Review on Waterdrop Filter Reminder: Safeguard against Chlorine and Fluoride Contamination by Djuan Thompson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

DIY.maybe. for kitchen and bathroom plumbing

First, the valve shown on the supply line adapter is NOT a shut off valve for both outlets. It only blocks the flow to the inlet of the filter unit. So if you are replacing this system with an old one, your inlet fittings must be correct, especially for the 1/2" copper tubing and compression fitting. The supplied inlet valve assembly is a tube fitting. Also the valve of the complete adapter that feeds the filter unit does not completely shut off the water supply. A drop is noticeable from the tube. I think for an under sink device the design of the valve could be better. Install a check valve on both the supply and drain lines, or provide a 1/2 inch compression fitting for the tube adapter. 3 trips to Home Depot for the correct fixtures and I have to make another trip to get my sink shut off valve. to be fitted in front of the supplied adapter For the price, the product should come with the appropriate adapter, also for alternative applications Haven't tested the filters yet, but the installation is a big problem for the time being. Connection everything fine, no leaks, make sure that I put teflon tape clockwise on the male threads, there is no rubber grommet to attach the outlet, so I need one of these if you don't want to scratch the stainless steel sink. The device is quite attractive once installed. The connections on the filter unit are simple. The quality of the exiting water seems to be good. bus" design for 3 phi filters. I've struggled with the horribly leaky Omni system for years, and the Waterdrop system eliminates the tedious and difficult process of unscrewing filter housings. Changing filters is a blessing that easy. Manufacturers suggestion: If the filter isn't already designed as such, make one for this system that filters cysts, giardia and cryptosporidia, the pathogens in contaminated water the results are Preferred Buy Made in the USA but couldn't find a similar design domestically** Update After a week of use my rating for filtered water could be 4 out of 10 One of the filters must be a 0.5 micron filter Having previously had a device with a 0.5 micron filter the waterdrop can Don't filter system OK good Unit price is overpriced based on filtered results.
