me 15 TDS which is not perfect for aquarium. But the worst thing is that the TDS meter is a joke. I have my own TDS meter and it is in line with this build in for the most of the time, besides when filter needs to be replaced. Inbuilt TDs meter was showing 16 ppm, mine 300 - tap water is here arround 350! After exchanging the CF filter, AND flushing it was lower and lower TDS measured by my TDs meter, but the inbuilt was showing 15 all the time !!!! Moreover, I assume these filter change alarms are automatic - like programmed for a period of time .. :( I will buy a PROPER RO filter after moving to another house. This one is OK for drinking. Build quality 5/5, ease of use 5/5. Filtering 2/5. Overall 3/5. Not recommended for aquarium use.

Ottima qualità costruttiva del prodotto, si installa in autonomia in circa un' oretta. Dopo 3 settimane di utilizzo non ho riscontrato alcun problema Finalmente addio alle bottiglie di plastica!

I finally got tired of going down to the local water station and filling up 5 gallon water jugs and broke down and bought a water filtration system for under the cabinet. I will admit, I had a little trepidation because I don’t generally like dealing with plumbing, but the installation for this system was extremely easy, and the instructions are very accurate and easy to follow. This WATERDROP unit fit very nicely under our kitchen sink. I even added a small water pressure tank as well as a mineralization filter and it didn’t take up half the space under our sink. Some things to consider when installing the system on your own or any system for that matter. You’ll need to know where your main water shut off is or at least have the ability to shut the cold water off under your sink because you will be tying into the cold water line under your sink. You’ll need an electrical outlet to plug the unit into, and you should be able to use the same one your dishwasher uses providing you have a dishwasher or garbage disposal. And a basic knowledge of plumbing will help as well but not necessary because the instructions are so easy to follow. All in all, it took me about three hours to get this installed mainly because I had to go down to the store and buy another fitting to hook up the refrigerator. We’ve had ours installed for about a month and a half to two months now and I enjoy being able to get freshwater right next to the tap at the sink. The water taste great and the filtering system seems to work very well on this unit. One thing to keep in mind, the water does not flow as fast as a regular sink faucet flows so be prepared that it takes a little bit longer to fill a glass of water up or a pitcher for example. If you think this will be a problem for you do some research and get a unit that has a faster water output. This particular unit has the digital display on the front, which will tell you when your filters need to be replaced. The manual says the filters have to be replaced every 6 to 12 months depending on the filter, but that could be different in your area based on how hard or soft your water is. As you can see from the picture below, the unit itself fits nicely underneath the sink, but all of the 1/4 inch tubing does look messy and I still need to get in there and try to make it a little neater. The tubing is somewhat rigid, so it doesn’t just lay on the bottom of your cabinet and kind of goes where it wants to go, so you may have to come up with a way to hook it to the wall or gently zip tie them together to make it a little neater. Also, it may seem like all of those plastic connectors wouldn’t work well or might fail, but honestly, once you push the tubing into those connectors, I’ve had no leaks whatsoever. Everything is nice and tight and secure. Plus it has the little blue locking rings that you put around the end of each connector to hold the tubing inside them so don’t be worried about that. All in all this is an excellent purchase and I’m really glad we got it. Having clean tasting water right from the faucet or the refrigerator is so much better than filling up ten 5 gallon water jugs twice a month. Don’t let this project seem overwhelming to you, with a few tools and the ability to read the instructions you’ll have it installed in no time.

Easy to install and works great. Had an issue after installation (our mistake) and customer service was incredibly responsive and helpful and even followed up to ensure it was corrected. Water is much cleaner and better tasting than with our old tank RO filter. Output is slower than with a tank, but not by much. Very happy with the unit!

bonjour très facile d'installation et tien peu de place le fonctionnement est bien bonne pression je le recommande salutations

“TDS Creep”, algo que deben saber todos los interesados en filtros de Ósmosis Inversa (RO), algo es natural y parte de la física de tales filtros. Excelente sistema, reducción a 2.7% de los TDS totales del agua de mi casa (740 ppm)… logrando de 18 a 25 ppm sin problema, muy por debajo de los 50’s mínimos recomendados para la salud ** (50-150 ppm) Mejor que los 5-15% que asegura Waterdrop en sus especificaciones Sin contar con el costo original del sistema… el costo por año es menor que el costo de comprar agua embotellada de “marcas conocidas”, y mejor calidad de agua que estas pues los 18 a 25 ppm que tengo son inferiores que los 60 a 80 ppm de dichos proveedores de agua, agua que suele tapar los filtros de los refrigeradores… no digo mas. El único inconveniente es el mencionado “TDS Creep”, efecto que sucede en las membranas de los filtros de Ósmosis Inversa… que sin flujo positivo (reposo, sin uso) el lado sucio se infiltra al lado limpio del sistema, ocasionando que el primer flujo de agua limpia luego de horas de descanso tenga una cantidad muy grande de TDS (140 ppm en mi caso). En sistemas con tanque esto no se sufre tanto pues el agua sucia (salmuera) se diluye con la previamente filtrada en el tanque… pero en sistemas sin tanque esto no es el caso, y la única manera de corregir es lavar el flujo por algunos segundos (30-40s en mi caso) para obtener agua realmente pura. Nota: mi sistema venia empacado con los filtros por separado… y aun así luego de semanas de uso el filtro RO fugó agua, filtrándose a través del chasis del sistema hasta el piso donde esta instalado… y para variar se corrigió quitando el filtro y volviéndolo a instalar. Mi hogar recibe agua de 740 ppm, y mi sistema hidráulico provee 50 a 65 psi de presión, para buenas o malas estas variables cuentan
