Review on Express Water Alkaline Reverse Filtration Filtration by Barbara Robinson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best kit I have ever used

I installed 3 of these kits and this one had the best instructions and quality parts. They also include several additional features such as a pressure gauge and leak detector. The reason the kit got 4 stars instead of 5 is because one of the pre-wired connections was leaking when I turned on the water. I had to take it apart, cut off the end and put it back together. First you will need a pair of pipe cutters. Dikes crush pipes and cause leaks. Something like Ao Rong's disposable plastic pipe and pipe cutter (used for sprinkler systems) or in my case I used a wire cutter that I had. In both cases the tool does not crush the pipe when cutting, and this is very important. If you are replacing an existing system like I am you will need to cut off the old pipe ends. Over time, the connector will deform the hose and create a depression that will leak with the new connector. So cut it off about 1 inch and you're done. After my old system was removed and the new one installed with the existing plumbing, it took about 1.5 hours. Add another 30 minutes to 45 if you need to run new tubes. Good with reach for DIY. And the water tastes great :)
